Still At It · 7:35am May 22nd, 2019
Even with RL intruding on my creative time, this past March and April were my most productive months to date, with the publication of Our Principal Is A Belly Dancer, Where Are The Unicorns? and The Legacy Will Endure.
As I juggle several non-pony projects, a few story ideas continue to dance in my head:
- The Shadowbolts and Rainbooms gather at Rarity's for a belly dance party. No angst over acceptance this time around - just an evening of hummus, hip-shaking, and fun!
- Starlight Glimmer pays a visit to the human world. As she spends an afternoon with Sunset and Sci-Twi, she learns about the latter's belly dancing hobby. Intrigued, she decides to give it a try, as does Sunset. Sci-Twi is all too happy to teach them!
- Starlight Glimmer leads a guerilla insurgency against the Storm King's forces during the occupation of Canterlot.
Time and inspiration permitting, I wouldn't mind doing another horror story involving Crystal Prep Academy.
I enjoyed Spring Breakdown just a little bit more than I did Rollercoaster of Friendship. It was a nice change of pace to go without a villain/monster-of-the-week, and instead, have the girls deal with hazards both natural and otherwise. With the most recent shorts taking place at a music festival, I'm hoping that we'll see an adaptation of the Starswirl Do-Over, complete with the Dazzlings!
More as the Wheel turns.
Awe can't wait to see these
It's funny how things turn out, isn't it, with Real Life and writing? My most productive periods of writing when I was in college always, always was during finals season and when I had to do big term papers (and as an English major, I had plenty of those). And yet when vacation rolled around, I'd have so much more free time and yet so little inclination to do the writing that I by all rights would have WANTED to.
Anyway, glad to hear that you've got further story ideas churning around, a lot of them sound pretty interesting.
