I cant call this an update seeing as that implies that I keep you up to date, and that further implies that I post often (or at least often enough). The truth is that I don't.
One month later, I still haven't done it. I wont say I'm going to be trying to write anything right now, because exams are coming once more, but I would like to say a few things.
First off, I'm blow away by how much attention Slower Lane still gets. I get a "You've been favorited" message almost every day. It's wonderful, and you ponies are wonderful.
Alright. Self imposed job time. Write a new chapter of something by the end of the week. got it. ... I hope. I wanna finish Unexpected Home... Now I just need to figure out the ending. OH GOD IT'S SLOWER LANE ALL OVER AGAIN!
What's this? A chapter of a seemingly dead story that I apperently forgot about the moment Slower Lane garnered any form of success? I must be dreaming!
Number 1: Life hates me entering competitions. I failed at the NaPoWriMo, and got sick during the Fimfiction write-off. Number 2: Life likes causeing problems. I have had too much going on IRL to be able to write anything here, or even log on much. Number 3: Getting at least some of your life in order is a big relief. Number 4: I should write some more.
So... I can't think of any good names for ponies from Appleoosa. I have a couple... Dustbowl being one of them... but I need more if I want to really flesh out the town... Anypony have ideas? Please?

How about a pony called Express?
Or Panhandle?
Or a miner, Forty-Niner, and his orange-growing daughter Clementine?
