That feeling when you'll never be a famous pony writer who burns out and fades into obscurity. Why even live?

    On Incest

    So, I've been given the dubious honor of being one of the judges in the Incest is Wincest Contest. When Shake first asked me if I wanted to be a judge, I was a little baffled at first. Why me, one of the hardest to please and most critical, bitter husks of a human being that ever walked the

    Editing

    As I work on my next fic (which will be a short fic), I've started to realize I need a good editor.

    About Ch5 of CC

    I will admit, I feel a little bad about ch4 and 5.

    Back when I returned to write ch4, my feelings about writing sexy times had changed. I didn't feel like I had set it up properly and ultimately, it didn't feel right to me. But on the other hand, I also still had a personal interest in seeing the original premise of Apogee and Delta having some incesty fun.

    Course Correction ch5

    So I orginally intended to take a break from CC and do some other project in-between chapters, but I ultimately wound up coming back to it anyways.

    It's 80% done. The writing is done, just the editing is left, which may or may not take that long.

    Still writing

    Although it's been a while since I posted something, I've actually been actively writing for a few weeks now.

    I've started writing on a lighthearted fic just recently. Got a few thousand there.

Ideas are hard · 8:28am Oct 11th, 2018

Not because I have trouble thinking of them, though. It's actually the opposite for me: I have too many ideas and struggle to choose between them.

Following Course Correction chapter 4, I promised myself I'd write something a little different, and I've had plenty of novel story ideas. Some short, perhaps being one-offs, and others involving multiple chapter arcs.

And hell, I still think about ApoVee in spite of telling myself to branch out a bit. Although I'm satisfied with the way I've concluded the first story, I still feel like I have ideas left to explore for the characters, including the obvious direction to take them. I'm still interested in that too.

I also have this really itching desire to write an HiE(Human in Equestria) story of some kind. It's never that simple with me of course. I couldn't simply write a slice of life story with a human character. It'd have to be dramatic, and have some kind of interesting overarching plot. I've thought of ideas along these lines that range from apocalyptic world-ending plots to a sort of spy thriller with intrigue in it.

It's never simple.

Uhg...

Ideas are hard.

I know how that feels.
Originality is even harder.

If only you were able to fit 40 hours in a day and 20 days into a week, huh?

The dream.

I know what you mean about the HiE idea. I've been feeling the same for a long time too.

But I really want to do something new with the concept, yet anything new I can think of is so expensive and requires so much work the task quickly becomes overwhelming.
