IN WHICH I CHANGE ONE WORD
I'm burnt out on posting Japanese stuff. So here's some good ol' modern-era Canadian jazz.
This was the first song I ever played in marching band, so it has a special place in my heart. Anyway…
When I was going through my highly downvoted Orangeglow Visits Ponyville story yesterday, I decided to change one word. Just one. If I had made that change before I posted the story, perhaps it might not have been so hated.
PS -- Vaguely Demented, if you're reading this, the reason why he was in Ponyville to begin with is because he was on a flight out of Canterlot to his croquet field near Koniksberg, saw Friendship Castle when approaching Ponyville, and made his guards land. I pulled that explanation out of my ass just now, but it's in character for OG so it doesn't matter.
I decided to go back to editing Chapter Two of "Annie". I fixed the redundant bits at the beginning, but I'm not even close to having it ready. I'm wondering if I'll be able to get that chapter up to two thousand words without being redundant.
This story is written in a different manner than I usually write things -- it is one character explicitly narrating to another, but it's NOT a second-person work -- I generally hate that style -- it's first-person. But it sort of meanders a bit in the beginning before the narrator gets to the point because said narrator keeps thinking up semi-related and possibly relevant things to throw in for context and then gets lost.
I'm sorry. I don't really have a lot to say tonight. Just wanted to say I changed a word in my latest Orangeglow story that automatically renders the whole thing slightly less offensive.
Peace out!
