    Explanation of what's going on/why there has not been content released

    I am still writing, but I want to finish the book in its entirety before I release it. This will help assure that it's not awful. I have made good progress and I hope to have it done by the end of this year. Most of the exhaustion I experienced (detailed in the previous post) has been resolved, but I still would rather not spend very much more of my life on this thing in particular (although I

    What might as well be a Christmas gift

    Here's something I wrote. Hopefully you think it's good enough to share.

    The Heart

    People are a
    spiked ball with
    serrated, saw-metal edges
    jagged with teeth

    you grab them and
    you bleed love and fire
    which seeps into the
    crevices, sinking in
    all for the hope of
    maybe, one day finding
    what is inside.

    Equestrian Concepts is almost done. Again!

    One year, five months, and a handful of days ago, the thought of writing a piece of fiction entered my mind for the first time.

    One year, three months, and five days ago, I posted the first chapter of Equestrian Concepts.

    Nine months ago, on March 2nd, 2013, I finished Equestrian Concepts.

    Or so I thought.

Long-overdue revisions. · 7:08am Jun 6th, 2013

As only one of you knows, I've been spending an enormous amount of time rewriting EC. Quite frankly, as it was it sucked.

But of course I will not leave it at that. I will take every opportunity to elaborate, simplify, uncover, analyze, complicate, and pontificate about these changes. I cannot, of course, straight-up say that all of it sucks. There were quite a few things that were good, but there were many, many more things that I, as soon as I realized that I had indeed written them, became aghast at.

I mean, seriously. How could anybody have stood to read some of that stuff? It was just so... ugh. So many things I didn't do and needed to, so many things I did do and did poorly, so many things I shouldn't have done at all.

Needless to say, it took me some time to gain perspective and learn many things about writing. As I apply those lessons to my previous writings (yes, my other fictions will get rewrites, as will the collaboration) I find it to be taking an extreme amount of time, resulting in the situation that I will probably not be publishing anything "new" for quite some time. I also promise that I won't delete this post in a fit of rage and irritation like I have all of my others. Maybe. Don't count on it. I don't pretend that anyone cares about a blog post.

For now, feel free to take a look at the much-revised editions as they come up.
