It’s a strange thing, isn’t it? To look back on where you’ve been and how much you’ve changed a couple of short years. Two years ago at this time, I was still very much ignoring this fandom, and the show that we all love. I was interested, but not wanting to acknowledge that interest, but it wasn’t to last. By the end of November I was bingeing the whole series on Netflix, and by the first of 2018 I was totally enraptured with these lovely little ponies and their world.
A few months later, and I had found this site, and started working on my own FanFiction. Which never saw the light of day, as I lost interest in it far too easily. Then me and my girlfriend had a random conversation one day, and it spawned Pony Plots, the only story I’ve managed to really stick with through the last couple years. Which is sad, considering I’ve been trying to write the last arc for it for months now, with little headway. Life’s been really busy, really stressful and really depressing, the last year or so, and I would be a liar if I said that the rapidly approaching series finale has not had something to do with that.
I’ve just . . . not been able to really focus on anything. I’ve got other ideas for stories, as well as the final arc for Pony Plots, but nothing seems to stick properly. It took my three weeks to write less than two thousand words, something I used to could do in one day. I’m not ever giving up, but it’s just been really hard, lately, to focus on anything. I dunno, this is just a little rant, and not anything new, as I’ve dealt with this crap far too often, it’s true.
I just thought I’d pop on here to let you all know I’m not dead. I’ll get more story out to you, when I can. Have a good day and very happy unicorn!
Harmonia Invictus!
