Did you know that I have no idea what I'm doing? Like, seriously, if you were to ask me how to write a story, I couldn't really tell you. I can't recite facts about story structure or mechanics or many tips for characterization. I can't explain how to write. I probably make for a terrible editor, aside from hunting for plot holes. I only ever took a creative writing class for a couple weeks before I dropped out of high school the second time (don't ask). I still wrote stuff a lot, I just had

After I publish Chapter X on FireStarter I have decided that i want to...

Have a look at some other ideas.

What, did you think I was about to say I'd cancel it? I'll do that at the climax of the story, like all the other authors.

Anyway, I'm going to be focusing on other ideas I've had. One of which is a HiE clop.

The other two are HiE's because I have no originality.

That's all I really have to say.

When I started out writing Friendship is Manic, I fully intended to delve into the saucier aspects of the premise as soon as the time came. While sauciness to some degree is certainly in store sooner or later, the more I've written it and played with the ideas and concepts in my head, the less certain I am of just how hardcore some of those saucy elements will be. As in, I'm not sure if I actually can write decent porn-ish

I'm bored, so, a vague, rambling update, featuring mental health(tm), and horsewords!

First off, I hope y'all are doing well. Like, for real. Compassion is one of those things I overthink as being sarcastic or overdue -- especially in a blog post -- but yeah. claptrap voicePooOoooooOooosiTivitY!

Ok, So I have been gone a while, hot a job and blah blah blah, real life bullshit, blah blah blah....

Long story short. There will be an over haul on stories like a 'pet to a princess' if you want me to keep the old versions online, please message me and tell me, and if not They will be removed when the updated version comes out.

On top of that there will be more keen stories, however a more clear timeline will be uploaded.

Alright, so of recent, I have made several new chapters since the last comment on the book. And currently due to my lack of followers or experience, the book and my writing hang partially in the balance of you guys (my audience), and because of the lack of comments of recent I am lacking in fan feedback relating to the book which I so desperately need due to my lack of significant experience besides my book on Wattpad called 'soviet hellscape'. So all I request is criticism in the form of

Why hello darlings! Yes everything is fine why do you ask?

I've written words on both my novel ideas, and I've edited a little of my original novel. And.

Oh.

My.

Harmony.

Novels are fucking hard.

Short stories and novellas so efficient! Set a character's goals and move them forward. Pummel them with obstacles until their eyeballs bleed. They persist because they are a plucky type, quasi-happy ending, yay!

Smolder: *on the stage in the auditorium playing a piano* So... I just wrote this song. It was out of a little frustration, but, I hope you guys like it.

When she starts playing:

Gallus: *falls over from laughing*

Silverstream: *smiles despite not knowing what's going on)

Sandbar: *ded*

Yona: *chuckling under her breath*

Ocellus: *shrinks down behind her seat*

I'm bringing 'fixing the balance' out of hiatus, screw it! I might have very little opportunities to write it compared to while I'm at college, but with the possibility of incorporating it into a crossover with another writers story (which I'm helping reboot), there's plenty of reason to bring it back out. Now, where was I up to?

(Gets about half-way through the fic before throwing up violently)

Who the hell is this writer? I can do much better than this!

To those who have enjoyed my stories, I come bearing news. Some good, some bad. Depends on who you ask.

The bad news first:

My incomplete stories are going into haitus for an indefinite period of time. If you caught some of my early blog posts about my real-life status, you probably understand why. Since returning to this site, I have since gotten a more demanding day-job that takes up almost every single one of my days. Full-time with nearly guaranteed overtime.

In today's digital age, our smartphones have become an integral part of our lives. We rely on them for communication, accessing personal information, banking, and much more. However, with the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals, the risk of our phones being hacked has also risen. If you suspect that your phone has been compromised, it is crucial to take immediate action to protect your data and secure your device. A

So, y'know how I've been spending time watching Netflix and generally unwinding in my freetime instead of writing?

Yeah, that's given me quite a bit of time to think as well, which led me to both the set of story ideas I pitched earlier on, and just some general pondering of what I'll even do with my stories in the future. Heck, I'm still wondering what I'll do with my life in the future.

Nope, still not dead. I'm only rewriting drafts over and over again because I can't seem to do shit right as much as I used to.
But! One of the things I've working on is opening lines!
Seriously, a good opening line for a story can help you an awful lot. A different start sets you to write a different paragraph than the one you intended, sooo you got a chain reaction from there. The typical 'take a look at things from another pov' but for writing.
