Again with no progress.
Crap just seems to accumulate at work and I've worked two 10 hour days so far, and I get home late and exhausted. It's been like this for two weeks.
So the National Pony Writing Month is (somewhat) drawing to a close and after three straight days of writing, my brain is fried. However, I wasn't too keen on twiddling my thumbs while playing Fallout: Classic, so I drew up the final teaser and cover for our NaPoWriMo Entry, Equestrian Redemption. You can catch it below.
Seriously. That Animated Short was awesome. And the presentation during the opening ceremonies? Beyond epic. The moment the “Global Launch” retrospective glitched, I knew what they were doing and basically had this expression.
So, it’s been a hell of a week. A lot of things happened this week. But I’m not here to talk about that particular thing. I’m not here to talk about politics. I’m here to talk about writing and about ponies.
They’re much happier topics anyway.
Yup. It's been a busy weekend.
First... a new, tender short story starring my favorite couple, Sunny and Twi!
Second, the new chapter of How Not to Use Your Royal Prerogative is up!
Well, tomorrow’s going to be interesting. In fact, the entire upcoming month is going to be interesting. Just like October was pretty damn interesting! Interesting, interesting, interesting.
It’s also going to be brutal. So prepare yourself.
NaNoWriMo is coming.
But before that, let’s talk about word counts!
Words cannot describe how exhausted I am. This has easily been the most brutal NaNoWriMo I’ve ever done. Ironically, it hasn’t been because of my word count goals.
It’s been everything else.
But, it is the end of National Novel Writing Month, right? So we should probably talk word counts.
At 10PM Pacific, November 20, 2017, I claimed my ninth National Novel Writing Month victory.
Here is just a little update about my donation page that I set up recently.
I am on FIMFiction.net for 10 years now. The anniversary was actually on Wednesday, July 19th, but the release of "The Sky is Gone: Acceptance" on my Patreon account made me stay up long the day before and I had to catch up on sleep, so I could not write this blog entry there. But I want to write about what happened during these 10 years.
Here is a retrospective of 10 Years on FIMFiction.net:
Remember how I said that I have to read my fanfictions again to find out what I'm doing wrote lately, a short time ago?
I did this now and could figure out where I'm suddenly lacking.
To make it short, my descriptions have become less detailed and lengthy and my choice of words less creative, to an amount where some of my latest fics read boring in some parts.
Tons and tons of coffee..... "What does this mean?" you might ask now, but don't worry, I can give you the answer on this question about that crazy sentence up there!
