My New Year's Resolution is to do some actual writing; Assuming other stuff don't get in the way. I got three doctors appointments in January alone! Yeesh!

Aside from health issues, I need to deal with procrastination and writer's blocks. Wish I had the self-discipline to write regularly. Would be awesome if I could write as well and as much as someone like Harry Turtledove and Stephan King.

I have more story ideas then I can write. I envy those who have the discipline to produce chapters of their stories on a regular basis.

After The Band I have a few ideas for stories.

Ben's Scrapbook will contain discarded story ideas and outlines of possible future ones. It would help if I wrote a few notes down, otherwise I lose a potential chapter or story. One chapter has a title, but nothing else. I know I had a fun idea, but now its completely vague.

I am now working on two stories, "The Band", and "The Warriors In Equestria"; Can you dig it?

"The Band" is constantly on my mind. I am stuck on the next chapter. I can visualize the scenes; But, it's getting the words up on the screen that is proving to be very challenging.

"The Warriors in Equestia" was conceived from a thread in Humans in Equestria group forum.

I have six future chapters written, in varies states; None of them anywhere near ready to be published. (Real Life and Writer's Block making writing a bit hard)

"The Great Game" is the next chapter; featuring Gilda and her fellow Griffins.
"Capital Crimes" takes the band to Canterlot. due to the fallout from the previous chapter.
"The Brass Ring" showcases a couple of concerts, mainly for Lyra and Octavia.

Sorry for the delay with the next chapter of The Band; Real Life, and other stuff.

In the mean time, attempting to edit the current chapters. My paragraphs are chaotic, since I really don't know the basic rules. At least my work is not Walls of Text! Yet. "Discord, go away!"

The Gryphon story arc is proving to be quite challenging, and not that much fun. I am tempted to bypass it, leaving hints in up coming chapters, and add it later.

Just an experiment; to get my creative juices flowing again
If someone suggests a better album title. I might take it, with credit given.

The Band:
Sweetie Belle= Lead Vocals
Wild Rover=Lead Guitar, Banjo, Fiddle/Violin, Vocals
Lyra Heartstrings= Lyre/Harp, Guitar
Octavia Melody=Cello/Double Bass, Fiddle/Violin
Vinyl Scratch= Keyboards. Sound Engineer

Double names to certain instruments are added for artistic reasons.
"Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.”

Sorry about The Band not making any appearances lately; But, writer's block and other distractions (namely Real Life, and (favorite) games like Civilization and The Sims)

With somewhat fresh eyes, I have been able to break through.
With some pieces left over to clear away. (Never ending editing); Expect the next chapter within a week or two; Barring Real Life and other distractions.

To whet your appetite: Hints to the next three likely chapters:

I finally picked a title for that story set in The Optimalverse,."Wandering Through Equestria"; And a plot for the story.
If your minds are in the gutter, keep them there; Unfortunately, you are going have to use your imagination, because most of the steamy stuff will be "behind closed doors" . I am not sure I can write (good) porn. (Despite the practice I been having lately at another site).

Writing the gryphon story arc is proving a lot harder then I thought, Plus got distracted by a new (to me) game. I will add the chapters later.
Onto the next arc:

The band gets called to Canterlot for the events in the Gryphon Mines Affair. Mainly for their protection. But dark talons touch even the capital and the local mob.

I have been re-reading a few stories from the The Optimalverse ; And thought of what my own pony avatar might look like in Equestria Online.
Unicorn for sure. Favorite color: Blue.

I should stop editing this *laughs*
