So June has been a bit of a trainwreck for me, especially when it comes to mind-mapping ideas. It's kind of hard to describe what's been happening with my stories and what's been going on IRL. Yesterday was especially quite a difficult day, as I ended up sitting down on my bed having a meltdown, cursing to myself that I had completely wasted my time writing a story which I hated doing and asking myself why I haven't got round to working on my other projects. I sometimes wish that I'm able to write something at least daily, so then I can get a story out in good time. But, recently, I've had to go back to the drawing board and think about what I actually want to write, rather than what I must write.
Due to some problems that I've been having recently, I've had to cancel one project. This story won't be public. I've also had to delay the release of The Armada Trilogy III, and I'm wondering if it'll be worth it to either write and complete the third instalment or change the series into a duology. This decision hasn't been confirmed yet. The reason why I'm thinking over this is because of the difference in views with Vol I compared to Vol II. But if I'm to publish it, the earliest date would now be changed from late July to early September (unless I finish the Prologue and first chapter in time). Nonetheless, the Armada series will be concluded. There is also a possibility that I might write a standalone story of Tempest Shadow.
Act I, Scene 5 of I Am Not a Monster is currently being edited. This will conclude the first Act, and then I'll move onto Act II. I hope to write at least three more chapters for Act II.
I'm now writing the beginning of the currently untitled second chapter of You Are Fluttershy, although I would like people to vote wherever I'll actually continue the story with a second chapter or write a sequel, where I'll write more chapters one after the other. This will help me make a decision because I'm bad at making them!
Another potential story I was thinking of writing would be something cute, fluffy, silly, funny and heartwarming. Something that would make you want to snuggle up to something soft!
My Dad helped me to fix a virus, so our computer is okay now. I'm feeling better than I was yesterday, so I'm trying to be happy and smiley! If there's any advice, questions or help that you guys wish to ask me, wherever down below or in a private PM, then feel free to say so! My apologies for the inconvenience. Love you guys 'n gals!
Okay!
Good luck!

You're Welcome!
Never push yourself too hard.
Let the ideas flow into you naturally, forcing yourself to write something will lead to a story you feel less than pleased with. I hope you can have more relaxing days ahead, just have fun writing everything doesn't have to be a huge project.
I put myself on a schedule and nearly went insane. Lol
I think a fluff story is a lovely idea, nothing more refreshing than writing something cute!
