So, it's NaPoWrMo right now, even though everybody knows that, and since I have a word count to meet, right now, it's about quantity, not quality. Sure, popular culture and every creative instinct you have makes you cringe at that, but I've learned that has its place in writing, too. Rough copies (do I get points for sneaking the blog series title in there?).

But, that's not exactly what this one's about, is it?

Well, well, well. Look what we have here, huh?

Some stats, anyone?:
End Week 2: Days 8-14
Drafts: Villains Chapter 6, Villains Chapter 7, Villains Chapter 8
Goal: 11,669
Total for Week 2: 10,362
Overall Goal: 23,338
Overall Total: 22,215
Debt: 1,307

Alright, alright, I know what you're thinking. What happened in week 2? Two very stressful days is what happened, and I had to let myself not hit the daily goal of 1667 two times so I could, you know, survive.

So, it's officially been 7 days! And I'm proud to say, I'm on track to finish the whole 50 k! Exclamation!!!

Somewhere along the line that became my goal instead of any of the ones on that little tiered system I had, because I figured out I could do it. 1,667 words a day is more manageable than I thought it would be, even with school.

Here's some stats for you:
End Week 1: Days 1-7
Drafts: The Cavalry, Villains Chapter 6
Goal: 11669
Total for Week 1: 11853
Extra: 184

That time of year again, huh? AWESOME! Time to shoot for the stars and burn up in the atmosphere, kiddies!

This'll be my second time round with National Pony Writing Month, and I guess everybody's first attempt at doing it in September. I wonder how it'll be with school ... I guess I don't have it the hardest. Any bronies out there who's in uni or college probably has it worse off than me.

You know what fiction is? Reality. Moments from our lives, the morals and trade secrets we learn, the way we value most characters (by how real they are), the realism in plot (plot-holes, holes in logic, are literary sins)- I can't believe I've never seen it before.

This is exactly why authors warn the people that theirs is a crazy, inhuman career.

What? What do you mean I have zero consistency in uploading chapters? What a ridiculous- Oh wait, yeah, that's me.

Sorry guys. I'm still learning how. But, you know what? Lesson learned. In fact:

Dear Princess Twilight,

I need to plot stories and their characters more thoroughly ahead of time. The next story I write will have a "pre-production" phase and actual, you know, release dates.

Your Faithful Fangirl,

Ugh.

Stupid poop-brain. Work, damn you! Yet again I'm faced with my inability to write fanfiction. Great. I'm da best rigtterr.

I'm still waiting for something beautiful to come out of me. Something I can be proud of, something that can really help people, or at least something they can briefly enjoy. Patience and practice can only promise so much without delivery. I'm honestly horrified that I'll never get there. I'm horrified with what that would mean I am ... I don't like what's left of me besides what I'm going to be. In fact, I hate it.

The long-awaited (by no one) chapter is finally published! This time around, it's the Diamond Dogs! Cute little buggers (but surprisingly hard to write for) ...

Chapter 5 shouldn't take too long, either, and so far no replies for that new editor, but I'm making do for now.

Happy reading,
Nutters

Ugh. This is terrible. July's almost done and I still haven't gotten chapter 4 back from my editor.

Alright, so here's how it's gonna go down. I'm gonna look for a new editor and edit the crappy version of chapter 4 I have in my documents myself while I wait. It's been far too long, and it's not fair to anyone to keep this going on. Expect chapter 4 before the weekend.

Also, those edits on chapters 1-3 will come as soon as I can make the time.
