    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 · 6:05pm Mar 2nd, 2022

Hello every-pony. It's been a while since my last update, so let me fill you in on some of the details. I'm still stuck on Chapter 7. There is this long section I need to finish, but it feels like it's taking forever to write it. What frustrates me is that I have finished the rest of the chapter; it's just this one section I have left to write. Then I can get down to the business of editing the blasted thing. At the moment, the word count sits at 16,200 words over 33 Word pages. I expect to cut that down during the editing process.

On a brighter note, I commissioned SpokenMind94 (who is responsible for the comic version of "Past Sins" to illustrate a picture for the new chapter. It depicts a small scene from Chapter Seven. You can consider it a sneak peak, if you like.
