When the month started and immediately became wrapped up in meh.  I mostly helped out with trying to keep a friend on track with his project for the game with an RP involving chaos gods, order gods, hurricanes over Austin, and bird tits and finished it up with broken toes and me getting my first Covid 19 shot, which took me out for two days.  Like... I just look back and yeah.  That happened.

Anyway.  I'm 80 pages in on Fantasy Noir.  It's a fun story and I'm enjoying writing it more and more.  I think I need to commit more to just some original fun stories.  But I also don't plan on giving up on Homelands either.  Scotch needs a happy ending, damn it, and there's a lot more to the world to play.

A friend asked me what my asperations are... honestly I don't know.  Like finishing Homelands or another novel or the game would all be equally good, but I don't feel anything driving me anymore.  It's frustrating.  I spend more time quibbling over economics online than I do being what I want to be, which is a creative writer.

AND I definitely owe you guys more attention, so every week, give me a challenge.  A writing prompt in the reply.  Next Saturday I'll put up the reply, and you can give me the next one.  If it's "Write ONE scene in homelands." that counts too.  Getting my butt to do more with Gallus or other stories that interest is good.  But I need to light a fire under by butt like I used to, because if I'm not creating, I don't know if I'm worth anything at all.

Anyway, thanks for sticking with me.  Post ideas.  Light Somber's tail on fire!  For my own good!

Edit: Also, it's my birthday this month.  Apparently I'm dumb and someone thumped me and told me to tell you so... 42... yayyyy...

Old? Been your still a foal. You have many years left to write in. Or to do, whatever strikes your heart. I am still catching up to scotch, but hope she and the rest get a good ending.. Even Charity.

Im onboard homelands progress. Or just a completely fresh short story to digest like Last Snap. Trying to find aspirations can be an aspiration itself, reject complacency woo! Is there a google form for suggestions or something? Also you cant add line breaks on patreon mobile aaaaa-

In my opinion, the purpose of life is to enjoy it and try out different things. Not to achieve some sort of worthiness. But for what it’s worth, I enjoy your writing and so do many others and I think that’s something to be proud off. So, a writing prompt… Okay this sounded better in my head but how about “Blackjack and Littlepip meet the Mane Six”? For an unexplained reason they ended up in the canon universe around the time “The Last Problem” takes place and react to this different past where everything turned out surprisingly well.

Ooh, Ooh! What about a piece pertaining to Rainbow when she started going through Ghoulification? Well, that among all the other things that were going through her mind- I just feel like that could be a super interesting thing! Though... I guess that also means that you would have to put extra-extra thought into it so that it doesn't make complications with your current canon in the case of you adding things to the past of the story...

Oh- and what if you did a few tales that could involve canon characters that weren't around when FoE was released? Such as Starlight Glimmer, or even the tons of new races introduced in the later seasons? Like part of me wonders greatly right now how a Breezy would even potentially function/evolve/adapt to the state of that world if given the chance, though they probably faced quite a bad end too. It sparks my interest though, and I guess the stories don't even have to be canon to your story if you're already going by hypotheticals.

Quinchez Chaney

CRAP! What if you did a story involving a certain pool that created duplicates of a certain pink pony and some how worked it into the history of the wastelands? canonically or non canonically of course, your choice.

Quinchez Chaney

What if... What if there was a story regarding one of the still mentally sound at the time canterlot ghouls entering through that alternate dimension mirror within the princesses castle?

Quinchez Chaney

I have a lotta other ideas but I feel like I'm making way too many FoE related ones, I'll try to think of one unrelated to it as a whole to see if I can give you a bit more variety.

> What about a piece pertaining to Rainbow when she started going through Ghoulification? I love this concept, and it doesn't have a billion strings attached to tons of canon stuff

Bah, you aren't that old. Quit trying to cut in line to the midlife crisis. Write some Homelands. Write more Noir. Make a tabletop ruleset conversion. Take up ill advised cooking recipes for potatoes.

Well you wanted us to light a fire under your tail and the week has passed. So, I’m going to be the asshole who's asking “Any updates on the writing prompt?” 😉
