    Golly!:Chinese Translation

    Disharmony Tree has taken the effort to translate my story, Golly! Into Chinese.

    I've read the Chinese version (translated back to English, thank you Google) and I love it.

    I've added a link to the story description for all who are interested.

    Sequel?

    Hm...

    There may be something in the works. Maybe.

    It might have something to do with a certain pesky pegasus filly and her stress-case alicorn rival. Do you guys want to see what happens?

    Discord (Server, Not the Character)

    Howdy, folks.

    I figure since I'm (kind of) back in the writing game, I might as well post a link to my Discord server. Why?

    • It's a way for you to remind me to get off my rear and get to writing
    • It's a way for you to suggest a story idea and ensure I actually see it
    • It's a way to potentially get a sneak-peak at unpublished stories or chapters and provide feedback

    What Should I Do?

    Okay, I have a problem.

    As I mentioned last week, Knighty was able to restore the first story I started writing: The Final Element. It's definitely rough, but it has a special place in my heart, and I actually progressed the story a fair bit before I put it on hiatus for a rewrite. Then I took notes for the rewrite and deleted the original story so I could write the new version.

    THANK YOU so much!

I Haven't Stopped Writing! · 9:37am Jan 23rd, 2020

Okay, we've seen this before. I knock out a chapter or two, then disappear for a year.

Don't worry! Not yet, anyway.

I'm actually between 1/2 and 1/3 of the way done with the next PonyFall chapter. I just seem to have forgotten how dialogue works. The chapter requires a decent amount of back-and-forth between serious and silly, and every time I go back and read what I wrote, it's like I just let auto-fill do the character's dialogue. Stilted, unrealistic. Yeah, yeah I'm writing about magical ponies being transported to Earth and all, but I do have standards when it comes to my own writing. It would completely suck for those of you still reading this for the wait to have not been worth it at all, so I'm going to get it right.

I'd love to say that after this chapter I'll do another Lyra's Ultimate Item Emporium chapter, or that I'll finish Ever After Never Came, which is the sequel to Imaginary. But I'm not making a promise I can't keep, so I'll make the effort to keep writing and, hopefully you all will let me know what you think. Deal?

Love to all,
Slorgy
