Update - Progress on Chapter 6 of "You Brighten My Day" etc. · 12:56am Feb 14th, 2013
Hello everyone! Just thought you'd all enjoy an update of my progress. Chapter 6 of "You Brighten My Day" is still coming along nicely. Currently I have 9,255 words written and still need to finish three scenes. Now, I may end up pushing one back to another chapter, and even though it was mentioned in this chapter between Daniel and Celestia, it can still work later on. I've also been giving the really tender scene of this chapter due thought and ironically, I think I will be going with my first successful version of the "I Love You" scene. I'm not overly pleased with the second one and I think I conveyed more emotion with the first, plus I have a slight revision in mind that should make it even stronger.
I'm still planning a love scene for chapter 6, but I can say without exaggeration that chapter six most likely won't exceed the length of chapter 5, which was a little shy of 14,000 words. From what I can recall, everything in this chapter builds on the relationship even more, leading up to the calming and tender moment scene. A few more scenes will then lead up to the next love scene and hopefully be to everyone's liking. I'm hoping to finish the rough draft by the weekend. Right now, if I hold-off the one scene, I only have two more scenes to do till this chapter is finished.
Now after I finish work on this chapter, my Twilight Sparkle story will be next. "For Whom She Sparkles" has undergone a few minor tweaks in the overall planning phase, but should deliver the type of 2nd-person human x pony romance you've come to expect from me. The only real thing I've decided to change form what you may recall in the summary I shared a few months back - is the duration in which "you" have known Twilight and been her friend. Originally I had it that "you" had become a good friend of hers over a period of a few months, but for the story I want to convey, I'm switching it from a few months to about two years. When the new summary is released along with the story, and you get to read it first hand, you'll understand why I made the change. I'm not sure how long this story will be off the bat, but given some minor alterations to the plot, it should easily exceed 10,000 words. I will be doing this as at least two parts, and I've already got titles in mind for each part. There is a very special love song that will host the theme of the second part, plus while it will be late, this is going to be my "Hearts and Hooves Day" story. Based off the summary I never officially chose a time of year for it to take place, so I figure, why not have it coincide with this holiday.
That's all for now my friends. Hope you all are doing well. I'm hanging in there, and slowly but surely making progress on my projects! Thank you as always for your support and encouraging words! Have some more Celestia pics and another Twilight pic! Till later!

Celestia at a beautiful rocky mountain waterfall!
Look's like Twilight is really looking forward to her story. =D
YES TWILIGHT!!! I've been waiting to hear that!
*twilight* YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!
Must Have Twilight Clopple!!!
Lucky for me, I've been getting more time to read. I've started reading your DBZ fic. I've only read one chapter so far, but I already like it! Reading that, plus some other stories I have backlogged on here should occupy my time until your next Celestia chapter is ready.
When I read this, my face went
I still can't wait!
I'm also glad to hear that Twilight is getting some love too!
And someone needs to tell knighty to give us a Fleur emoticon! I demands it!
Thanks for the comments guys.
Though sadly due to the colder weather and my lousy employer, I just couldn't focus on my writing tonight, so I didn't really get much done. I feel like my heads in a fog.

My stories and chapters often seem to run long. lol And yep, Twilight will getting some love. And yay for Fleur while we're at it! I still want to write a story about her at some point!
Awww
, no adorable survey, but it's nice to hear more news from you -- now to clarify, will Twilight be a unicorn in your story? or an Alicorn? because I think you said you were going for the latter.
Personally, I prefer the former, but that's just me
Excited for YBMD, especially with the "I Love You" scene around the corner. Also equally excited for the Twi story.
Quick, unrelated question: do you have prereaders? I'm not saying you need any, but I was curious. Because if you're willing, I'd love to look over earlier drafts and give some feedback on them. But if you don't do this, don't worry about it. Just thought I'd make this offer.
Awsome pics.
I can't wait to read the next chaptor. 
did anyone else notice the coin purse in the pond? MINE!
Would you have received my post to In Your Hooves Again?

That's a chest, but thanks for playing though, wait...is u a dragon?
I'm going to start making chemistry puns
Because that's my new Element...Don't worrier I'll lead myself out
826252 I is a Kaiju and are you sure that's not a purse its got a clip and everything.
826309
holy shit...I found a penny
You Brighten My Day is the best romance I've ever read, second only to A Total Eclipse Of Their Hearts. You are an extremely talented writer, keep it up man.

But since they all have been useful so far, I'll be sure to have more! 
And for this first Twilight story, she will be a unicorn, the way I prefer her. But the reason I have a fic starring her as an alicorn is that I can't hate her for changing, especially if it wasn't A. her idea and B. there was no way of avoiding it. My alicorn Twilight story is going to be on a bit of cloak and dagger basis, I want it to be a surprise. But "For Whom She Sparkles" Twi will be a unicorn! 
Yeah sorry, no survey this time. Gee, you really thing they are "all" adorable?
825794
Yes, thanks to taking a break the "ILY" scene in YBMD will be even better now! So I'm looking forward to this evening. I haven't given much thought to having pre-readers just yet. Perhaps in time I may look into it. But till my stories are usually complete, they are all set to be submitted, so I'm not sure.
825886
Glad to hear it!

My eye was on Tia! You can have the money, I'll spend time with the princess. 
Coin purse full of bits? *checks pic* well I'll be, it's there. Meh. I guess you can tell what my eye was on and it wasn't the coin purse.

Yes, I got your comment in my 3rd Redheart story. I didn't reply, because I didn't feel I had anything to contribute. You made clear and fair valid points. Plus you mentioned the type of story you would enjoy over romance. The only stories I have remotely like that are my Luna fic, with the events in the works as well as the end of chapter 9 and beginning of chapter 10. Plus my crossover fic Dragon Ball Pony Z (though I don't recall you saying you liked DBZ). Other than that, I don't have any real action pony stories planned. Maybe my 3rd Person Nightmare Moon of Queen Chrysalis fics might have some action, but not of the extreme Resident Evil or Final Destination sense. And back to the Redheart specific comment, I knew some of the content might be less than desirable to some, those are the chances I sometimes take in writing, I know I can't please everyone. And Redheart is also a background pony with a small following compared to some ponies. I do thank you for sharing your thoughts, nonetheless.

Chemistry puns eh? Well you usually make me laugh or grin, so why not.
826400
Thank you my friend, glad you enjoy both stories! And it's great hearing from you!
826375 don't you mean a septim?
826645 Ah, okay, I understand. :)
But oh well; I don't want to bring that discussion here, and it's all so subjective anyway - I'm happy that you say that Twi is the same, no matter what form she takes
826645 I don't mind DBZ, it's kind of overrated to me in some way now but I don't outright hate it. I may also have forgotten other movie series such as Underworld, Scream and Die Hard, come to think of it. And I can see your point in not feeling you can contribute anything to what I post about, but all the same a reply here and there has become something I look forward to especially from you.
827432
I'll be sure to keep that in mind and see about replying in kind, even if I won't always be able to provide a winning response.

I'm glad you gleaned that I like Twilight regardless of her form, because that is how I feel. I know the addition of wings, thus making her an alicorn, will bring about some major changes, but hopefully she'll still be the same mare on the inside. I mean this is Twilight we're talking about. If "Boast Busters" taught us anything, it's that she isn't conceited or arrogant - a quality I've always loved about her.

Should I ever decide to get pre-readers, I'll be sure to let you know.
827999 I'd like that, thank you.
827999 Why thank you good sir.
