Why does it always feel like I'm losing a part of myself even when I'm losing something as simple as a flash drive?

I have no idea. It could be that the aforementioned flash drive contains two quarters worth of work from two classes before it was stolen, or it has the exact same weird emotional attachment as that one time when I lost a mechanical pencil I had managed to not lose for two years.

I plan on having a few characters from previous stories cameo in the current set of active stories, as well as characters in said active stories appearing in other active stories.

Here's a list of characters I currently have in mind for cameos.

Lisa and Samantha - (Pony-Me)
Zoey/Gadget, Ranell, and/or Delmar - (Lab Horse series)
Rusty and Jewel - (Remnants of Glory, The Day the World Exploded)

Just realized at like, 1:30 am that...

ORANGES RHYMES WITH LOZENGES.
ORANGE WITH LOZENGE, TOO.

I should probably sleep.

What are your theories on the feasibility of Equestria's existence according to the show's lore?

Would the historical events portrayed in the show really manage to snowball into what would later become Equestria, or is it just a pile of creative license?

Would it just be ponified vertical boxes doomed to forever bounce a ball to each other?
Would it just be the average game of (table) tennis?
Would it be in intricately-woven adventure diving deep into the technical aspects and history of the video game industry?

This is what happens when my homework overflows into my bedtime.

I certainly want to keep all rights to my own story, which means that I'll practically be ruling out every major publishing house there is.

I guess I'll self-publish, then. I can handle writing and editing myself, I can join some reviewing groups to get the thing proofread, maybe stir up some hype with Kickstarter and some marketing muscle, and partner up with a printing company to get the thing rolling into stores.

I'm still awake at 1 AM. I was bored, so I searched up the city I used to live in on wikipedia.

I used to live just a bit down the road from an IM Flash Technologies factory.

Turns out that same factory makes about 1 in every 14 flash memory chips in the world.

Also, the entirety of Utah's population is centered around Lehi, which I know from personal experience has been nicknamed "Silicon Slopes" to compete against California's Silicon Valley.

So yeah.

Just kidding. This blogs just about me talking about how I've now got a new habit of listening to music on my Bluetooth headphones for about an hour before actually sleeping every night because I lost my earbuds and so I listen to all my music at once.

Also, I still have no idea when and where I picked up the habit of randomly saying/shouting "meerkats".

...is the answer to the question I know you're having right at this moment, which is "Why is Leo blogging at two in the morning on a weekday?".

Also because I've been reading a lot of horsewords while I'm at my parent's house doing laundry because I failed to reload my charge card before my apartment's office closed and work tomorrow will require fresh duds.

I.....think the writing is good. However, my preferences for crossovers do not lend themselves into putting characters in the shoes of another...I am not a huge fan of having Twilight take Edward's job.

Haven't done one of these in a hot minute. Good to be back.

I've got this annoying as feeling where I've pretty much planned the whole story in my head, but I can't get the words to paper. It's less writer's block and more that I'm not satisfied with literally anything I've written. I get a few paragraphs in with some dialogue, a solid start to the chapter, but then I look at it and hate it all and in a fit of rage...

It's another dream sequence, but this time riddled with foreshadowing for what's to come.

It won't go up just yet though. I've found myself in the habit of doing the bulk of the writing late at night (Between 12: and 1:30 AM), and then doing the editing after school later on.

As a continuation of my last piece of dirty laundry, I figured I'd go into a little detail about my actual rating system. What I look for, what I don't like, and pretty much anything else you pretty, pretty people would need in order to cater to my whimsy. That's why you're here, right? To please me?

Whatever, sit back and take my words.

I'm sorry, guys. I lied to all of you. It is absolutely inexcusable, and I understand that now. It was a moment of poor foresight and irrational decision making. This breach of trust will take a long time to patch, with much efforts on either side. I will do everything in my power, with the help of some trusted appointed individuals, to bridge this gap that has been formed between us. There is nothing I'd like to do more than help you all in however you may need to reconcile with my mistakes. I
