No. Haven't seen marq for a bit.

Hey, bronies. Had to work early on my second job. What's up?

We're giving each other motivational speeches apparently.

How do you guys write fics? I've tried, but there's a mental block of sorts for me. I've heard your first is always the hardest.

Despite watching TTGL, I don't feel like giving out any motivational speech, curiously enough.

Not much. Talking about our life dreams a bit.

I just pondering changing Aerobat's name to Dingbat, to better befit his wacky personality (incidentally, Fancy Free is getting most of Aerobat's old personality). With a single syllable adjective in there too. Something to do with flying.

@ dark

Long story short...I don't write. I just faf about.

I'll give motovation speech a try:

"Let your conchense be your guide"-Jimminy Cricket

There. I tried.

Consciences are terrible for inspiration. It's always "Bleh, you can't throw him under a bus for a promotion" this and "Weh, those orphans never did anything to you" that.

It really puts a damper on my homicidal rages.

So, I worked the math the other day, and I found out that when I start up school again, I'm going to be a hundred dollars in the red every month even if I somehow manage to achieve maximum financial efficiency. My roommate announced yesterday that he's moving out at the end of the month, which means I'm going to have to start carrying the utilities bill on my own. My landlord suddenly decided that everyone has to get renter's insurance or else she's raising rent. I really want to move out myself, but I can't afford to make a deposit anywhere else. And I still can't find a fucking job.

What happened to your old one? Or is it not enough?

It's not enough. I make about three hundred dollars a month, give or take, and my bills are going to go up to somewhere between three fifty and four hundred once the semester starts.

Oh, I see. That's going to be rough, huh? That is, if it wasn't already.

Right now, running out of toothpaste is a financial crisis for me. I'm probably going to have to drop out of school. And at this point in my life... well, this is pretty much my last chance for education.

I'm sorry you have to go through all that. Here's hoping you can land a job someplace.

sorry to hear that cdrw. I hope something comes up.

I have a sadistic streak when it comes to my characters. I like drinking their sweet, fictional tears.

I kinda like seeing Fluttershy suffer.

Well, she wouldn't be nearly as endearing if she was a confident, well-spoken pegasus. It's her vulnerability which makes her cute. Still, I've seen people take it way too far in the other direction and make her into a nervous wreck who can't even trot out her door.

Come now! I kinda don't like seeing the 'shy suffer! What did she ever do to you? -dons helmet-

I don't have any endearance towards Fluttershy anymore. I don't dislike her, good heavens no, but just apathetic.

Then again, I am not nearly as enthusiastic about the show as I once was.

Were you ever that enthusiastic about the show?

Sorry about that btw, CDRW.

I haven't seen the sun in a while.

Not enough wisemen like this guy.

CDRW, any chance you could get another roommate when this guy moves out?

Come to think of it, the first fanfics I ever worked on were collaborative stuff. Very informal, low-stakes round robins—more focused on having fun than on putting out impeccable writing. Doing those probably didn't help my writing skills very much, but they certainly helped my confidence.

I don't remember: did you ever ask to join the FIM round robin we've got going on?
