Writing Again · 1:17am Mar 5th, 2022
I've moved in every random thing I had to from where I was living previously and I'm much more balanced in what I can do writing wise. I had to write stuff that wasn't as labor intensive for the last six months to not have some sort of stress related mess happen.
Doesn't mean I never looked at the chapter I had had wanted to start writing back in December, November whenever I last updated.
Last two years have been rather stressful- haven't really gone outside much if at all for the last two years due to all the crazy stuff in the world so that's why, partially, I just couldn't write a lot with this story. Maybe it was the planning, or the subject material, or just me needing a break from it, but it took a lot out of me to write those last few chapters, before the major break.
But with G5 taking more time to come out and, honestly, me getting out of a writing block because I had very little clue on how to make a certain few characters actually work in this next part, I was mentally stuck in where I wanted to go.
I do have the big plot points all planned out (I mean if I had to boil it down to the purest essence of what it is- its just the MLP movie lol with extra stuff) but yeah the hang up with the small weeds that made me go a little stir crazy with how much I wanted to write but was unable to get over that last hurdle, that has solved itself due to me just one day coming up with the most deceptively simple plan.
And don't worry this isn't "guys, I'm going to write this starting tomorrow." This is more "I started writing a week ago and am already a third of the way to an update" kind of post.
It is actually weirdly easy to come back and start writing again in this little story- though I chalk that up to me just getting rather good at seeing the scenes play out visually. It's like I never left. Which kind of makes me feel crummy since I probably could have released something. Wouldn't have been "good" or "up to any sort of standard" I had arbitrarily set for myself. But here I am.
No exact date to a new update, maybe in this month, maybe the next. Leaning more towards this month cause I think I can't physically do more than ten k words lol. Its just a major pain to edit. At least I have something to space out my writing sessions. No exhausting 2k chunks of effort and then a week without writing.
