    Solidarity

    A troubling modern trend is complex issues being boiled down to pithy quotes. Nuance matters. Context matters. Problems that have a simple and easy fixes don't stay problems.

    Nevertheless, sometimes the pithy quote is on point. This is one such time.

    Signal boost

    I doubt I can add much boost, but Horizon's blog post on sexual assault bears maximum repetition. For the good of the fandom, or at the very least in the name of being a decent person, check it out if you haven't already.

    State of the Author

    I continue to not be dead. :yay:
    Still job hunting, though. :fluttershysad:

    Words continue to happen, occasionally in the writeoffs, but mostly on the novel I've mentioned. I'm now about halfway through the first draft, and it's full steam ahead.

    See you all on the other side (or if I get a really cool pony fic out of the writeoffs).

    Interview!

    Hey folks, still not dead. I actually just finished an interview with SirNotAppearingInThisFic, which you can find here. Some great questions, and hopefully my answers are equally interesting. So go hit it up if you want to see me talk about writing, rockets, and stuff I've been working on.

    Enjoy!

Chapter 4 progress · 2:52pm Jul 8th, 2013

Thank you all for your patience, I know I'm not always the most communicative.

So the initial draft of Chapter 04 is basically complete, and is currently receiving that all-important objective feedback and consideration. I'll be putting it up as soon as I've gotten the all clear.

I didn't think the writing would run nearly this long, but some portions ended up taking a fair amount of re-writing to get right, and I also had to take some time out to brainstorm some major plot elements. One of those benefits of pre-readers is getting push back when you're trying something silly; the eventual form of the story has diverged greatly from plan A, and coming up with plan B was non-trivial. So long as things hold together, though, it should be for the better.


Oh, and count yourselves lucky that April 01 is in the rear-view mirror XD

Huh, and here I just finished re-reading Just Passing Through. I'm grateful for the update and for the awesome fic. Keep up the good work and I eagerly await the next installment. :twilightsmile:


P.S. - Oh, and I forgot about this before but consider yourself followed :pinkiecrazy:

Oh yeah. Looking forward to this.
The few truly solidly written and inventive non-crossover HiE's I read are ones I really treasure.
