I write too much too little for no reason. Now I'm off to hyperfixate on detailing that bush.

    It's been three whole years since I started writing! Woohoo! All that time wasted thinking about ponies! :pinkiehappy:

    Jinx, where ya been?

    Hiya! How's tricks? Are you doing well? :twilightsmile:

    Sorry I've not been around or writing much for, like, a month. I put out a side story a 'lil while ago, but it's honestly not my best work. You can go read it if you haven't, but I can do better—and I should've done better. It's just that writing has been... a tenuous activity for me for awhile now.

    What it says on the tin! :twilightsmile:

    Just thought I'd give a 'lil heads up, since I'm anticipating total completion of the chapter in the next few days. Three, tops. i've said stuff like that before. hedge your bets, 'cause it might take four

    A freaky dream, and the continuation of The Stereotypical Necromancer!

    So, I'm guessing there's one of those two things you're probably more interested in, yeah?

    Well, too bad! I'm talking about the dream I had last night, first! :rainbowwild:

Bit of a delay on Ch - 18 · 6:43am Apr 16th, 2021

Unfortunately, I seem to have run dry on creativity.

So the next chapter of The Stereotypical Necromancer is going to take a while to write.

I've been trying to write for well over a day now, but it's not been any good. My usual flow of words isn't coming to me like it usually does. It's not for lack of trying, mind you. I've stared at my computer screen for nearly all of my free time since the last chapter came out, trying to come up with something. But words just aren't coming, which is pretty disheartening.

It's not that I don't know what to do with the story, I actually have big plans for the next few chapters. But usually, the way I write is 'Fill space until big event', and I'm having trouble with that right now. Transitions and descriptions are big problems for me, which is basically all writing is.

So I seem to have temporarily forgotten how to write. :twilightsheepish:

So, anyone waiting for the next chapter shouldn't be surprised if it takes a day or two or three.

But don't worry! The story will continue! I had a similar problem about a week ago, so there's precedent. But I pushed through it, and even found enough inspiration to write three chapters in the span of a little over a day. So I'll probably be fine. I just need to take a step back for a while.

I've been writing almost nonstop since around the 3rd, and I'm guessing that I'm finally running out of steam. It's not healthy to force yourself to do things, or so I've read. So I'm gonna take a minute to myself.

See you in the next chapter! whenever that may be

Dude, you've been cranking chapters almost everyday while I haven't posted one in a month. We'll wait for the next chapter. No rush! :twilightsmile:

Yeah, that's kind of what I was figuring. :twilightsheepish:

40k words in 11 days isn't so bad, considering my lackluster resume. Something I'm decently proud of, actually.

Since I've been putting out chapters pretty much every day, like you said, I didn't want anyone to worry If I went dark for a bit.

Probably not needed, but what can I say? I'm a worrier. :rainbowlaugh:
