I guess I never really got rid of that author’s-notes bug after writing The Children of Planet Earth. Curse you, Admiral Biscuit!
Chapter 10 is in the pipeline, it's just taking longer then I would like due to general life issues (the fact that I live/work in the Seattle area not withstanding). It will be done soon, and hopefully I can start picking up the pace.
Also, to the best of my research, all the facts presented in this story are actual facts. Well, except that it turns out that the Alliance, NE McDonald’s isn’t a participating restaurant.
I have a few notes I wanted to share—things that I felt were important enough to share, because I believe in them, and I believe other writers might find them interesting. These are a bit disorganized, but I’ve tried to organize them in terms of content. I’ll try not to speak too long. Your time is valuable, as is mine.
First off, thanks to AShadowOfCygnus, MSPiper, and metallusionismagic. for pre-reading!
And the top of the box for Passing the Time, too (as of this writing, anyway).
Have I ever mentioned it's really weird whenever one of my stories actually does well? Like I never think I'm actually particularly good, so I figure it'll get a couple hundred views at best and then be forgotten.
People say to quit while you're ahead, and I'd say 120 upvotes to no downvotes is ahead.
That might change on the next chapter.
In the end, what this story is really about is my depressive episode that started during the coronavirus lockdown/general feeling of the world being on fire, and not being free of it yet despite being able to live a mostly-normal life these days. I somehow did not realize this connection until I was most of the way through writing it.
So I promised "Getting Attention" first, and that is coming along, when I'm not stuck on Zecora's dialogue, how to transition a scene, or how to write something other than dialogue when I have four main characters; but lately "Matrimony" has been stuck in my head instead, so I've been slamming that one out. I went ahead and uploaded the prelude chapter, which quickly became my poorest-rated story yet. Yeah, worse than the peaches thing.
Okay, first, somehow I've been in the feature box for two days courtesy a stupid story I wrote about a talking muffin in which nothing actually happens. Clearly, the feature box is broken.
That or I just don't understand you people.
Now that we got all the vocabulary and tech out of the way in the last blog post, here's some more behind-the-scenes stuff for Spring Comes to Snow Hill.
So, while trying to write for my NaNoWriMo project, I struggle to get even 500 words a day (one-third of the target, for anyone who's counting).
When the latest meme sparked by Obs gives me a stupid idea, I can write 2100 words in under two hours, while giggling at my own stupid jokes the entire time.
Attention deficit disorder strikes ag—oh, hey, a bit!
So, I had three different ideas for the Most Dangerous Game contest that Obs has been running, and I eventually went with my second choice. I'm not terribly happy with it, because it just turned into mediocre sadfic, but that's all I could manage when I wound up with only about five hours total to write it. I didn't even get to throw it to my usual prereaders
Got a Christmas present for y'all!
I'm sure some of you remember Silver Glow mentioning the Hearth's Warming where a feral storm came in, and the Merry Ambree sailed out to make sure that the pegasi got to eat a Hearth's Warming feast.
