Grogar is Coming. Grogar Is. Also, Paleo has issues. · 7:56pm Jun 11th, 2013
Chaos & Darkness Chapter 4: The Quest for Tamberlon is at 5,580 words and increasing by the minute. The relaxed summer air has rekindled the creative spark, and I should be sending it to the pre-readers by Thursday at the latest. I missed writing Tirek, Iron Will, and the rest, and I just hope I can make sure Luna isn't some helpless Woobie.
In other news, I closely examined a reader comment. I was sketching out notes for a Fluttershy/Discord 1-shot, and I realized that all of the protagonists whose families I create have parent issues. Cheerilee, Ditzy, Lyra, Iron Will, and then it hit me I started to sketch out Fluttershy's dysfunctional family ties. Admittedly, she has plenty of issues to explain, but still...
I now understand how father issues slip into all of Spielberg's movies.
Hm, I might be able to finish posting my Grogar story before Paleo gets his up and makes mine look like Twilight in comparison. Joy!
Can't wait to see how you interpret Grogar's character!

Oh, I think his first interaction with Bray will pretty well establish his motivation. He's got another surprise henchman hanging around that should shock the fans, but he'll have to wait until chapter five.
Which I WILL have out by the end of the month.

Ready by the end of the week?

...Excellent.
On the other hand, Grogar really creeps me the hell out.

Most likely ready. At 6,405 words now.
If Grogar creeps you out now, wait until you see mine.
Looking forward to it when it comes out. And so Paleo Print's summer story rush begins...
And yeah, it was kinda noticeable that there was a pattern with the parents by the end of Choices. But then again, parental issues is a common grouping of tropes in fiction.
Why do I feel like that's just the sort of "reader comment" I might have made? Hah.

Don't sweat it. I love reader analysis.
