    The editing process

    So I mentioned a long time ago that a long time ago someone wanted to know 'how I edit.' Now that I'm back into editing again for someone who writes pony, and I do bats' non-pony stuff I actually remember how I edit shit and turn it into gold.

    ...I'm so sorry

    Sometimes I feel the need to apologize for adding the stories to the twidash group. And if you have been in the group for any length of time you know exactly what I'm talking about. This most recent one more so. I'm fairly certain of either one of two things. The story approvers are blind or they have a vendetta against TwiDash. I add them for completions sake. I promise.


    I'm so sorry.

    Something clever and whitty

    So I decided to try my hand at writing. If you can even call it writing. Write a paragraph...scrap it. Write 2 paragraphs...scrap them. Go back to the previous paragraph....scrap it for the latter 2, scrap both for starting the story at an entirely different spot. To make it even more tedious my inner editor kicks in and I spend 30 minutes reading about the different uses of em dashes in the

    Something useful for a change

    I know I've been away from here for quite awhile, and I'm sure none all of you are concerned. Well basically I've left the fandom. I've just become disinterested with it. It happens, whatever.... The reason for me reaching out to people here is a concern that I feel interests many here.

    Illiteracy.

Grrrr · 7:49pm Nov 10th, 2012

This is gonna be my new place to whine rant, and for some reason I have two followers....freaking two and i don't even write stories.

So I just finished editing another chapter for one of my writers(hint hint: it's twidash). Okay, it's not a hint at all since all the stories I do are TwiDash. Speaking of which Doc and myself pretty much appointed ourselves the divine forces of TwiDash. We're like the Siskel and Ebert of Twidash...when Siskel was alive anyway. Oh right....expecting a rant.

So right, editing a chapter, and mind you I was doing pretty good right up until I was getting near the end, when certain...let's call them plot twists, came into light. Now I'm all for drama, killing Fluttershy(I hate her), and having Rainbow's wings torn to shreds as they often are. It might not be the same for some of you, but when a story touches on a topic that I've experienced it tends to get personal. I won't get into detail to avoid spoilers for the....two of you, but I digress. As I read, I noticed I was getting more and more pissed off. At the character...at the writer...even at myself for taking a story about lesbian ponies personally.

Suffice to say I need a pick me up. We need more happy-go-lucky, the world is perfect cause we're ignorant TwiDash. Or one where Fluttershy and Rarity die before they even get a chance to speak. This blog had no real purpose...well except maybe to say a TwiDash story will update soon...so yay for that.

Also I've had a headache all day...

*feels bad*

Doc kinda smacked me around about that chapter. The version after his edits is way better, I think, and might not be so button-pushing. Sigh, I managed to piss off both of you with this chapter. :twilightoops:

There was some personal history put into this chapter from me, too. It has a happy ending, I promise.

Can't exactly blame you for writing a story :twilightsheepish: It's just a touchy subject that immediately hits me in the feels, though that feel is usually "choke that bitch."

And I didn't expect anyone to read this...who follows someone who doesn't write?!:rainbowhuh:

Actually, I was trying to hunt through the Twidash archives and wanted to refer to your guide to get past the first page. :rainbowlaugh:

I suppose we're coming at this subject from different angles, because I was in Twilight's position several years ago. One of those weird things about being bisexual: occasionally you meet someone who seems as compatible as your current partner in such a completely different way that they're even a different gender. :twilightoops: I did stay with my (now ex) wife, although my relationship was far more cemented at that point compared to Twilight's and Rainbow's.

Ah, not sure why I wrote that guide. At first I thought either I was the only one it was happening too, or it would soon be fixed. When someone said something in the comments of the TwiDash group, I started tinkering around(from a smart phone since my computer wasn't working), and about 5 minutes later figured it out. Honestly, the fact that searching groups still doesn't work is appalling. It would take maybe 30 minutes to fix, and they obviously know about it, people have even complained on their facebook page. Oh well, until then my blog is still useful.:twilightsmile:

Definitely different angles, as I was in Rainbow's position. We stayed together too, but now I have an ex wife too :rainbowlaugh: EX-WIFE BROS

If anyone else even reads this, another TwiDash story is going to be updated soon, either tonight or tomorrow, depending.

EX-WIFE BROS!

Don't suppose this twi-dash story was one of my stories?

Nah, it was totally bats. Though you did send me a chapter about the same time.
