Always the hardest...

Twelve and a half years ago, a pure white cat walked into my life and front door. She had six kittens in tow and eight more inside her. She was hungry and needed love. I gave her all she could ever want. Six months later, when the second litter was just starting to ween, her lungs nearly failed. For twelve years, every three days I gave her medication. She thrived and returned the love given. She

Coping of a Former Human Removed (Deleted)

Today, I have removed the "A Deer Named John" companion piece "Coping of a Former Human" from my published stories list. I've been considering this action for a long time (years) and have finally made the move. The reason being that it doesn't easily fit with what I have planned moving forward with its group of stories. Those stories I still want to write, just they now no longer have the weight

State of the next chapter

Have spent part of this week nibbling away at what could be considered the cold opening of the next chapter, which wasn't originally planned for. The fun of adjusting the end of the previous chapter. Reviewed the overall notes as well and am currently dealing with an issue which would have become a plot hole in about eight or ten chapters time so doing best to plug it before that can happen.

It is finally here!

It is here. It is FINALLY here! Approximately two years from the date I was originally aiming for and on a date I otherwise wouldn't have but the distraction is very welcome. The new chapter is finally out of my hands!
As the author's notes say at the end of the chapter:

When more John? Hopefully very soon - Updated. · 6:41am Feb 4th, 2020

I would like to order one less drama filled life to go, please and thank you.

Have solved some issues with my non-MLP writing and will let it rest a bit. Now I need to unwind from a very crazy day which has seen me in the right place at the right time a few times. Now very tired but am looking forward to focusing on John again for a decent while. Barring anything else the world would like to throw my way, I should only have a few interruptions in the next few days before being able to sit down and get John moving again.

Thank you so much for all your patience and help,

Tael.

Update - I have been putting together things for the next chapter. Have settled on the P.O.V. character. Annoyed I haven't started it yet, but with good reason. Have been developing things for Main Arc 3 and solidifying the main storyline up until the end. Still some unknown things in Side Arc 2 but those will come eventually.

And, looks like getting everything noted for Main Arc 3 has given me a minor mental burnout. Have tried to work on the next chapter a few times today, but just isn't working. Was just too busy the days it was working in my mind to get any writing done. It will get there, just need to get my mind back to where it needs to be.
