    Her Way With Words Chapter ... 11? Yup!

    New Year's Surprise for you! An extra chapter of Her Way With Words!

    I mention in the Author's Notes for the chapter as well, but I had the idea for a sequel to HWWW involving Sunset Shimmer and the Shadowbolts. A full sequel was too much to do in the time that I had, but I managed a oneshot that basically covers the broad strokes of what I would have done in this hypothetical sequel.

    Commission Update: Leatherbound Shadows Will Not Be Finished

    I talked to the commissioner and they have lost interest in continuing Leatherbound Shadows, and as my December 31st deadline is fast approaching, it's just as well. Its unfortunate, and I feel bad that things shook out this way, but there's nothing I can really do to change it now. It's always been work for pay, and if there's no pay, there's no work. Simple as that.

    Her Way With Words Final Chapter Live

    Ten chapters, over a year since the start of it, almost to the end of this year and just barely scraping by in before New Years, its the final chapter of Her Way With Words! Come! Celebrate! Grab a beer! Sigh lovingly at the screen as you wish Adagio Dazzle (or some reasonable real life equivalent) would do that to you! Or is that last one just me?

    Her Way With Words Update

    I don't really need to say more than that at this point, do I?

    EDIT: WAIT, YES I DO

    Chapter Update: Moonlight Scales: Sidewinders

    The next and final chapter of Moonlight Scales should be up.

    This will be the final chapter of Moonlight Scales I write, and I'm somewhat regretful that I couldn't get to Celestia and Luna for the commissioner, but we've talked and they're interested in finding someone else to pick up where I left off.

TL: DR Update · 11:24pm Aug 13th, 2019

I was gonna make a long, rambling post about STUFF but you know what, you don't know need to know that, so here's the highlights:

  • Sleeping on a choppy bed most of the summer
  • Resenting that I'm still writing fanfiction instead of focusing on my own novels
  • Wrote two commissions recently that did not meet their requirements which just made me resent the idea more
  • About to head back to college and resenting that I didn't write more for coms during the summer
  • Really want to 'retire' for good this time by the end of the year and never, ever, let the words "Twilight Sparkle," "Pinkie Pie," or "Fluttershy" ever appear in one of my word documents ever, ever again, but I don't know if I could write everything that's in my queue by that time. Considering options.

Sounds Like your In some Heavy Frustration. I Hope things get better for you. God bless your Heart.

Perhaps you just need a break from writing this stuff, from my experience trying to force these things only makes it worse.

What I would recommend is this: make a post stating you will not be taking commissions for a while. Take a break from writing until you find your muse again, and, like the previous guy said, don't try to force it.

No point in burning yourself out.

Just advice, take it as you will.
