The purpose of a story is that it's a story. It can be more, but it can never be less.

    Friendship is Magic: the Musical

    So I've been trying to find ways out of my recent funk, and this was one of the most recent attempts. I thoroughly enjoyed the freshman season of Hazbin Hotel, particularly the outstanding musical numbers and how the whole season could, with just a few small modifications, be made into a Broadway style stage musical.

    So I figured hell, why not do the same with Friendship is Magic?

    Our Last Anniversary

    I've been radio silent on social media since my now ex-wife and I announced our split. A few days ago, I was moved to write this and post it on Facebook. Figured I might as well post it here as well.

    Folks say it's pretty good.

    It's bad.

    Real bad.

    So it should come as no surprise that my wife and I are divorcing. We're having to take it slow because she's so close to the end of her degree and I want her to be in a good place to help take care of our boys. We're still co-habitating, still friends.

    New Story Incoming

    It's taken years. Multiple plot revisions. The complete scrapping of "Silent Night." More false starts than I'm okay admitting. And, ultimately, it took the collapse of the life as I've known it to drive me into the mindspace necessary to find this lost child in the wilderness and finally bring her home.

    I hope the wait has been worth it.

Musings from the Desk of Jade Ring... · 5:59am Aug 23rd, 2014

...as he finalizes the outline of the plot of 'the Changelings Have a King.'

-Can a story have two prologues? Is that bad? I don't think it's bad. Maybe if I call it something else...

-G1 reference too on the nose? Nah. Plus the abrupt tonal shift is awesome...

-Poor Cheerilee. When will she learn?

-"That's a strange name for a pony." "Well... she is foreign."

-What an unexpected, but perfectly natural, pairing. I'm glad these two found each other. Of course, it is going to make things more sad when "it' happens.

-That damn journal is gonna be the death of me. Well... the death of somepony anyway...

-Full-on Dragon Rage! Watch out for Spike, Crescendo. He knows... or does he?

-The event that is going to lose me a whole ton of readers. It's either going to be the best thing I ever write or the worst. I am sorry it has to be this way...

-If I'm tearing up writing the outline, the actual scene may kill me.

-One will commit the greatest sin of all...

-Oh hey! Didn't expect to see you here. Haven't seen you in quite a while Mister...

-And the storm draws nearer.

Everything's on track to start in September. Expect more teasers the closer we get.

And, if it wasn't obvious, I've got something special for you all once I hit 500 followers.

I have a terrible sinking feeling that the 'event' between Rarity, Spike and Crescendo will involve changelings in some horrible way.

...unless of course the Rarity she saw in her vision was actually a changeling posing as her, but still.

...You utter troll. :rainbowlaugh:

(I rather like the thought of multiple prologues. It just emphasizes how much is about to go down.)
