    Monthly update

    Hey guys, Frost here.

    Just thought I would poke in to give a bit of an update on things. I'm trying to get back into writing to continue some of the projects and stories that I've been working on, but a handful of things going on IRL has put any progress that I wanted to do on the back foot for the meantime.

    Still around, but things are slow

    Hey guys, Frost here. I know that I've been quiet for... well, a bit. But there's a few things that have my attention be focused elsewhere for the time being. It won't be for too long, but writing has kind of been on the backburner because of some IRL things going on (As always). I will try to have something up in August, but we'll see how it goes.

    Because we all know that the one thing that we need after saving the world is the best Summer Vacation...

    A little update on things.

    Hey guys, Frost here. As you know, I mentioned in my last blog that I had an idea in the works that I wanted to try out and see if people liked it.

    Well, after some thinking, I decided to go for it. Once I look it over a couple more times, it should be good and I'll be sure to submit it. In the meantime though, here's a small taste of the rabbit hole I've been working on.

Looking back and looking forward · 4:26pm Oct 16th, 2019

Okay, so... considering that I have seen numerous blogs about this from a lot of people and that I feel behind on the whole thing, I thought that it would be right in order to try and do one as well. Not like a 'hey guys, what's up?' kind of one where I explain what I got in store, but more like one to share my thoughts a bit. I might sound like I'm rambling, but I think this is important for me to get off my chest.

Last Saturday, the series finale had the story of the Mane Six come to a close after nine seasons. When all of this started with season one, I honestly did not think I would be someone who would get into it. But after watching some of it with a friend of mine and seeing some of the fan art and animations of it, I began to become a fan and like the series, characters and the world that everything took place in.

Yet, that was all before I actually started writing. I always have ideas for things, but most of the time, I find it difficult to express my ideas or fully put them down somewhere. Growing up on the autism spectrum didn't quite help either because it made me think that I was 'different' from everyone else and I feared that I would get ridiculed for it since I faced a lot of that in real life when I was in high school.

Then, after seeing a few of the early stories that were published by my friend ElementBrigade, I... well, I finally had the courage in order to actually present my creations and the inspiration to make the characters, world and my vision for it come to life. Yet, for the first couple of stories... part of me felt unsure if I was doing this right. Even though I was making some friends on here and even though people were enjoying my stories, I felt as if it wasn't something 'original'. Something that I was able to forge and create for myself. Many of my other works (Swords, Sorcery & Shenanigans, Watching over Us and Follow the Wind) felt as if they were either based on something that I had already seen, a concept that was done by several authors or looked like a pony re-enactment of something I've watched on YouTube or on TV.

Then came inFAMOUS: Second Storm. I did not have a PS4 or Second Son, but I saw that as a personal goal of mine to do and finish. Mainly, because at the time that I was writing it, I saw myself in Shawn's shoes. Granted, not everything in the story was the same as how things are going for me now, but there were some things that I can relate with him with. I was scared of who I was originally and because I couldn't be able to understand people like I do now. I've grown a lot since then, but part of me still looks back on that to see how far I've come since then.

I wasn't lucky to be able to do things that many authors would like BronyCon or participate in conventions (Heck, the only one that I went to was a place called Equestria LA for one day in 2013), but I still felt welcomed here. I was able to work with very talented authors and be friends with them. Even though the story of the Mane Six is over, I feel that our story... and mine are only just beginning.

The best way to summarize my thoughts on the finale is this quote from Dr. Seuss.

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

And right now, I'm gladly smiling. Here's to a decade of friendship and magic, as well as more magical memories going forward.
