    Where Have I Been?

    Hey guys, wow...it's been forever since I've been here but all for good reason. I'm not gonna give you a long introduction, so lets just get to it.

    I've just been busy and haven't found the time and interest to come back here and finish my story "4460 and the Equestrian Magic Railroad."

    Story Art for 4460 and the Equestrian Magic Railroad.

    Some of my readers from school suggested for me to do story art for a few chapters. So this is one of Celestia and Southern Pacific 4460. Hope you guys like it.

Where Have I Been? · 8:47pm Oct 11th, 2018

Hey guys, wow...it's been forever since I've been here but all for good reason. I'm not gonna give you a long introduction, so lets just get to it.

I've just been busy and haven't found the time and interest to come back here and finish my story "4460 and the Equestrian Magic Railroad."

One of the main reasons being, I was no longer proud of what I was writing. My 15-16 year old self had no idea what I was writing or how to write, which really shows in some of the feedback people gave me. I was also very new to the MLP fandom, not knowing much or anything at all about some of the characters. Another thing is, I just found the plot really stupid. My perspective on how a story is written and how a good one should be written has changed a lot ever since I graduated high school back in 2017.

In between, I found a more supporting platform for a talent I was genuinely good at; drawing. I discovered DeviantArt in 2015 and somewhat made that my new home. But as time progressed around the time I went to college, even DA seemed to collect dust.

I'm now 19, going on 20 in 4 months, and my life is changing almost for the better. Good riddance I chose not to go back to school, because college sucked. I have a job, making some green, I have a loving, supporting girlfriend, I've found the greatest group of friends I could ever ask for, I've discovered I'm pretty decent in photography, I travel, and I'm generally just enjoying my life.

Within the next few months, I'll also be applying to the major Class 1 railroads which will have me on call 24/7 with 12 hour shifts. It's not an easy task, but I've always wanted to work for the railroad.

So yeah, I know a lot if you may be disappointed that I'm discontinuing the story, but the person who wrote that, isn't the same person today. It's a waste of energy and time to work on something that no longer interests you.

Will I make any new stories? Maybe, maybe not. I haven't kept up with MLP in the past year, so Season 7 and Season 8 I'm clueless about.

And with the show coming to an end in 2019, I'm uncertain if the audience on here will continue to thrive or dwindle. Maybe something new will spark for G5 and captivate the bronies. Who knows?

So here's what I'm going to do. For those who actually loved "4460 and the Equestrian Magic Railroad," you have my full permission to do whatever you want with it. It's all yours! You can rewrite it if you want to, you can continue from the last chapter, I don't care. It's your story.

Before I go, check out my YouTube, Flickr, Instagram, and DA if you wish.

That's all for now, maybe forever.

Peace.
