uniquecorn's Enlightenment · 11:04am Jul 31st, 2022
Okay, I know this is my first blog, but this is to enlighten what I'm doing with my life.
I do have story plans, the problem is time optimisation. More specifically, I couldn't keep up with time and time flies faster than my production. I think my Mario crossover stories gave me more headaches than the others, but it feels so good when I complete a chapter. I don't know if I should just continue or cancel them. I did give myself the challenge to complete a story before the next year which stressed me a little bit.
Sometimes I wonder if it would be better if I watched MLP: FiM earlier than 2019 because I'm kinda missing out on the events, not that I'd be in the events since I don't have access to pony conventions. Even though I know I'm still young, I want to fit into the community early.
By the way, I'm not sure if I want to give away my plans for my future stories to the world. When the time comes, I'll consider it, maybe, I don't know.
Why do I write like how I write? Well, I don't have 3 reasons, I have 5. From consistent to arbitrary, 1. I like to squeeze in alliterations and assonances, 2. Do you like jokes and references?, 3. I like to squeeze in rhymes, 4. Synonyms are magic, or should I say "poecilonyms are numinous" and 5. I stress about simplifying a chapter. Something tells me the last reason is an issue.
I hesitate to find assistance because first, I don't know how to and, well, I'm embarrassed to admit I worry about what they'll write if I did. Also, I'm not sure if I'm prepared to know someone new, I'm no stranger to strangers, you know? I know there's a group of helper authors, but like, what do I know about them?
So what do you think? I'm afraid to ask, but if anyone can leave a hint on one of the points above, that would be nice. Perhaps, I should hypothetically cancel making crossover stories, or tell me to stop worrying about the word count, or is there someone who can volunteer to be a helper? I'm looking for a response or suggestion here. Anyway, the moment this post goes public, I have signed off for now.
