//------------------------------// // Adding stuff for the requirenments // Story: Dealing with writers block // by Novalis14 //------------------------------// Inkspot hummed as she walked down the dirt streets of ponyville, while she could fly today felt like a day to take a stroll. She had just finished her story and was heading to the school house to submit it for printing in the shorts section. When she arrived in the basement she handed the story to featherweight and hummed while she waited for him to finish reading and give her the "thumbs up" so to speak. "Sorry this doesn't pass my inspection." Featherweight said tossing the story back to her. "What? why not?!" Inkspot said her feathers ruffling and her muzzle scrunching. "you write for the human fan section of the paper. This just seems like you wrote a story and added a few terms and names that go with humans. You need more" Inkspot huffed and stompped over a desk in the corner and began editing. Maybe if I add a few sentences with references in them. After a few moments she dropped the pencil and wiped her mouth. the pencils here always tasted horrible, it almost made her wish she was a unicorn. "Here" she sat and waited impatiently digging and the floor. "Nope not enough. You have one more try before I give up on this story" featherweight said handing her the folder. She wanted to wring his scrawny neck. Inkspot flew back home her happy mood gone. She avoided clouds and air traffic and was soon home, flying in through her window she threw the folder onto the desk and took a nice hot shower. The next day Inkspot sat back at the desk she looked at the story. She had been so jazzed about it, but now that pencil necked geek of a editor had torn out most of the fun. Now she just wanted to get this over with. She stared at the paper then got up and flew out her window. She flew to sugar cube corner and ordered a chocolate chip muffin watching as pinkie pie did... well pinkie stuff using her pinkie sense, apparent teleporting powers and speed to fill orders and cook goods. All of a sudden pinkie was beside Inkspot. "GAH!" "HI!" After inkspot recovered she scowled at the usually uplifting pony. "Having trouble with the moderation of a story huh Novalis." ..... Shut Up Pinkie I am tired and just want to get this done.... "Well you should stop being so grumpy. I don't think it'll help your cause that you basically called the moderator a pencil necked geek." ....Talk to inkspot so I can wrap this up...... "Okie-doki-loki!".... "SO inkspot having trouble with the editor?" "Can you go away I am trying to come up with a way to add more human to this story without wreaking it." "OH well why don't you add a second chapter where you describe the trouble your having with the moderation where you throw thinly veiled insults at your editor and have cliche 4th wall breaking jokes. Oh and you can use it as a vent system so everypony can see how moody you are at times" ......Stop looking at me pinkie. "Hey your the one writing this i am just here so you can try to make your venting look less pitiful." ..... "Hey your words not mine" Inkspot sat up and shoved her muffin into pinkies mouth. "num" .....anyway Inkspot stalked out and went back to her house As she sat down inkspot grabbed a pencil in her mouth and stared at the sheet of paper. What could she put in to make it more human. Oh "Novalis hummed as she scrolled down to the submit button......."
