Chapter 10 Update

Happy Spring, every-pony! Well, the eclipse happened over where I live, and I got to witness it! I must say, the corona of an eclipse is much brighter than pictures can convey. The darkness itself was fascinating, like evening coming early, and we heard crickets start their chorus. We can only speculate what their reaction to daylight five minutes later was. And Venus was clearly visible

Chapter 10 Update

March Madness is here, every-pony! And with it comes an update to my progress with "The Sixth Alicorn." I have finished writing Chapter 10 long hand, and it stretches out to 5744 words over 21 and a half pages. It's certainly much shorter than my previous chapters, but don't worry; chapter 11 looks like it will be much more substantial, from what I have planned. I'm in the process of typing

Not dead! Chapter 10 update

Hi every-pony, I thought I should check in with all of you, since it's been a while since I provided any updates. As some of you may know, I lost my job in October of last year, and have been job hunting ever since. No luck yet, but it's not for lack of trying! I've been focused mostly on resolving that hiccough in my life, so you may well understand why I haven't been able to update. I've

Chapter Nine Uploaded!!!

Happy Nightmare Night, every-pony! Good news, I have finally posted chapter nine of The Sixth Alicorn! Final word count comes to 12,287, clipped from the initial 13,809. It took a long while to get this chapter written. Not only was this due to the usual travails of writing, but I had a number of personal setbacks to go through (such as getting terminated from my job!), as well as

Nightmare Night, here comes something sweet to bite!

Happy Nightmare Night weekend, every-pony! I have a treat coming up for you all. Chapter Nine of "The Sixth Alicorn" is entering it's final stage. I'm going through my final read-through of it at present. That should take a few more days. Look for the chapter update either on Mischief Night or Halloween itself, which I think you will find perfectly apt, given the sort of story I am writing,

Chapter 7 update, October · 4:31am Oct 2nd, 2021

Hello every-pony! October is upon us, so I thought it might be a good time to provide an update on Chapter 7. I'm still working on the rough draft. Right now, it's running 10,129 words, over thirty-eight pages of notebook paper! And I still have more to do. And it is handwritten, so that means I will need to go back and type it all back up later. I hope to at least have it typed before the end of October. I can tell already that a good deal of revision is in order for it. I was hoping for a Halloween release, but it looks like it'll probably be done by November. I should have it up before years end, at any rate.

It's been a bit hectic these last couple of months. I've had a case of writers block for several weeks, which has contributed to the delay. I also got over an illness recently. It was a sinus infection, not Covid-19 thankfully. (Yes, I've had my vaccination done as well.) Still annoying to have to contend with, but it's normal for me this time of year. I also have a job, so a lot of my time is occupied. But I try to at least write a page a day if I can (about 250 words).
