Yeah people. In addition to finishing up Chapter 6 of Love (And Other Things) in Prance and Chapter 8 of Crystals are Hard to Break, I am also writing/editing various stories on my Fanfiction.net and Wattpad accounts. With all this writing and with school starting in less than a month (plus my nephew is due Sept. 17th.) imma be a busy busy honeybee!! This is an advanced warning to all that my work productivity will be slowed because of this and IRL stuff like applying for

Do you like long, drawn-out puns? Do you like subjecting people to those puns? Do you like subjecting me to those puns? Do you like me scrutinizing those puns with a critical eye? Do you like lots of FimFic-famous authors scrutinizing those puns with a critical eye? Do you like possibly winning $100 for doing so and having your pun subjected to hundreds of other people in the process? How remarkably specific. And yet, it's your lucky day: Super Trampoline is hosting

IN WHICH I MULL OVER WRITING
My life right now is in sort of a minor limbo due to circumstances outside my control, and it's too cold to spend time outside, so I've been using the opportunity to write. Naturally, considering it's me, the going is slow. Regardless, I have two stories in the works, one of which (one-shot) is nearly ready to go if I can work up the courage to finish it, and the other (multi-chapter) is chugging along but I'm not sure about its pacing.

IN WHICH THE GOING GETS SLOW
Okay, I'll elaborate on that directly. But first, Laura Brehm's newest song!

Now that your day is automatically improved by Laura's existence, onto the meat of my post…

I was flamed and dissed on for my way of torturing Beast Boy for not getting back with Terra...

and one those was...

"You won't let Terra move on with her life, but I bet it would be a different story if Beast Boy wanted to move on with his life-- Hypocrite

The only Hypocrite is the sender.

Problem: gotta fix the rest of vernacular in the rest of the chapters. So far up to "Swimming Part 1" is in the correct vernacular. Will finish that soon boys and girls. The next chapter got a revamp because I have Leo being a bit different with his vernacular, but it'll be all right. Not to mention that the next chapter is very twisted. Poor Sophie.

He takes a deep breath. "Me guessin' ya wanna be findin' more about ya sis?"

I have three stories in progress, all of which I want to finish, but I just can't. My brain whirls with ideas of where to go with them, but the second I sit down to just get them all down, nothing happens. Or I decide to do something else. Or it's all crap and I ask myself why I wasted my time.

I hate it. It's not block. I've dealt with block. This is something else and I don't know what it is.

Hiya Everypony! Hope that you've been having a good summer, and haven't had too much trouble staying cool; its scorching in a lot of places, including down here in Cowboy-Central.

Edit 4/4: so... 6 hours of sleep and a day later, I... kinda feel embarrassed for posting this. For those of you that said nice things, thank you. Um, I do appreciate the thought and I do actually try to sound grateful. I just... really don't do well. So... thank you for listening.

So today is kind of a weird day for me. Which means it was the date at which I was dragged screaming from the void and forced to deal with this planet.

Hey everypony! Back with my daily blog!

Anyway, I was thinking, "what should I blog about?" And then I was poking through my account and realized I forgot to put my newest story in my Completed Stories bookshelf. So I went to my story page and did that. But while I was there, I decided on what I should blog about.

What kind of stories would you guys like to hear?

NO clop. Absolutely not. I'm sorry. I also don't really do human or EQG.

this... this was an adventure. (warning! spoilers for story discussed)

according to the file data i first started this thing around the end of June, so like the very start of my summer what with my spring courses and all. kind of fitting in retrospect how a project i began with the start of this season ended with it.

Hiya! The thread I provided in my last blog post, where folks may suggest prompts or story ideas for my list of projects, was accidentally archived on the mysmall.horse forums. That issue has been fixed, so now registered users may comment on it. In the future, I shall also provide work-in-progress entries, and use the thread to post unfinished drafts for proofreading or critique. Any and all assistance is welcome!

So I've been thinking very recently.
(Always a dangerous thing to do because of ideas.)
If a story is a retelling of a pony's life (in any POV) if it surpasses 40,000 words would that make it an adventure?
After all, the more detail there is the harder it gets to say that it's JUST Slice of Life and/or Adventure.

Just completed another milestone for my most ambitious story. It's something I started writing in July of last year (I have a lot of unfinished old stories), and have been working on and off but fairly steadily every since. I hadn't intended to talk about it, but having just reached one of my milestones, I though it sounded like a good idea to keep some sort of record of the progress I'm making on it. Maybe that will ensure that I actually finish it, unlike a lot of other crap sitting around

Because I went and posted an old Shadowrun story on Google Docs just to share with everyone precisely how bad I used to be.

The Drunken Master Hot Dog Adventures (circa 2001~2008)

Here's a special behind-the-scenes look at my writing process! This episode, we're covering the final chapter of The Supervillain Flu, as well as some deleted scenes from earlier chapters.

For those who are interested, the following are my unedited "jot these down so I remember later what I want to write" notes on the chapter (I suggest not reading this until after you've read the chapter, as it does not just contain spoilers, it is spoilers distilled):

So I noticed that a smattering of people are actually following me, which is cool! You are all welcome and I appreciate you being here. :D Anyhoo, on the matter of my current fic, "River Babble's Adventures in Ponyville!", I figured I'd give you an update. I thought I had Chapter 2 written, but halfway through Chapter 3, I realized that this story was not going anywhere INTERESTING. I mean, my end game was fun, but the journey was boring. So I went back and have been making changes to Chapter

Betrayal. Wicked short horror story about marriage, family and cannibalism. Read it here.

Well, typical, I have thought a lot about it, and I can't decide on the plot line.

Not for the lack of ideas, but the lack of too many ideas. I'm not sure which plot I should choose as I feel they would all be interesting.

But this is where you come in!
