    Back on the horse! (That just sounds wierd in this fandom)

    So! I have started writing again. This next chapter is going to be LONG. I'm almost at 6k words and I don't think I've even hit the half way point. Brilliant Point and Demon Eyes Laharl are keeping me to task on writing and I will keep everyone updated as to the status of it. Despite the long pause between updates I'd like to think that I put a lot of effort into the holes and gaps in my story

    Long time no see!

    Been a while...sorry about that. I have excuses! Many Excuses!

    Unfortunately what put this off the most was the passing of my last grandparent. That was tough and the rest of the extended family certainly didn't help things at all.

    My Nefarious Plan

    So I'm going to have to head out of the country here for about a week. I'll have limited internet access and a lot of free time. "Uncle Shira, Uncle Shira," you ask, "What does this mean!?"

    Hmmm, that was unexpected.

    Outline for the next chapter of Hearts, Hooves & Hands is done! Slight catch, the outline, no dialogue, just an outline is almost 5k words. What was supposed to be the next chapter may have to be broken up into a couple of chapters. I'm about to go out of country for a week so if I don't manage to get good access and post a chapter then given my outline -> actual story conversion ratio then when

    Status: Currently under the weather

    Since everyone's asking I can just point you all here now. Had a stomach bug for the last couple of days. Finally finished my project before the deadline at work so I can take a break for a while. Sorry for the delay on all the projects, now I can get to it.

Back on the horse! (That just sounds wierd in this fandom) · 12:42am Sep 8th, 2013

So! I have started writing again. This next chapter is going to be LONG. I'm almost at 6k words and I don't think I've even hit the half way point. Brilliant Point and Demon Eyes Laharl are keeping me to task on writing and I will keep everyone updated as to the status of it. Despite the long pause between updates I'd like to think that I put a lot of effort into the holes and gaps in my story such that things will be even higher quality when I post the first chapter. I am probably going to have to split this up into two different chapters. If I were to leave it as a single chapter it will probably be in excess of 20k words with all I want to cover.

Rest assured Hiro and Lumi's story is far from over.

Besides that things move on, business is moving forward, real life blah blah blah, when do I get ponies? I know how it works. SOON!

Besides that I am part time helping out B4ssXCello with his story, Final Fantasy: It's Discord's Fault! by B4ssXCello, which will hopefully take a very comedic and tongue-in-cheek look at the old world of NES era RPGs via ponies. Because ponies make everything better right?

Ok, if there's interest as well I will put up links to the early edited version once it's ready for my story so people can yell at me as well and you can see what garbage I am writing down and attempting to pass off as a story.

Peace out, and remember, the answer is ALWAYS drink more.

WELCOME BACK SHIRA!

WOOOO

NOW I CAN SHOVE MY NEW STORIES IN YOUR FACE AGAIN!

1335395

Hahaha hey man, good to see you. Like the new nickname (I had to look up who you were XD) and avatar.

Oh god stories to the face! This is going to take effort on my part isn't it :rainbowlaugh:

Shira!!! Where have you been? I really missed you and Lumi! :fluttershbad::fluttershbad::fluttershbad:

1339850

Crap, it didn't post. Sorry! Life has happened, new job and yadda yadda. Lumi is coming up I promise! I've had a couple busy days but I'm back at it!

Soo...this mythical 12k word chapter, where is it. Haha, story seems interesting, sad we have seen more.

2254535

Sitting around in a gdoc file because I was never happy with how it turned out. Then I started my own business and my editors got a real life and I slacked.

I suppose part of the problem, outside of general life busy stuff is that I know how the whole story goes, I've got it laid out but I don't really write for fans, I do it for myself. Thus it's a lot harder for me to force myself to do all the detail work. I'd feel lame about giving such an excuse but this is a hobby.

That said a certain asshole who I edit for (DEL) has been inspiring me as of late. Who know if I'll continue with Hiro and Lumi or go on to something new. I feel though that the fandom has produced more stories that deal with the interspecies relationship a lot better so I don't know if I feel as compelled to put this story out as I did before.

Looking kinda bleak... How sad. :fluttercry:

Came here from Demon Eyes' page, and was happy for more human. Sad to run into another basically canceled story. I also see your profile description, so at least I know why.

Well, I guess all I can say is I'm sad to see another artwork halted, and artist. :fluttershysad:

Good luck on future endeavors, I suppose. :pinkiesmile:

Yeah sorry man, work caught up to me and it's not necessarily a story that I think would have done well in the long run. Well at least back then, now stories that focus on relationships more seem to be much more popular even as sometimes I feel that the fandom wanes. I still have all my notes for the whole story, and the outline from beginning to end but, work + international travel has kind of eaten up a lot of my free time.

Nice to see a response, and yeah I totally get what you're talking about. Real life has a tendency to eat up time for other things, and I fully understand that.

I'm going to give you a follow, still, because I feel like I'd like to be around if you try to put your hand at anything in the future. :pinkiesmile:

Good Luck with Life and stuff. :twilightsmile:
