Moving Forward, Moving Back · 9:16pm Mar 5th, 2012
Hello, everypony (if anypony actually reads these)! Good news and bad news: Chapter 5 is (finally) done. It only took me...let's see here...oh. A month. *Ahem*. Could've been worse, I suppose. I blame the fact that I got my wisdom teeth out and can't write on Lortab. What was I saying again? Oh yes, I found a great editor, Secondaryspine, to help me out with my fic. I'm planning on submitting this to EqD soon, and if anyone can make this garbage worthy of being posted there, it's him. Okay, now for the bad news: I'm going out of town for ten days. Out of the country, actually. Now, I would hope that my vacation would smoothly, and I would end up inspired by the gorgeous Italian scenery, culture, and countryside to weave together hundreds of thousands of words of the best MLP fanfiction the world has ever seen. I would meet a gorgeous Italian woman, and show her my fanfiction, and even though she couldn't understand a word of it, she would recognize my genius, and we would fall passionately in love. Our love affair would be the stuff of legend, tomes as thick as my head written about its profundity and spread across Europe until that fateful thenth day, when I would hop into my WWII style fighter plane and fly away into the sunset, a single tear making its way down my face as I leave behind my one true love to return to what I know in the land I call home.
What's slightly more likely is that I'm going to sit on my ass for a week and a half and eat a ton of pasta, my fanfiction utterly neglected. Sorry! Anyway, the basic moral of this whole thing is that Chapter VI is going to take about as long as Chapter V did, in that I won't by writing for a while, and when I get back around to it, he and I are going to go back and edit these first five chapters to get them ready for submission. Sorry for all these delays, everypony!
