Cool announcement: I was in a writer's workshop class and one of my fellow writers asked if I would like to share a story as part of Texas Public Radio's "Worth Repeating." The goal of this program is to find and share stories across San Antonio by collecting seven storytellers and having seven-minute monologues. She heard about my fanfictions and wanted to know how I got into writing, so I prepared a speech (which I would like to have

I recently took a test from the African Wild Life Foundation to discover my African Spirit Animal. It was a short test that only took a minute or two. I answered a few questions and found out my spirit animal.

Apparently, it's a black rhino. At first, I thought it was silly but turns out we're more alike than I realized.
1. We both like eating vegetables. The black rhino is a herbivore and I've always liked eating veggies and fruit.

So, I went through my old files and realized that at some point I started writing an epilogue for "The Measure of a Dragon." Sad to say, I can't for the life of me remember what I was going to write. Okay, that's a lie. I think I was going to imply Silver Stone's parents were not so dead, but I'm not sure where or how to continue this. I don't think I have it in me to finish it or make a sequel. I just want to explore other stories (Plus a lot of recent MLP episodes upset this story's cannon).

I wrote a fairy tale. I used a story someone told me, gave it a moral, and fit it to something called Propp's 31 functions. I added it to my "Spike's Poem Anthology" so you could read it again there. It's not really MLP but I still wanted to share it so, here you go:

Yesterday, I received my 100th follower. That's right, after 2 years writing MLP fanfics I got 100 followers who think my works are worthwhile! I can't begin to describe how happy this makes me. Before I started writing, I went through an emotionally trying time, when I wasn't sure I wanted to live and didn't see the point of my life, but thanks to FimFiction and this Fandom I rediscovered my passion for writing and know my life isn't a mistake. Hundreds of encouraging comments, likes, follows,

Hello, Zephyr Spark here. I'm still alive and writing in case you're wondering. I have roughly nine chapters of my newest story "Scaled Heights" written. Right now, I'm just going through some edits of the first three chapters which I intend to post sometime soon. The story has been edited by "The Fan Without a Face" and stars Spike.

Hello, this is Zephyr Spark. I decided to go ahead with a story I've had plans to write for a year now, but I'm having second thoughts about the title "Arrow Dragon." I don't think this title does this story concept justice.

The basic premise:
Rainbow Dash discovers Spike has the makings of a great archer to represent Ponyville in the next Equestrian Games and decides to train him, but conflicts between dragons and ponies could make his dream impossible.

Hello, this is Zephyr Spark. I have this idea. In fact, I've had it for a year now, outlined and ready to be written. The story is titled "Arrow Dragon" (because I'm not good with names) and has the following plot:

Hello, this is Zephyr Spark. As I've written more chapters of "Spike Meets Mimikyu," I've noticed that each chapter receives fewer and fewer comments. This made me worry that I have burned out my original audience who have grown bored of my long chapters and that I'm putting too much effort into a story that nobody cares about anymore. I'm sorry if I sound egotistical or selfish, but I would really like some feedback/encouragement. If you read this story or even plan to read it, please respond

Hello, this is Zephyr Spark. Bad news. I'm going somewhere without good internet connection for a week so I won't be uploading any new chapters any time soon. I'm also grappling with writers block, trying to decide how to build up to this climax. Right now, I'm struggling with too much exposition and partially regretting my decision for adding too many Pokémon. It's been hard to find motivation when I feel like I'm wearing down the patience of my audience, who just want more Mimikyu and Spike.
