    incredibly sick

    haven't been able to hit the computer much the past month. Got sick on labor day weekend, ended up with a bad case of pneumonia deep in my lungs. Despite it, I've been forcing myself to go to work overtime because... well, bills need to be paid.

    I haven't disappeared, but I'm healing. be back soon, promise.

    Child rearing is oftentimes unpredictable.

    TLA has only been delayed as I cannot access my files from where I am or when I'm home because of small children. Not mine, yet I suppose, but the little ones take a lot of time and attention and love. And food. So much food. My nieces are garbage disposals.

    That was an Adventure through the Comics. TLA incoming.

    Hey folks, just finished up a grand majority of the comics, and there was only one big plot point that rubbed up super hard against the story, so once I swap it out it'll be fine. I'll even drop off exactly what it was in the authors notes when it comes up and is no longer relavant to keep from you. Lucky me the plot didn't hinge on it(anymore- it was something important before but I minimized it

    Dude, where's my blogpost?

    I made a blogpost on Friday talking about delaying the chapter a week while I catch up on pony lore in the comics, mainly because there's three things I want to do and I straight up don't want to do something that clashes entirely with what's going on with the characters.

There have been some great moments in The Literary Appeal. *edit* RIP Grandma · 9:57pm Dec 4th, 2013

I just wanted to share one of my favorite lines.

...while I played with dresses and overgrown foals dressed in daddy’s money. I say, Scarlet, you really have made a mess of things without my help.”

Scarlet leaned back, her pout returned. “When you put it like that, I start to look a little silly.”

“Believe me, dear, you need not my help.”

A simple dialogue exchange, but it makes me smile. "Overgrown foals dressed in daddy's money" indeed. I wonder how many of you have kept track of the Mane 6 appearing in my story. It's a personal philosophy of mine that anypony added has to be for a significant reason, and not just to move a plot along. To that end, I urge everyone to take a second look through the chapters and latch on to every character with an extended scene - they'll be showing up again.

I can't believe it's taken me a year to get into the final stretch, but again I promise I will do everything I can to finish this story before Dec. 31st.

...However, due to health reasons, this may not happen. Not my health, but a family member nonetheless. I lost the whole of last week with family and taking care of my grandmother, and should something happen, I reserve the right to take some extra time. But not much. I swear this story will be finished posthaste. Apparently I've spoken too soon, as within a half an hour of posting this, my grandmother passed away.

RIP Grandma, until we meet again.

I'll just say this, man. Family comes first. Always.

Good luck writing. :twilightsmile:

My condolences on the death of your Grandma. I hope you always remember the good times you had with her.

Ah that sucks dude, I lost both of my grandmas when I was really young so it didn't effect me much.

My condolences.:fluttershysad:
