Twilight Sparkle being done with Discord: a Trilogy :P · 7:49am Nov 8th, 2015
In DiH news, still working on it for NaNo. Hit 15k yesterday and I'd say about 5k of that is stuff I can use.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Well, I have not been on here since before the contest end it, so it probably does not surprise you that I did not win. Perhaps you might be sympathetic and be bummed for me. For that I would thank you because I am bummed too. I did however, amass over $2,000 for the charity and was complemented by the site the contest was hosted on for one of the videos I made. Same video was apparently also seen by the Rick and Morty team. (Which is awesome)
thanks to Blue, a certain individual has breached the Fourth Wall.
Have any of you ever heard of the old German legend of a man named Faust and his deal with a demon, along with its poor consequences that followed it like a lame pup? It is one of my favorite tales, and I plan to adapt it... with an interesting twist to it.
Well, seeing as this entire little series of mine has taken a good amount of time for me to actually finish (nearly seven years, what!?) I think I can say with a good amount of confidence that I have improved as a writer since that ship-feels-fueled night back in 2011 just after Return of Harmony part II aired, when I wrote the first scene that would become part of the first chapter of aPS.
And as is my yearly tradition, I'm working on both my pony stuff and my original works. I am currently at a little over 11k words, hoping to get to 12k tonight. This will - with hope - get me to a point where ch 9 will be ready to go, because as I've mentioned ch. 10 is ready to go, but I should think that y'all might like to read them in order.
Just bear in mind that there might be an eensy bit more of a wait after those two go up.
I'm sorry for the gap in content. I'll be honest, it's been harder to get used to my new living situation than I thought. Not having my friends and my close family nearby has been... hard. Been dealing with problems at my new job, as well as a bit of a relapse on some old vices. Tried plowing through it with a can do attitude, but it's just been a lot. I feel creatively dry.
So. I've come to a conclusion. My stories will never be popular on this site. My most recent story was an experiment on a duel story, that is two stories told with one set of words. Depending on how you read it changes which story you are reading.
Was it a perfect story?
No.
Was it a decent story?
I'd say it was decent and when people checked it out they liked it.
Again it's the solo way again, and I'm not as happy with it as I could be, but here y'all are. Another chapter for you to enjoy (I hope).
Maybe I should call them S4? Sx4?
Anyway, here is a dumb and completely non-canon scene I wrote when I needed to write words and couldn't think of what to do next during NaNo '13.
The moral of the story? Keep writing, I guess. Even when all you can come up with is silly stuff like this. When all else fails, just copy a scene from a movie or tv show :P

*WARNING*: This as-promised post is a long discussion about personal issues, phobias, mental health, and trauma. Feel free to skip this one if you’re not up for that! :)
I have thought long and hard about writing this post, and now I finally get to. I knew it would be hard but… not this hard. So, here we go:
Fun fact: I have written about 5,200 words of my NaNo stories this year on my phone. :P

It's nice to know y'all still enjoy my Sympathy Series. I was kinda worried since I got so many dislikes right off the bat, and I'm not used to that. Iunno if I was just lucky back when I posted aPS and DD or if the fandom's just changed in the intrevening time, but I don't remember getting any downvotes for them until they'd been out for at least a week.
It's shit. It's really just shit.
And of course, I'm sure my stupid escapades of disobeying my parents is what's causing this because God isn't happy with me, and so now my parents are talking to my sister about how she shouldn't be proud of her goodness because it's vain and it'll condemn her and I'm getting fucking sick of it, why am I always the catalyst?
I normally wouldn't want to go and do this, but stupidity of this magnitude needs to be shared. I also want to archive this somewhere before this guy goes and tries to delete his comments. I don't want people to dogpile on him, and as such I will only give out the link when asked. I'm an asshole, I don't try to deny it, But I don't need backup, and I can easily hold my own on the internet. It's just that you only meet a person this stupid once in your lifetime. This is going to be a long post,
Hey y'all, I just wanna keep you in the loop. My pal/collaborator who is also my main PR has been super busy lately and not been able to look at my in-progress chapters. I've been doing my best to keep a steady dedication to just sitting down and writing, and also to being a better partner in my joint ventures with him.
A lovely start to a holiday season. I woke up waaaaay too early for my tastes and had a stomachache to boot. On top of that, nose is stuffed up. A friend of mine, Layton put it best, the season that keeps on giving. The sleep medication I take? It's beginning to fail on me, and I wake up at way too early hours, even when I take it an hour before I go to bed. Needless to say, this is not desirable. I think it's time to make a doctor's appointment come January. Swallow my pride, and all that.
Hey y'all,
Well I've got a second bit from my old drafts for you to look at. This time concerning Applejack. There's one medium-sized spoiler for the later chapters of DiH, just so you know.
Hey y'all,
As I am writing the latter half of DiH (which you might be pleased to hear may have more chapters than previously advertised) I wanted to pose a few questions to those of you that feel like answering. It might help me to make DiH even better than I hope it will be:
1) In your opinion, are there any promises made or questions asked so far in DiH (or in my previous works) that you feel haven't been addressed/fulfilled/answered? If so, what are they?
Okay y'all, ch. 6 is ready to go (at least I think so). It was still done the solo way, so I hope I didn't overlook anything.
My question to you is: Were I to post it tonight, would you be willing to wait until all the rest of the chapters are done before seeing the rest? I still have about two months to get them done until my deadline of Oct.6, but I'd love to have them all ready to go so I could release them more regularly for y'all.
