Rarity, Octavia and Trixie are each artists. And they are all having a bit of trouble lately finding motivation for their work. They each must go on their own seperate journeys to find out what their art means to them.

Rarity is frustrated by a lack of originality in her designs, and longs for something to set her apart from the rest. Octavia is struggling to be heard in a large and loud musical community, and thinks she may have finally found her big break--that is, if she can put her best hoof forward when the pressure is on. Trixie, now a professional storyteller, has found moderate success, but is faltering now that she's struggling generating new material. With nopony to fall back on for help, she decides to pack up her belongings and go on a journey without a destination to find a story of her own.

This is an idea I came up with while I was struggling to find a place where I could give something of my own to the massive and amazing brony community. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I have to give, and whether it would even be worth it, given all the talent so much greater than mine that is already out there. I hope to use this story to explore what art means to me, and what it means to different people. It is really three seperate stories being told at the same time. If everything comes together the way that it's working in my head, all the stories will progress together simultaneously, but seperately. They start in about the same place, but they will branch off in different directions and end up in three different places.

This is my first story, and it's awfully ambitious, so if anypony finds this interesting enough to read and comment on, please tell me what I'm doing right and/or wrong, because I'm sure that there's plenty of both. Thanks for reading.

A fic about creation block? intresting.
I like it so far, but maybe tone down on the swearing? that is if you don't mind :twilightblush:
Other than that i'm faving this.

Behold, a fic that everyone who has ever written ANYTHING can relate to.

Well that was thoroughly depressing. Poor Vinyl.
