Summer 2013 Day 18 : Darn writer's block...

Lately when I try to write new scripts I keep hitting mental blocks mid writing. What a pain. But then again I am just plying my time waiting for another chance to try and submit another mini to ponyinabox... I kinda need to keep an eye on the tumblr just in case such an opportunity ever rises again... maybe I need that as motivation to spark a fresh script in my mind that will actually stick and I can finish. Sigh. Wish ponyinabox had some guidelines for mini submissions, even if the odds are extremely low at least it will spark dome fresh motivation in me even if my odds are weak.

So back to the drawing board and try again.

Summer 2013 Day 9 : Post at the Edge of Change

And for once the change in question has nothing to do with Equestria Girls. Instead the change is in regard to the June 1st announcement that Matt Smith is leaving Doctor Who with his last episode being the 2013 Christmas Special at the end of the year. For context? It's June and last word spoke of the 50th Anniversary episode being in production. So they have yet to sit down and begin production of the Christmas Special... yet.

So as the year ends we will experience a major change in the Doctor Who fandom, entering 2014 with a new 12th Doctor... So yes, I know I keep saying it but... your still wrong, Jamjar, you are not voicing the 12th Doctor... get ready to do the RetCon dance.

Change can also be a good thing. Adding that laptop this coming week I hope to have everything going in terms of podcasting by the end of the Week. That would be nice since I have a lot of podcasts to get rolling. As for fiction writing I have to sit down and start writing, which would probably go better if the darn internet connection would just stay stable long enough for me to start writing... stay tuned.
