    Story Promoting: Celestia Cannot Sleep

    Hey, guys! Have I got a story for you!

    Like a fic. Not like, a personal anecdote. That sort of story.

    And it's not really my story, so obviously understanding "got" in its most colloquial sense. Well, the broad colloquial sense, not the common "Have I got a story for you" meaning that I'm about to tell you the story. What I'm actually going to do is link you to the story and--

    Well, it looks like everything still works. Let's see if I remember how to do this.

    The Travels of A Hat

    So I guess I am going to San Diego Comic Con in about 10 days? Just for Sunday (7/27), but still. Any thoughts/suggestions/must see events or people anyone would like to suggest? I've been too intimidated to even look at the programming because I've been told that the only way to get into any panel is to line up several hours in advance. I should really change that. Oh, and for that matter,

    Summer and the Curse of Chapter 2

    No, that's not the title of my new middle-grade novel (although maybe it should be, it's kind of a great title).

Ahoy there! Update off the port bow! · 9:41pm Jul 22nd, 2012

Yeah okay I'm terrible at nautical references. Let's move on.

Apologies for the long delay on chapter 2 of In Search of Lost Friends. I was legitimately held up for the first 4 or so weeks as I said, then this past month I've just sort of zoned out. Well, I was travelling for a fair bit of that time, but my fingers weren't exactly broken. A few things have gotten done but not really enough.

One thing that did happen was that I was convinced to end Chapter 2 earlier than I intended, mainly to stop it becoming monstrously long. So it's actually done at the moment, barring editing. If I can shave like, 1k words off that'd be nice... I really feel bad about writing almost 10k chapters. Either way it's going up before I leave for Otakon, so next 3-4 days.

Speaking of chapters that are too long, update will include a new opening scene for Chapter 1. I feel I kind of copped out by not actually having the scene with Granny Smith where Twilight initially freaks out. It was possible to get the idea by just diving into the second scene, but I'm not sure it was as effective/clear, so I'm gonna write that.

Also the other upside to breaking up chapter 2 is that chapter 3 should take less time. I'm seriously gonna try to finish this before the end of summer, so wish me luck.

...I'm also gonna try to learn to write blog posts that are actually entertaining at some point. Have Scissor Sisters music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUej6bBDhzw

.... Okay I should really not post a song where the chorus goes ♫ This is the land of a thousand words / but it seems so few are worth the breath to say ♫. I can fit nine of those into a chapter... <_< >_>

I don't know, I found that last bit pretty entertaining.
