That Feel When... · 5:07pm Dec 3rd, 2012
That feel when you haven't written in months, and you tell yourself, "Okay, today I'm going to write!" And then you don't.
But the next day you do! And you're up until 3 in the morning writing!
And it takes you like three hours to write only 1200 words and when you wake up you realize that you aren't going to use any of those words.
That feel, man. 
Bonus That Feel: when you log in for the first time in months and discover someone put a picture of autofellatio in your user page comments weeks ago. Hm. Yes. Jolly good.
Hi, Cups! Fic? Fic? Fic?
No seriously, I've no idea where you've been or why you've been, but I hope you get back into it! And hey, 1200 words written and not used are still 1200 words written!
569330 Hi, Cloudy! Yeah, 1200 words written is more than I wrote since the last time I wrote so I've written so I should write, right? Right. Write. ... Okay!
Woooh! Looking forward to some more Cupcakes fics! welcome back, man!
569362 It's actually more than I wrote the last time I wrote less than you wrote the last time you wrote after the last time you wrote, too!
Got any plans? Genre?
569374 Aww, thank you! It really does mean something to know people look forward to it.
569397 Loads of plans. I have like 20 one-sentence story synopses written, and I'd wager at least 5-10 of them could be decent if I could just spit'em out. But yeah, yesterday I managed to write for hours, and my plan was to build momentum on that, not unlike someone writing Nanowrimo... Here's hoping.
I know that feel bro.
Well, less the auto-fellatio and more the other stuff.
569454 It's lame. LAME. Dumb feels.
569397 And now I'm looking at something I wrote a long time ago that is potentially a good beginning to SOMETHING, but... it was already hard to decide precisely what direction to take the story back then. It's even harder now with the underlying subplot from the Season 3 premiere that Twilight has some sort of destiny... Dumb canon! Why do you have to be so not-yet-revealed.
I don't know that feel, but imagine this one:
I'm sitting in front of my PC, some EqD music of the day gets played in the background, while I log to Fimfiction. I casually open my notifications: some random stories added to some groups and some blogs from writers I follow. I absentmindedly ignore the fics, checking through the blogs when suddenly:

Cupcakes posted a blog!

So yeah, now that I gathered myself from the floor
let me welcome you back. 
I don't know where have you been, but it's good to see you back! And 1200 words is always better than 0, right? 
569491 Oh good grief, don't even mention that. I'm trying very very hard to just ignore that. Trying equally hard not to rant here.
But hey, come on, all stories' canon is set when you start writing. I keep saying this because I'm still as surprised now as I was when I was shown how true it is; readers aren't out to pin you against canon and such. That said, to pee all over my own words, I know I'm tempted to wait for season's end before I launch an entirely new series. I want to write more AppleShy that isn't WEMS, but I'm all, "Hey, what if there's more ammo in the next episodes?"
Conclusion: Yay writing! Every single story of yours I've read has made me feel good. I am very excited to see whatever it is you cook up next.
I know that feel. ALL. THE. TIME.
I know this feel.
I have written 1321 words that I haven't discarded since I last published. I feel your pain.
569624>>570338 Dumb feels.
569501 Ha, wow, thank you for the vote of confidence and the welcome back!
569502 The "feel good" aspect of your comment helped me decide what to write today: PinkieDash sappy moment time~ Also, relevant to 570688 interests hopefully! Now I just need to edit it and get some second opinions and possibly add a short groundwork laying scene to the beginning...
570838 Indeed.
570838
Yes it is :D
570878 It might be that cute tickling thing I mentioned in passing a couple times like a year ago, resurrected from the graaave. Also, nose squishing and kisses.

...
my body may not be ready
Obviously, that was just a warmup.
NOW WRITE REAL HORSE WORDS
570969 Sadly I am woefully unpracticed at the shippification, so your body is probably past ready and mildly bored. D:

Okay...
Autofellatio? Huh? *googles Autofellatio*

but you write Dash and Pinkie so well.
So many people forget that they still need to be Dash and Pinkie first.
Oh, I've been there--the not writing, the writing and then realizing I need to chuck out everything I've just written, etc. It is not a fun place to be. My sympathy.
