    Where I've Been

    So, I've been taking writing really seriously over the past year. I got 15,000 words out of NaNoWriMo; not bad for a busy month running science festivals. I finished the manuscript in June, sold my retro game systems the funds for self-publishing e-books, and joined a forum thread on one of my boards to write 500 words a night. I was feeling pretty good, especially considering I'm finally a

    Hooves Holding Hearts contest

    So, working on the next chapter. No one reading the last one got the hints about the new kid, who is the story's main kid. I'll give these out, and the first person (and maybe a few others) who get it right will earn a small OC cameo in HHH.

    Now, the kid's an OC...but the mother is not.

    Here are the first few hints.

    Hooves Holding Hearts Edit

    So, I changed a scene in chapter four. I changed it because it didn't work, and others complained with a reasonable point.

    It happens near the end of the chapter.

    Spoilers ahead.

    I mean, really spoilers.

    If you haven;t read the chapter, it kind of ruins the punch to know this...

    Ready.



    So, when John is confronting the father....

    What the pre-readers are saying...

    Just so you know, here's some comments on the Hooves Holding Hearts chapter that drops this week.

    "She had a really miserable childhood, didn't she?"

    "Holy freaking s***! Nevermind Jazz, you are not worst parent anymore!"

    "This is both heartwarming and utterly heartbreaking at the same time. You magnificent bastard."

    Story Progress!

    Chapter four of Hooves Holding Hearts is off to the pre-readers! I'm going to try to get a C&D chapter done next, I think. I'm having to split time between pony writing and writing things I actually intend to e-publish for money, but I intend to finish the crop of stories I have, maybe saving a week in summer to write "Doctor Whooves and the Mare in the Moon."

Writing Time Draws Near! Paleo's Summer Writing Schedule! · 7:00am Jun 1st, 2013

My school's year ends on Thursday. A teacher off for the summer will I be.

The main thing I've been looking forward to will be writing. Seriously, I'll make a self-enforced moratorium on Don't Starve for writing. I finally will not come home too exhausted to open my Google Docs.

So, what comes out first?

* Almost finished the first chapter of the Lyra/Bon Bon story the Choices fans have been bugging me for. They want to see her happy, and I have a nice teary road to that. To my knowledge, no one's ever tried this plotline before. I just need to secure some cover art.

* Been picking at the next chapter of Chaos & Darkness. Want to do that next.

* I can finally FINISH "A Nightmare in Ponyville." The rest is about 25-40% written.

* I intend to rewrite the first six chapters of School Daze. I've gotten through half of chapter one so far. I've been told the level of writing quality jumps up at seven. I'm proud of School Daze, but it was my first writing project ever. I want to polish it up.

* Have a one-shot story as a tribute to the fan work of Lady Moondancer and the encouragement she gives in educating bronies on awesome G1 stuff.

* There are a few small stories I need to wrap up.

Will I get to the third Whooves Family story? I hope so. This one will pack a punch.

Also, entered a writing contest to try to get cover art of "Doctor Whooves Dumps... Who?" Wish me luck!

By the way... I'm proud of Long Roll of Years, and it received an unusual amount of favorites this month. Does anyone know if it was reviewed in a blog or something?

After that... I have the entirety of Mystery Science Theater 3000 to watch. :D

Sounds like fun! I can't wait for that Lyra/Bon Bon story.

Been picking at the next chapter of Chaos & Darkness. Want to do that next.

I'm excited about you finishing up some stuff, as I don't really read unfinished stories, and I've been looking forward to reading "A Nightmare in Ponyville".

In the meantime I guess I'll read "The Long Roll of Years" (for some reason I haven't read it yet).
