An Update Storywise · 10:36pm Sep 3rd, 2018
I wanted to come by to give you all an update on something.
I wanted to come by to give you all an update on something.
I thought I’d tell you all about what it is that’s being in store, as well as what’s happening with me.
Writing-wise, I’m still going strong with the next chapter of “From Repair to Despair”, but, I’m unfortunately going to be hitting a few road blocks along the way, mainly because I want to make sure the chapter is perfect, especially comedy-wise.
If anyone is interested, I just managed to make some more modifications to “A King’s Grand Entrance”, mainly because I noticed that there were still some past tenses that needed to be replaced with present tenses, to help the story give you the impression of what’s happening now rather than before. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect in terms of grammar and tense.
Also, I couldn’t help but feel curious, but...
Yes, I know I missed March, I'm sorry. So, I'll be covering two months this time.
First, my numbers for March:
8721 words for Friendship Rising
1023 words for The Sunset Also Rises: Holiday Specials
1016 words for The Love for Family, A oneshot set in Rose Quill's Homecoming Universe.
And that's all, totaling and 10760 words for March. A little over 10k words. So, less than half of February's count.
Now, this month, April:
3827 for Friendship Rising
Boy, have I got something big to tell you guys!
First off, yesterday, I had earned up to 100 followers on FiMFiction.net! Can you believe it?!
The credit for that goes to user Chill Sweet, whom I am extremely thankful for increasing the amount of followers I have to that very number. I hope to be forever worthy of that earn, and that I provide a good time for you, my friend.
But, anyway…
I decided to write another microfic for the RariJack prompt tag contest this morning.
3,000 words later, I realized it didn't actually count as a piece of microfiction at that point. And that's not including all the alternate endings that I wrote because I couldn't quite decide how to end it.
So the good news is I have a new story now.
Temptation
That's what you're probably asking me right now.
Rest assured, I'm still alive. I've just been performing some housekeeping: I finally can get rid of Windows 8 everywhere--now I'm just working on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. Even so, I've still had to reinstall all my apps (still needed to do that last week), as I got a great Google Drive client on the Windows Store with "native" Google Docs integration--sure, it's just the embedded Google Docs editor page, but it's good enough for me.
Words so far: 322
Paragraphs finished: 4
Chapter Completion: About 10 to 15%
Projected finish date: Late June to Early August
Oh man readers, I am bushed. Stuffed. Sapped. Exhausted. Wrung out. Conventions can take it out of you.
But it was so worth it.
Still, I’m just flat-out bedraggled. So there may be some typos in this post? Probably? I’m riding a bit of a sugar buzz at the moment, but I am also really tired. Like I-can-feel-this-pressing-at-the-back-of-my-eyes tired.
Hello all.
I spent some time today looking through the archive of my past blogs and marveling at how, once upon a time, I updated this thing somewhat regularly. (Also marveling at how foolish of a person I was ten years ago, but that's a story for another time.) Presently, I hold to the idea that I should only make a post here when there is something significant to say, but given the enthusiasm of the last post I thought it appropriate to provide an update on it.
Progress on next chapter of HMHS: ~38%
New oneshot I may or may not post: 40%
That's all I wanted to say, Captain signing off.
Hi all! Happy new year!!
Wow, another year already? And I’m only at 300k words? I really need to pick up the pace! I feel like such a sloth.
New Year’s Resolutions…
Publish original book(s)…
Write more in Rites in this year than I have to date…
Lose weight…
Keep my sleep schedule mostly stable…
Treat writing like my job…
Get a kitty…
Move into a new place with just me and my wife living there...
Yeah, aiming high with lots to do!
Weekly Reports have now been moved to my Tumblr. Because I do Tumblr now. It is going to be a much easier way of keeping everything managed. Having one central location for everything. Keeps me sane you know! Thanks for the understanding and here is the report:
I've been back at home for about three hours now. :) Just finished writing this up, so I'm posting it. Note that I wrote up each day after it had happened, then went back and maybe added some stuff in I forgot, so the timelines might be weird. Okay? Okay, let's go.
Good evening readers! Welcome to the LTUE Report for Day One!
First things first: For the last few weeks, I’ve been keeping something secret. Something that, after the official book launch for Trace the Stars, LTUE’s first benefit anthology of short stories, I can finally talk about, since it was announced at the launch.
Hey, look, it's the semi-monthly reminder that I still exist!
Sorry for the continued disappearing act; I think I can speak for everyone when I say the year so far has been absurd beyond our wildest expectations. Long story short, I got swept up in the wave and all my plans started eroding.
Progress on next chapter of HMHS: 42%, give or take. Sorry it's going so slow, I know what I want to happen but I don't know how to write my way there. It's very frustrating
Porno writefaggorty oneshot : ~50%
Chucked two Fallout crossovers into the works. I'm going to force myself to publish them later, after the next chapter of HMHS is done. Captain signing off.
I got back home from Trotcon about 5 hours ago, and I'm finally all settled in and catching up on all the music that came my way over the weekend. :) It was a good time. Let's tell a story. (It's gon b loooong)
Before I begin, I will say that I will not be talking about this week's episode. I can't trust myself to do it while sticking to my no spoiler policy. If you want an analysis go look up every other brony ever, after you watch the episode.
Well, let's see: I just received a notification saying that an user called Fluffyrescent added my Terror of the Flutterbat story to one of his libraries. Now, that wouldn't be exactly bad...
Except for the fact that the library is called Nonsense... And it has an image of Pinkie Pie angry...
Let's make things clear: I don't like people who downvote stories for no reason, as I already said on another blog post.
