To write is to create entire universes. You are a god. But will you be a kind god or a cruel god? Unfortunately, many are cruel, simply to entertain other gods.

    New Directions

    I've decided to start working more on the Fallout fic and even rewriting Where the Apples Grow. It's come to my attention that it's been years since I've started here on Fimfiction and I have definitely improved, so you can expect new chapters as well as reworks of older chapters in Redemption is Magic.

    Current Update

    We had initially planned to end the Fluttershy Arc in the current chapter, but after some debate, we had decided it would be better to create more buildup. Zone's character had not been fleshed out and I had originally wanted to show more of her viewpoints and emotions. Luckily, with some urgency from one of our editors, we have been able to agree upon extending this arc due to a lack of buildup

    I'm not dead.

    My current silence is due to a living situation that is currently changing. I will soon be able to work on the stories again.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I'm talking to a pretty big author right now and I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing to them. My anxiety just goes through the roof because I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing that offends others, or that I might do something wrong. I often second-guess my messages and it's very scary to think of future responses in the mail.

Does anyone have any tips on how to calm down?

I feel that

The person you’re taking to is a person as well, feeling the exact same thing you are. With that in mind, realize that offense can be very hard to give or take in the writing world, especially from a wrong word or two. My advice, like with everyone, is just treat everybody as you would anyone else.

I'm sorry about that. Lord knows I feel anxious when I reach out to someone about story ideas of my own. DX

Best advice I can give is to be polite and considerate, treat them as you yourself would want to be treated. If they're rude or offensive in return, then that's on them.

Oh, my god, I'm a hypocrite. I give the same advice. :fluttershbad:

Hugs.

As for calming down. Do something you like. Watch a funny lovie beforehand, call a friend or talk for a bit. Make sure you have your favourite tea in reach.

And the advice I give to everyone: Worrying about a problem does not help, it can only make it worse. So don't worry.
