    Unwilling change of plans

    People will quickly notice that the story 'Accepting Change' is on hiatus. I didn't want to do this. I very much wanted to complete it without any issues, and while I did slow down significantly, I still kept on trying... But... It really is far more than I was ready for.

    Accepting change - my decision for future

    I want to keep this short.
    The story will soon be one-third done... And I want to take a longer break to sort out a few things.
    My own amateurish choices are catching up to me and I have to fix it (like finally finishing the character list so that I don't have to re-read entire chapters when my brain 'decides' to just forget some things).

    Sorry for the wait

    Just a quick update, now that my arms are feeling better.
    Developed tendonitis in both arms two weeks ago so writing has been immensely slow. I blame Thrill of the Fight on VR and my work for it but no matter. I am feeling better lately and the chapter is about halfway done.
    I'll try to get the chapter out by the end of next week.

    Still alive

    Just... Not doing too well.
    Taking new medication and it's sapping me in more ways than one.
    I am pissed off at how it's affecting my life with the side effects (again), but it's helping me.
    The writing has gotten too slow for my liking though...
    I don't like sharing things like this, but you all at least deserve to know why nothing has been posted in over a month now.
    Im sorry.

    A section finished and a small break

    The second (or third, depending on how you look at it) section of my story is, at last, finished. I apologize for the delay.
    I have been feeling rather exhausted over the last week and it, unfortunately, started affecting my motivation to write. Just need some rest and I'll be right as rain.
    Now, on to the reason for this blog.

A section finished and a small break · 9:56pm Aug 23rd, 2022

The second (or third, depending on how you look at it) section of my story is, at last, finished. I apologize for the delay.
I have been feeling rather exhausted over the last week and it, unfortunately, started affecting my motivation to write. Just need some rest and I'll be right as rain.
Now, on to the reason for this blog.

It has been bugging me for a while now, but I have found myself constantly looking over previous parts of my story in order to check a few things here and there just so I can keep things straight (fur colour, behaviour, etc). It is annoying, to say the least, especially with my lack of experience with storytelling, and, well, it's time I fixed this.
I'll be taking a small break (a month at the most I hope), to sort everything out, run over my story a few times and maybe even smooth some things out (I'm fairly happy with how I did it so far, but there is always room for improvement), as well as fix the blunder I put myself in.
And just to quell any fires before they start, the story WILL continue. I fully intend to finish it, but as I said, it is a learning process for me (and I am a slow learner I'm afraid). I mentioned it in a few comments but I'll confirm it here for everyone's sake: this story will go until Nightmare Moon's return, the Ponyville Summer Sun Celebration, and the return of the Elements. After that, I am not certain. I always did have an 'idea' of a sequel but... eh, I'll see when I get there. I'll probably do it just cause I really like telling stories (even though I am a fairly messy writer if anyone asked me).
In either case, I'll see you all soon.
Have a pleasant day, everyday.
