A New Year and a Re-titling. · 11:34am Jan 8th, 2016
In short, Life on the Line is now Life in the Fast Lane and I'm cautiously optimistic about the new year.
In long...
Life on the Line made a lot more sense when I had a game plan. Unfortunately, the one thing I'm still incapable of is keeping it simple. Now that the story's grown I have less of a focus on just Life and more of a focus on involving the secondary characters to a greater extent. That's not to say that things won't still affect Life, far from it. I'd even say things will have a greater impact as ponies he knows and loves go through their own battles around him. Life has changed a lot since LCBAD and that's one thing I didn't expect (at least not to this degree). He's less the shy, awkward doormat and more outspoken and willing to stand up for the ones he cares about.
In a way, Life's struggles are not unlike my own. 2015 was a great year for me, all things considered. 2016 is a lot more uncertain. Like I said above, I'm cautiously optimistic. Maybe more cautious than optimistic. When it comes to fimfiction, I think I can safely say Life in the Fast Lane will probably be my last Life Story...story, but we'll see.
