I am running from something I'm becoming, but becoming one means I'm running from all I am.
Welp, the Week of Derpy is over—and I’m pretty happy. Nothing got very “popular,” and certainly nothing hit the feature box, but I’m still happy. I did what I set out to do, and that always gives one satisfaction.
Things have been set in motion that cannot be unmotioned.
First story submitted.

Well, hello there, everyone! Long time, no see. How’ve you been? Me, I’m quite well, if a bit busy. Unfortunately, I’ve also had a terrible case of Writer’s Block, which is why I have been doing next to nothing on the site. I come on, read a bit, catch up on some updates, add a few things to my read later list that I’ll never get to, maybe edit someone else’s horsewords, work in the queue for the Royal Guard—you know, distractions.
Hi. Contrary to popular belief, I haven't died.
Thing is, though, I haven't had much free time for pone lately, so my writing has been down to an all-time low.
I did manage to write something. though. Just a little story to keep my fingers from getting stale. I sent it in for approval. Shouldn't be too long now, I think. I've been out of the writing loop for so long now that I don't even know what the average acceptance time is.
I’ve been kinda silent for a while, so I figured it would be a good idea to give you guys an update on things.
Facility 0013—Chapter progress halted by Writer’s Block.
Fluttershy’s One True Love (Is a Minigun)—Chapter progress halted by Writer’s Block.
Seven assorted stories starring Derpy—Progress crashed to a screeching stop and smashed into the wall of impasse know as the grievance of all writers: Writer’s Block.
So, to start off, I’m going to tell you guys I entered a contest.
“But, NightWolf289, have you ever done a contest before?” asks Generic User 38.
I’m so glad you asked, Generic User 38, and the answer is no. I have never tried writing for a contest before. But there’s always a first, right? I figured I’d try my hand at this whole “competition writing” thing. Get my “paws” wet, so to speak.
“True. Which contest is it?”

Two warnings before I begin. One, mildly disturbing images await. Two, I do not intend to guilt you into having a terrible day, nor am I criticizing those who have parties on Memorial Day.
Tomorrow is not a day of merriment. It is not a day of joy.
Though people can and do have fun, that is not the purpose of the day, and we can never forget the purpose.
We can’t forget that it is a day of reverence and respect.
