I usually stick to common themes in my stories. I like to have all the characters have a good reason for their goals. I shoot down any concept of fate. Also, there are always dragons.

    I should post more of my artwork here.

    Hey, y'all. Chapter 54 of The Elder Scrolls: Equestria is making slow yet steady progress. I feel I should restore my presence on this website with some regular art posts, especially since I'm making a return to pony artwork.

    Chapter 45 completed. That was thrilling.

    Can't believe I burned through 2,000 words in two hours. Haven't done that since I started the story back in high school.

    I encourage you to read chapter 45 of The Elder Scrolls: Equestria, and see what has become of Caro and Tohro after a grave encounter in the catacombs.

    The Backup Plan (Or: What if I can't finish The Elder Scrolls: Equestria?)

    No, I'm not dying.

    I accepted my mortality the day my dad died of a sudden heart attack that he didn't deserve. That was also the day I stopped believing in God. I came to understand that we're all going to leave this world with just as many unfulfilled wishes as fulfilled ones. It's not really something that grates on my mind, it's just a little thing that I've come to understand.

    A new piece of art, from me

    I made this to celebrate yesterday's absolutely amazing episode. It was the only way to make my happy tears stop. I'm not dramatic, what are you talkin' about?

Okay, here's the explanation, and the plan. · 6:26am Sep 15th, 2013

First of all, it's been almost two months since the last chapter of The Elder Scrolls: Equestria. That is too long, and unacceptable. My readers deserve better than that and I vow that the next chapter will be out quicker.

Now, the reason this has taken so long is because of my usual writing methods. While I plan out big events in my stories, such as Caro's awakening as Dragonborn, or the epic duel in the Rainbow Palace, I usually just wing the in-between. Unfortunately, because I don't take the time to plan ahead there, I tend to take longer to figure out what to write.

It also doesn't help that this chapter is the longest one yet. How long? Well, I estimate 20,000 words by the time I'm finished.

Damn, right?

Now, my plan is to get this finished as soon as possible, as I am on the final stretch. Then I will immediately begin work on Chapter 29. If all goes well, I'll have it uploaded by the anniversary of The Elder Scrolls: Equestria's initial upload. That's September 27th.

Look forward to Chapter 28: The Beast Remains, coming soon.

So. I have a goal to finish that before then...

But. May I ask?

Why such long chapters?

Good point.

(insert witty statement about Skeeter not understanding why you write long chapters)
