Don't worry, it just has to do with my story "Fighting Smoke" The thing is: I don't think I'll be ready for an update tomorrow. The chapter I was working on... I just can't answer the question "Why do I even need to have this in the story?" so I'm going to start it over again. I also might need to put it on hiatus for awhile. Inspiration for other stories is popping up but not inspiration for "Fighting Smoke" : / I'm sorry... a few of you seem really excited about it and I am too... just can't figure out what the next chapter should be :(
Also...it kinda gets worse depending on how much of a fan you are of me. Truth is: I'm very likely going to get a full time job for the rest of the summer. Basically I just need to go to an interview at the place and I'll get the job soon It's a company my parents work for and my sister has worked for them in the past and they REALLY need people to fill that position. As in, I would start working soon after my interview on Monday. It will be 9-5 in an office so I won't have as much free time as I used to. So... it's very possible updates will take longer to happen or will not happen at all until I can get back to school. I feel really bad doing this but I have to make sure I can do this job and take care of some other responsibilities that I used to have more time for.
Of course it might turn out later that I have more time than I realized to work on stories and spend time with my family outside of work but I'm basically giving the worst-case-scenario.
Now to some very specific Bronies I have agreed to do projects with:
Bronysins: I will do what I can to get the voices done ASAP. I still have tomorrow free so I will do as much as I can.
Henry Anthony Courtler: since we usually worked on "Notes" in the evening things shouldn't change that much. We'll try to continue working on it as normal.
RainbowDashian: I am still intending to do a collab story with you.
And before anyone can even think it: No, I am not having trouble because I am working on or planning to work on other projects... seriously, the imaginary friends who help me think up chapters for "Fighting Smoke" just aren't talking to me....
...I'm joking...
Except that really does describe it best... You know what I mean?
...right?
...
...
...
....I think I'm going to find a statue garden to wander in...
No... Fighting Smoke tomorrow? Awww...
I was looking forward to that... Ah well, if it means good writing, I can wait.
What has been done, I have seen![:yay:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/yay.png)
228860 I know... I feel like trash for doing that but I honestly don't see how the chapter will actually mean anything. It made my story waaaaaaaaaaay too dark for even me. It's a chapter I felt guilty about after writing it.
Sorry...
Will you take this trollestia as a consolation?![:trollestia:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trollestia.png)
Good luck with the interview and if you get the job, I hope it goes well.
Have a good one.
228865![:twilightsmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsmile.png)
The only consolation I need is a new chapter at some point that's just as good, if not better, than the previous chapters
And if it takes a little longer, well, that's okay.
I know what you mean... to dark to write... I have that problem on a fic I'm working on myself... It's so hard to find the right ballance :<
As a big fan of yours, let me state this;
While I was always impressed and pleased at the speed at which you worked, I had a strong inclination it couldn't last forever, so I'm not dissapointed that the flow might slow down here.
And, I understand what you're talking about. I've been failing to launch on one fic because I couldn't get one stupid scenario figured out that was the lynchpin of the entire story. Hard work comes through, but we're artists. And the imaginary friends line? That actually makes sense. When I write, I give each character a little home in my head, and I call them out whenever I have them in a scene. It's a little more abstract than that but that's the best description.
Even so, it's a shame to hear you're getting so busy and won't have as much time for writing. I just hope you don't work yourself too much trying to work a job and please your fans.
228867 Thanks!![:pinkiesmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiesmile.png)

228877 Thanks for understanding![:pinkiesmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiesmile.png)
228881![:twilightblush:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightblush.png)
Um... O...kay.
228865 Aww, don't do that to yourself!
You're the artist, it's your judgement and your vision, and if the chapter isn't working then don't compromise. It's not easy, I know, to feel like you're letting us down by not posting. Besides, I DEFINITELY don't want you to feel GUILTY about what you write.
228886 oh and take this trollestia too
hee hee hee.

Do not fret. it is internet art.![:moustache:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/moustache.png)

wat
228909 you know I don't think even Pinkie Pie would get that....![:rainbowhuh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowhuh.png)
228929 All it says is that I Understand...It's a statement of neutral comprehension. The fact that it is juxtaposed with a smiling pear is what baffles you.
228932 WHY DOES THE PEAR HAVE TEETH???![:raritycry:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritycry.png)
(side note: you have no clue how much I am laughing right now)
228942
ummm....I think I have a pretty good idea of how much you're laughing.
You smile in a way that tighens your cheeks to the point of forming dimples.
You sway a little to the left, then the right while using your hand to sorta cup your mouth and pushing your hair out of the way.
228960 ehh...kinda. except I double over instead of sway, dimples kinda form but not that much, I actually close my eyes when I laugh hard, and my hair is not yet long enough to push out of the way (about 2-3in. off my shoulders) but....close...ish
*looks at picture again*
you know this wouldn't be half as funny if I wasn't a little sleepy...
228987
how 'bout this

228993 ....nope. I think the pear even tops that....
*goes back to staring at pear![:rainbowhuh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowhuh.png)

229004 ....nope.... *stares at the pear*![:rainbowhuh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowhuh.png)
I understand. Just one question. Does your summer job involve baking.![:trollestia:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trollestia.png)

229024 lol. yeah I kinda wish they had chatrooms here...but that would definitely overload their servers.
229030
*thinks for a second*
"Wait wut, there is a chat isn't there?"
*Scrolls to top*
"There is!"
*Strokes partial mustache in success*
229034 true... but...must sleep before pears eat me....![:rainbowhuh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowhuh.png)
