Confused Ramblings of a Brony. · 2:50am Nov 20th, 2013

Writing is hard.

I have two ideas for My Little Pony Fan-Fics floating around in my head (well, I have more than that but only the two that I want to write):

One is a story about the Cutie Mark Crusaders that I came up with while watching Ponyville Confidential (A story that I am surprised that has not already been written by somebody else, at least that I can find). I tried to write this one. I really did. It even has a story number here on Fimfiction. It is at 467 words and was last edited May 4th, 2013. I know what needs to happen during the first couple of chapters, but I can't seem to make that go from what is in my head to what is on my screen. I have a very hard time with "Show, Don't Tell." I can look at what I have written and see that I have 'Told', but I don't know how to rewrite it to make it 'Show'. And then I get frustrated, and give up.
