    1. @tequilasunrise chill out man. Iam a writer myself. Currently trying to get a novel out there. I'll def give it a read. Do you regularly write? and if so what do you normally write?

      1. @redtie No worries. And yes, I do need to chill out! I don't write regularly enough, honestly, but of late when I do it's all been fanfic. I've had some original ideas (mainly furry stuff) but I've managed to get stuck one place or another with most of the more recent ones. The other one I'm kind of working on is Celestia and Luna.

        1. @tequilasunrise tip for getting grapes on paper. 300 words a day typed. Thats just under two paragraphs. DO ONLY 300 a day, even if it seems small and you can go farther. You will be blown away at how much the story will progress.

          1. @redtie Sound advice - I've heard similar stuff before but never quite managed to stick to it. I'm going to write a bit right now. I usually start out longhand so I can't really do word count there, but I'll call it a page or so longhand.

              1. @redtie That's cool. I've got a lot of nifty fountain pens so I like the opportunity to use them, and I feel like my thought process works better on paper, too; with the keyboard I sometimes feel like my brain intermediates less, since I type really quickly.

                1. @tequilasunrise for me its more like i'd get distracted and play games or something. Its alittle too easy to just boot up fallout or minecraft.

                  1. @redtie Yeah, that too. The Battlefield 3 beta has its hooks in me at the moment. I should get back into Minecraft one of these days.

                  2. @redtie There, there's 300 words. After that and food I'm feeling quite a bit better. Cheers.

                    1. @tequilasunrise *brohoof* keep that up and you will be amazed how much you get done in a month.

          2. @redtie Hmmm I wonder if the same thing can be applied to software development...

            1. @cracky hmm, then it might have to be characters instead of words if you are dealing with code. Whatever gets you doing some of that work every. single. day.

        2. @tequilasunrise and even if its one of those days where you cant think of what to write, just puke out some garbage onto the page. Hell write type pony 300 times if need be. Aslong as you are typing each day, you will help train yourself.
