I can't believe I'm about to say this...
Under Our Wing's next chapter is going to be delayed.... even more than it already has been. I can't say how long, but it's just... not working out right now. Simply put, I have no idea what to do with the damn story. It was written well before I thought "Hey, you know what would be a good idea? PLANNING MY GOD DAMN STORIES" and as such suffers from a plot that is... non-existent. Well, to be fair, the original plot for it was the first one I ever planned. I had a flow chart and everything! But... well, looking at that plot from a better perspective it... sucked, so I made a new one based on some half-formed ideas I had at the time and said "Yeah, let's go with that!" and now here I am with no idea where to take the story. I have a vague sense of where I'm going, but I have no god damned idea how to get there. Sorry guys, but it's gonna wait for a while until I can get my head on straight and do some serious thinking.
In the mean time, I will work full-time on Missing Dreams because in the last week I have thought up about a billion different ideas for it and I have planned scene after scene after scene. As well as part-time work on Four is Greater because I'm excited to write that one, if I can get past the block with the current chapter.
Oh, and the third book in the Dreams series is already being planned! Yeah, not kidding. Well, I am over exaggerating; I'm not planning it, I'm thinking about it. I already know who the main antagonist is going to be, I know what their goals and motivations are, and I know what I want them to be like. (Spoiler; it's a character already in the Dreams series. Also, the main antagonist for Missing Dreams is actually You think I'd tell you? , yeah; I can't believe no one guessed them yet.)
Anyway, Missing Dreams should be about as long as Cheated Dreams, possibly longer depending on a few choices I make later on. The third one is, right now, going to be the shortest until I can think out a more substantial plot for it.
Lastly, the fic idea I pitched last blog interests me enough to write it, and after gathering a few opinions on it, both on and off this site, I've decided to go ahead with A Study on the Notion of Love at First Sight. Still a working title, and will probably be changed. Once I get a few episode's worth of backlog I'm going to release, and I want to write a new chapter every day; they're only, like, 500 words, and will occasionally drop as low as 300, so that' not even 20 minutes, including editing time. I can manage that, even on a bad writing day.
Quick re-cap; Under Our Wing is going back to the drawing board for an actual plot. Could take a while (SORRY!). Missing Dreams is my main focus. Four is Greater is my side project. Dreams fic #3 is in planning. My journal series is going ahead, and I hope to have the first couple chapters out in a week or two. It'll give me the perfect excuse to watch the episodes over again.
That's all folks! Sorry again to those of you looking forward to Under Our Wing. I promise when I get an actual plot hammered out for it I'll get back in gear.
Until next time,

Ok, y'know what Kody? I'm done with the waiting. I'm gonna go read the Dreams series right now, and I'm gonna find out who the antagonist is, even if it kills me!
Ooh, Smash bros Wii.U is about to release! I'll be right back... *Doesn't come back for 6 months*
