No way around this. Every blog has been about Rarity. Why? Truthfully I did not plan this but it's what I have the most thoughts about.

The thing with Rarity is, imo, she's simply Best Pony. Even though there are many things I think could improve the character if they were changed she still scores high on the main 3 areas I think most people judge characters on: depth, development and likability. She's not the highest on all 3, except depth as I think she sinks everyone else (huehue), but she does overall the best.

And I often find her underrated in the fandom, and underrepresented in the analysis community (take that with a grain of salt, I am by no means a connoisseur). Sometimes with good reason admittedly, even if I disagree I can see where those who underrate her are coming from, but sometimes not.

So I want to use this hiatus to get my overall impression and analyses out there. Because I have something big coming up which will radically change my life. While I doubt it will end my involvement in the fandom it will hamper it. So I want to make a good end while I can.

My biggest hurdles are motivation and motivation.

Two different issues with motivation. I am distract-able and often leave blog unfinished, adding to them over a few weeks. Not the worst thing ever but I am used to writing papers out in one go from school and almost never had to proofread (while still getting high marks in high level classes; don't worry, I am stopping now). As you can tell, that was a long while ago but the bad habits remain as they so often do. As such my posts tend to be poorly structured and disjointed. Hence why I often edit them after releasing them. The posts about Rarity's Flaw and Freudian Psyche being heavily revised.

But this issue is something for me to fix, it's simply worth letting people know.

My second issue with motivation is what I would like help on. With the exception of the next two topics or so, I don't know what to write. The root of this issue is my method of recording my ideas and hooks for my analyses has been to simply write them down as they come with no organization, and now I obviously want to organize them. However I've reached the point where the material to be organized is rather massive in scope.

So any organizational tips would be greatly appreciated.

The next blog will address what I've found to be a weakness in my analyses, addressing the right audience.

My first blogs about Rarity were written about things that occurred to me, a rarifan, and other rarifans enjoyed. But to a non-rarifan it may seem weak without proper schema. I need to start from the ground-up and not top-down.

Kindly leave your thoughts below as per usual.
