I don't think we need to wait for others to take a risk. When opportunity approaches, we should be the first to take it. After all, you have to take the plunge to know if you can fly or not.
This is what Note Book has told herself her entire life. She heard it once from her father and decided to live by it. Granted, it's gotten her into trouble, but she never went against the logic of it. But she's starting to doubt it as she moves to Ponyville to make a living as a pegasus author. Is she in over her head? Or will she make it?
((This story is a spin off to the Welcome to Ponyville! game with my own twist. Teen for crude humor and situations not appropriate for children. It pretty much features everyone, so I kept it short.))
