So I finally finished the rough draft of Chapter 4 of Ballad of the Dawn. Honestly, it was a hard chapter to get through because, A) I needed to get someplace in the story in that chapter and B) there's a lot of character introductions to pad out their arrival to the story destination. It took me almost all month to finish the dang thing, and I'm finally where I want to be.

I am sick.

Like this, except actually.

I have been unable to do anything over the past week because of this illness. It's just a chest cold, but holy bucking road apples.

It's like Facebook all over again.

Hi All,

If anyone is interested, I found a Macro that produces a list of all the words used in a document and the number of times it is used.

Very useful for finding crutch words and phrases which are overused

For example the list for Why Sassy Saddles is below.
Some interesting words to note:

• There are 5978 unique words.
• 'Pussy' is said 102 times.
• 'Felt' is said 233 times.
• 'Sensitive' is said 62 times.

Word Frequency:

If schools are telling their students not to watch 13 Reasons Why, then why are they making them read Romeo and Juliet and make a book report about it? Doesn't it romanticize suicide as well?

WHY THOUGH

WHY DID IT HAVE TO COME TO THIS

I don't think there's legitimately any way I can be positive about this. As most of you know I'm in the USA, and also as most of you know we elected a LIVING MEME into office last night.

I would say don't panic, but given that this is Donald Trump we're talking about here, I feel like it's justified. We're fucked.

I had a dream last night, one in which I was randomly passing by a really fancy house where a couple was having a domestic disturbance outside. The psychotic looking wife was just screaming at her shell-shocked looking husband. I muttered something under my breath as I was passing, and she somehow heard me; she got this crazy look in her eye and whipped out a handgun and shot me several times, intentionally missing anything vital. She had her husband drag me into the house and dress and clean

I've decided to broach this topic for the first time since signing up to this site over a year ago.

I've been writing for almost as long as I can remember, deciding fairly early on that writing is what I want to do. That really hasn't changed much, and it's been years since I came to that realization.

My experience with the blogging function of this website, as limited as it is this being my second blog entry, has driven me to scream into the void a question which shall fall from my lips with clanging echoes.

Who is reading these things?

My friends and Mother have expressed surprise at the volume of writing I've been doing without being paid. My current rate over the last 80 days is 2 1/2 novels per year.

An author wants to be paid. Words completed equal money. It allow us to make a living doing something we love.

IN WHICH DEATH
A little less than 24 hours ago, I got word from my office manager that my late dad's beloved dog had passed suddenly. Here's a sad song.

Golden Retriever. 5 years old. Probably a snake-bite. RIP, my buddy.

So, all my work is pretty much on hold until my creativity comes back. On top of that, I'm moving into a new place, so I will have next to no time to work on anything at all storywise.

I apologize, but I REALLY need to move to the new place. Like, it bad here. Unhealthy bad. My shower 'drains' at a rate of 1" of water every 5 hours.

So I just finished watching the last episode of FIM however I went searching for information on G5 and I found a blog that a journalist has written and i read that the final brony con will be this year ever and that the Story boarders, Animators and Artists have all but abandoned the show becoming bored of the series and so if they make a gen 5 the same story is unlikely going to gain momentum so in a way the fandom is dying out, so we should pay our respects to our favorite pass time finally

A bunch of 'furry' themed anime came out in the past year, apparently jumping on to the popularity of the manga "Beastars" and it's first season of anime. As with most quickly-made copycats, the non-Beastars were lackluster.

One, however, garnered enough interest to draw fans in.. and then quickly disappoint most of them. It did at least inspire me to do.... this.

Producer Guy: So, you have a fetish for me?

Writer Guy: A wha-

Producer Guy: An anime! That's what I meant.

Seeing as I'm unable to continue writing fanfiction for this site - not necessarily from lack of want, but because I haven't proven to be a very good author on this site, and readers always seem to want to read something else - I might as well work on something else. Sorry to those of you who wanted to see the continuation of Hawkeye Delicious and Terminus, the creation of Markiplier Saves Equestria, and other stupid cringeworthy ideas I had for stories; it looks like those

Okay, I know it's pretty early for another blog post but I am dreadfully curious on something... Why did anyone like The Guardian!? Just re-reading through it made me hate my own writing, it was subpar at best! I don't expect an answer or anyone to respond, but I am just so confused! The writing is sloppy and has so many errors! The story is so fast paced I felt like I was getting whiplash from the relationship progression of the characters. Is there an opposite to tooting
