    100 000 words written this year so far

    I decided to calculate how much I've managed to write since 1st of January 2023 until today, 17th of April 2023, and apparently I have written more than 100 000 words. That is a decently-sized novel even if it's currently about 2/3rds of only one of my stories, and I'm not done yet. It honestly feels so good to be back into writing after barely doing anything about it for, what was it, two

    Important Announcement

    Long story short, I have decided to unpublish my earlier stories because I'm not comfortable with them. That's the gist of it.

    Life Update

    It's been a while since one of these.

    To those who wish to know, I'm doing as well as I can be considering, well, everything. Overall, stuff still sucks, but I'm managing. I'm still making discoveries about myself - recently I found out I may have some form of ADHD, which honestly explains so damn much.

    Apple is shit, never buy from them

    EDIT: I managed to fix it, so it appears Apple hasn't yet fucked me over completely. However, considering that iPhones did get locked without the ability to activate them for over a year now (here's the link for context), I won't bank on it not happening to even older devices like mine.

    Now, the old content of this blog post:

    Concerning my Harry Potter fanfics

    In short, I will not be continuing them. They are, as of the time I post this blog post, deleted. Why? Because I don't feel comfortable making Harry Potter content anymore.

    Now for the long explanation.

Rewriting Nightmare: Rise of the Demons · 6:53pm Dec 27th, 2018

I know the story reached 1k upvotes, I know plenty of people like it, but... I'm not content with how it is right now. I wanted to edit it for it to become better, but I'm not sure I can do that without giving myself a nasty headache and a broken story in the process. The rewrite will still follow the same plotline, but it will be much better due to my improved writing skills. What do you people think?

I'd say maybe worry about finishing it first, then focus on rewriting it? It's a good story, and I have to admit it's a bit silly at first, but it seems to be genuinely good the way it's going, and maybe more focus should be put on finishing it.

So same story better writing?

Yep. More meaningful details, better character interactions, better grammar. The story will make much more sense, and thing will be tidy and neat.

Finish it, and then rewrite it later when your done with anything major, maybe try to rewrite every chapter and then delete the old ones, and then publish the new ones?

Whatever you do, do not take down the old story.

I'll see what to do. To be honest, I think rewriting the original story makes more sense so that more people would see the good version when they see an update on the sequel.

I might make it link-only available, but that's it. Though, I've not decided yet.

Rewriting a story doesn't sound like a bad idea. If you cant continue it now cause your not happy with it's quality go ahead and rewrite it. Slowly replace chapters or full on delete it and replace it, just make sure you know what you wanna do with it and it's what you want to do with it.

Rewrite sounds good! Could barely read it before. Xp

I'll be posting the rewrite separately since it will be a rather different story in plenty of ways, and I don't think that the current upvotes and downvotes can accurately be attributed to the rewrite. After all, I will eliminate plenty of reasons why someone would dislike it. It would also change why people liked it. So, personally, I think that a complete rewrite being posted separately makes more sense.

You'll definitely be able to read it with more enjoyment once it's rewritten!

When's the first chapter come out? :pinkiehappy:
