    My Compromise to Myself

    So I mentioned before that I've been very tempted to completely re-write CotE. When I first started writing it, I didn't have a complete picture or direction to take it as it was simply a story that was supposed to be episodic and silly and a way for me to experiment and improve my writing. But then I got really, really attached to these characters and I started truly investing in the story,

    Where I've Been

    A new career, 2 major moves, and a whole host of other small problems adding up basically had me push writing to the sidelines for a bit. Yet, I've still been around writing down ideas I gained and how to implement them. If he wishes to, a buddy of mine on this site can attest to the amount of ideas and words I've thrown his way for his opinions. As things begin to settle down, I'm starting to

    An Update Long Past Due

    Been a long while, eh? It's been, what? since around February or so since I last updated CotE? Either way, waaaaayyyyyy longer than I've been hoping for. So what gives? Why the low amount of updates? Well, the news isn't all that great, unfortunately. To put it simply, throughout this and last year I've been in quite a bit of pain. Now, for the most part, this pain had been dull and on and off

    Arrival Reworked and Other Updates

    Hey all! Just want you all to know that I went back and edited and changed a couple of details in the chapter Arrival. Not so groundbreaking that it requires a re-read, but may be something to peak your interest while I work on the next chapter.

Quick Update · 9:34pm Oct 16th, 2019

BLUF: Been very busy. Lost some momentum. Next chapter just under 50% complete.

Last week I noticed how my last two chapters came out on the 17th of the month. I then tried finishing the current one to be ready October 17th to keep the pattern. Unfortunately, no such luck. A combination of being very busy and having all my momentum crawl to a halt has made it that I'm not even halfway done writing the next chapter. It's actually annoying me, because I have all the scenes in my head and I'm just struggling putting it down on paper. However, I do feel some of that momentum returning which will improve the rate I can write. To put in perspective, when I was at my peak I managed to write 5000 words in a single night. If I were to regain that, this chapter would be finish within a night. What this means is that I don't exactly have a timetable for when the next chapter comes out. If I stay at my current rate, it will be a while yet (which is something I want to avoid). If I can get back in rythm, it could easily be ready by next week.

The other problem that could cause delay is that my cousin (my editor) is becoming very busy himself and has very little time to look over my work. I'm aware that there is a group on this site if one needs an editor and I'll look into it if my cousin becomes completely unavailable. Speaking of my cousin, I actually got him to watch some of Tridashie's friendship is musical videos. That was something alright, hahaha. Though I think I broke more in the end than he did and I'm the brony! (He has no involvement in MLP outside editing my story.)

With all that said, I like to keep people up to date so if there is anything like a 3-4 week gap between chapters I'll be sure to let you all know what's up and how much progress has been made.
