Well it's as the old saying goes.
"Death is easy, comedy is hard".

Well it's as the old saying goes. "Death is easy, comedy is hard". Very true that. Today is the first time in weeks though that I've been free to even think about any of my own stuff. But after seeing the season five teaser I suddenly feel like it's lost a lot of appeal now that the girls will be be traveling around Equestria too. Of course it's still way to early to know that yet.

I honestly would not say that traveling is going to become a regular thing. It may or it may not, but that doesn't mean regular old adventure fics aren't going to be a thing any more.

Btw, did I tell you guys that tonnes of my notes I made about my adventurer fic were lost when my computer first went kaput. I don't know if I should view it as a huge loss or a chance to clear my head and start something.

Probably a little of both.

Most of it was garbage anyway.

Hey guys, got a query. Anyone remember that white maned, blue coated unicorn I drew? That one was an evolution of Fancy Free, who I later renamed Make Belief (with the story planned to be called Adventures of Make Belief), and his magic basically functioned like a Green Lantern ring; summoning magical hard light constructs (like Radiance also)?
I'm still going with the concept here but I've come to see that name, Make Believe, as far too clunky even by FIM standards. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions?

I vaguely remember it, but you'd cycled through so many ideas at this point that they start to blur together. Unfortunately, I suck at making up pony names.
My other suggestion is, as always, WRITE SOMETHING. You have this character ironed out pretty much, so just write a brief thing about him.

Those sound more like pegasus names, though. Anyhoof, his name can wait 'til later. I'll second what JT said: Write something. Also, try to resist the urge to second-guess yourself, then scrap heap every good idea you have in order to start from scratch. I've lost track of how many times I've told you this.

I'm sorry, I know this is all been said before.

M.C. Reynaldo Fartsalot.
There. I've come up with the worst possible name already, so anything you come up with will automatically be better.

M.C. Reynaldo Fartsalot. There. I've come up with the worst possible name already, so anything you come up with will automatically be better. That's terrible. Thank you. I also just wanted to say that today I actually got some writing done. I won't share it yet as it's very pilimerary but it's a start. A very slow start but a start none the less.

Hey, that's better than nothing. And don't worry about quality now either. I'll let Jake the Dog explain why:

Good boy Jake. But yeah, thanks. I hope this trend continues and that I write something presentable very soon.

Just write something, even if you think it sucks. Creators are their own harshest critics.
