So, in my last blogs I talked about recovering from the hardest burnout I've ever gone through, a debt accrued over seven years. I realized most of that really was the drive to monetize my work. It shaped everything I had been thinking about my writing for years, now, in subtle and unsubtle ways. Becoming financially stable through other means let me massage all those knots and work something out.
That's right, I still exist! For those of you wondering why I disappeared and didn't post anything this past weekend, the answer is simple: I burned out. I realized over the weekend that, in my efforts to maintain a once-a-week update under my current available time, I was running myself ragged and producing a lower-quality product. So I decided it was time to take a break from FIMFiction entirely and just relax for a while. I bought me a new game and have been devoting the past few days to
I am going to to be working on an MLP fanfic of "The Swan Princess." It will be the same name and I'm in need of a really cool cover art for it.
Here are the characters:
Princess Odette ~ Princess Cadence
Prince Dereck ~ Shining Armor
Queen Ulberta (Dereck's Mother) ~ Princess Celestia
King William (Odette's Father) ~ (Good) King Sombra
Life is full of ups and downs, and this is what its actual taste looks like. A dish without a single fleck of spice tastes subtle. Look at your past, and seek some big plan. Did it go smoothly without a single hinch? Not possible! Now think how your home shifting in Pune plan goes straight.

The stories I write, I write for me, but I always hope that someone else will like them, maybe relate to them in some way. I write what I do because it brings me joy and makes me happy, but to know others love it too is such a huge bonus. It makes me feel like all of my hard work is worth it. I appreciate that a lot.
