So apparently, while I was editing yesterday, the chapter I was working on somehow got published.
A half-written, broken worded, and foot-notes-scattered-about chapter somehow got published. I swear I don't remember clicking the "publish" or even seeing it on the front page for recently updated stories.
And here I thought things couldn't get more embarrassing with how long I'm taking.
I'm back! No longer diseased! Well, not fully. And still with a recovering knee injury, but those things take time, or so I'm told by the doctors. But I am well enough to write write write at last! My mind is clear! And so after a long, unwelcome delay, we're finally getting back to a follow-up post I alluded to some time ago.
Yeah, sorry, guys. I've been quiet for the last few weeks. I've been trying to write but everything that I've done so far is complete crap. I've had three false starts on Stealing Las Pegasus, which is making me think that it may not be time to write that story yet. I'm gonna kick a few things around over the next few days and see if anything clicks.
I just decided to severely cut the scope of the original novel I've been working on, and... man, I've been so stressed all summer, and it LIFTED, just like this.
This weekend I'll be featured on the Barcast. For those who have never heard of them before, it's a group running podcast where they interview pony related people. From fanfiction writers, 4Chan Cup team managers for the /MLP/ team, to Voice Actors from the show.
They have a few places you can check them out on, the live stream being on Twitch before it's uploaded to YouTube and a few other platforms.
The Cheek's in the Mail by Rambling Writer
Don't know why but after reading this story. I figure there could be a disgruntled chapter for this. But it's too short for my standards. So, I'll post here.
Dear Pinkie Pie,
Quit vandalizing my history books during your drug-infused stupor!
So. You may be wondering: Who's this guy writing this blog about Remnants? Well. In case you haven't read the bottom of the description, I was the editor for Qrow on Remnants. Keyword, was. Why? Well, lets let Qrow explain more.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
Done? Understand? Okay good.
Whoooly gosh. I thought the dry spell we have been having would end sometime but I didn't imagine it would be with a whole ocean.
That is right, it is the Bay Banquet Series.
This week we see the first part of this fin. Eahm... I mean tail. Tale. Geeze this place is getting to me~.
And you can expect the next one coming out on the next Filthy Friday.
but the first one you can read right now.
Jesus christ... I don't even know where to begin..
Holy crap, that was some of the sloppiest schlock hack writing the show has ever vomited forth.
Screw all continuity, laziest Deus Ex ever... my god. Thank goodness the show is ending.
I'm just going to list the most glaring things that were utterly wrong, and a few of the lacking developments. I sat in shock at the diarrhea of writing I'd just seen splashed upon the screen for a time.
Wow. Where did this month go? It seems like just yesterday it was the end of October, and now … Yikes. It feels like things just sped by.
Emergency update: Got my right arm smashed at work Saturday night. Seven stitches. All is recovering well, but can't type well and am restricted from hand use until at least Wednesday. Further updates will come when I can give them.
I volunteered to help CosmicAlchemist24 with his Story Twilight's Realm-Advanced Generation, where Twilight goes to the Pokemon World after her friends and Celestia abandon her over her suspicions, just as Ash begins his journey in Hoenn. And suffice to say, my help was accepted.
I'm now a co-writer with another author!
I'm pretty happy right now.
So, check out the story if you have time. It's pretty good.
Hello readers! It’s Tuesday, which if you’re a long-time reader of this site, you know is a little unusual for a Being a Better Writer post, usually only happening on the occurrences of a holiday or a work shift taking me away on Monday.
Yesterday was the former. I hope you all made the most of it!
Well hello, FiMfiction. Are people still here? Or has the fandom dried up and blown away yet? People kept on saying that would happen. Or something.
While it took a long time to come out, the EqD WTG compilation of Castle Sweet Castle themed stories came out at 8PM June 20th.
It has been over two weeks since I cracked a 100 followers. Woohoo! I have to say it: "Thank you. Thank you, everypony!"
This is going to be a short one today. Two reasons. One is that I’m still sick, and don’t feel great. The second is that I’ve also got a work shift today I have to be at in a little over an hour. It’s going to be an interesting day.
