    An Apology

    I doubt many people will read this, considering the broken promises that are The Curse of the Wolf Pony and One Honest Mare unfinished, but I owe you folks who are still paying attention an apology.

    New Curse Chapter

    Hey Folks,

    Sorry for the 5 month wait for a new chapter. I was working on another project and finding a job. It looks like I've found one, which is nice, and the project (a tabletop RPG ruleset) is at the point where I don't need to devote a significant portion of my time to move it along. So, it looks like I'll have much more time for writing in the future.

    New Story, Sorry OHM Isn't Updating

    Hey guys! I've submitted a new story, which should be up soon, and those of you who are wanting One Honest Mare updates are probably wondering why I'm working on something other than it. Thing is, it's really pissing me off. At the moment, I could make it a great action story. There's nothing wrong with that, because that's pretty much where I am at the moment as a writer. Problem is,

    I'm Back!

    Hey Folks,

    Some of you may have noticed that One Honest Mare has been updated, kind of. I moved the two chapters so far into one short story. This chapter will be followed by another short story from Spike's perspective. Has anyone read Casual Vacancy? That's kind of what I'll be going for here: a series of connected, but independent stories telling a larger, over-all story.

    Hiatus: Indefinite

    Long story short, I don't have the time I want to be able to devote to these stories. My life is kind of in limbo at the moment, and I'm spending all of my time at my desk, preparing a portfolio to use as a freelance writer. I'm either working on articles or original fictional content. If I'm not writing, I'm looking for a regular job. If I don't find one this month, I'm probably moving back in

Holy Damn my life has been crazy lately · 4:28am Jun 9th, 2013

TL;DR, scroll down for update news.
First of all, I would like to apologize to everybody for the delay in updating anything. For the last three weeks, my life has been insane. I'm not looking for pity here, just offering an explanation. Preparing for the fundraising job for which I was hired was actually a lot of work, and I ended up failing the evaluation: I'm really no salesman. Then came relationship issues (single now), on top of becoming an atheist. My faith had been an important part of my life up until last Sunday, so it's been an interesting adjustment. Last of all, the job search is going horribly. Absolutely no one is hiring for positions that would be worth a lease.

The good news is that I'm diving fully into writing. It's going to be wake up, eat, exercise, then start writing. I'm going to try and make it as a freelance writer (seriously, as I'm sure some of you could attest, the job market is utter shit), since that seems the most viable method for winning my bread and bacon. I've got to develop a portfolio first, so a decent chunk of my mornings will be spent writing fanfiction for practice and to warm up. I spent today cleaning my room and setting it up as a proper office, minimizing distractions, and I'm quite pleased with it.

So where does this leave updates? The next chapter of One Honest Mare as well as the first of the Casebook will be out by the end of this week, the former sooner than the latter. I know some of you were hoping that I would work on Bab's prequel/side story first, so hopefully getting to see best filly in the next update will make up for it. Those of you waiting for a Courage update, I must apologize, as you will be waiting a bit longer. I'm very unhappy with the direction it's taking. I seriously started writing it for the laughs, and did not expect anyone to like it. As soon as I am happy with where it's going, and happy with the product which I will be presenting to you, I'll be pumping out chapters, because single and doing nothing but writing.

1133363 Thank you! Here's hoping hard work and dedication can fill in where luck leaves off!

Dramatically altering your worldview is pretty intense. You have all my sympathies.
