Well, that took forever.

Wow.

I know.

Almost half a year.

I know!

And haven't you had the first half of it sitting around up here ever since your last blog post?

I KNOW!!!

*sigh* Look, I'm really sorry everyone. School hit me harder this semester than I thought it would. On the bright side, I only have Finals left to do, and those are going to be surprisingly easy this time around. After that, I've got a very light course load for the summer, followed by a semester where I'll be taking a creatve writing class, which will help me with my writing and with keeping this in mind.

Hopefully. (Don't hold your breath.)

Oh, be quiet. Anyway, part of the reason this took so long was that I had put zero thought into how I wanted to deal with Manehattan other than getting Coco onto the team. That's why even now it seems a little chopped together. Probably my worst chapter to date.

Thankfully, all this time NOT WRITING has given this guy plenty of time to think about what he wants to do in Hollow Shades and Cloudsdale. Vanhoofer, Tall Tale, and Las Pegasus are a little iffier, but at least he has a good buffer now.

And I don't plan on doing much in those areas, anyway. Which means that I'll be able to move through them in a chapter or two total and finally finish up this tour in Canterlot just in time for a certain wedding to go off the rails.
