Study of a Winning Pony Chapter 32 off to prereaders. · 10:40am Mar 25th, 2016
So I have some good news.
I've finally finished the writing portion of Study of a Winning Pony.
Now there is still the not-so-minor fact I need to edit it all and then post it up here, but hey, this is a big step towards putting the complete tag on this story. I'm certainly thrilled by this considering how long and hard I've been working on this story.
That does bring up what I'll be doing next, of course. I'll be giving a more detailed follow-up post later this weekend on what I'm thinking of getting up to, but for now I'm 4,000 words into a guest chapter for Tales From the Phoenix Empire. After that, I'm thinking of doing a short story with Midnight Sparkle called something like The Great Snowball War for a nice slice of life comedy story to give all of you some Midnight while I start prep work for the next proper Midnight's Shadow story.
Today feels good.
Obligatory:
I can agree that it's a great feeling to finally be near the end of something you've worked on for years. I'm curious, just how long ago did you start writing Study?
Congratulations. :)

If memory serves, I started it in August 2012, with me posting the first chapter in October 2012.
3825882 Neat! So you'll have been writing this for almost 4 years! And I thought my 2 year project felt long...

Oh this has been a long time coming. And I'm really super happy to be finishing it up. In no small part because this is going to let me write new things with all the experienced I gained from writing Study. Considering this was my first story I've ever written, mistakes were made, lessons learned, and I like to think I'm becoming a better writer as a result. I'm certainly looking forward to what I've got planned for the future.
Man, that's fantastic! Congrats!

By the third day of war the rivers ran red... and white from all the discarded candy canes.
Congrats on another story under your belt
Hope Twilights planning one hell of a closing.
"And in conclusion, I've found Cloud to be crass, obnoxious, the poorest choice in personal behavior Ive seen... and a good friend. I've spoken with numerous other clan ponies, her mother a particulary delight, and aside from Cloud her sire, the pater Tornado, is the most stable of them all. And to his credit, he raised a wonderful mare. And yet for as loving and lovely as she is, trouble just tags along as she goes, sending everyones life around her acropper. Heaven knows she's helped certain things in my life come to light...
Cloud Kicker, the Winning Pony... an absolute thorn in my side, and a good friend. And that's two you owe me Luna... one for the Nightmare, and the other for assigning me the joyful duty of bringing Cloud into my life... but good news, the bits she's had to put into her Pissed off Duchess for Another Innapropiate Story, Joke, Innuendo, or Getting Caught Again In A Corner Snogging Some Mare In a Corner of Golden Oaks jar has already paid for that First Edition Clover the Clevers Treatise on Ethics in SpellCraft. I literally had to wait two days before it was filled.
Your faithful friend,
Twilight Sparkle."
All silly of course... it wouldn't two days for it to fill. I'm a Cloud fan, but boy does she drop kick hornets nests into her friends lives.
