So the latest chapter is nearing completion. I suspect it will be ready to be posted by the end of the month at the latest. After the chapter is posted I will be going on hiatus to work on personal projects. (Making my own visual novel.) I'll keep posting updates, but that will mostly be just so you lot know I'm still kicking. If there's interest I'll post some stuff about the VN. Thank you for your patience, and for sticking with this story for so long.

Recently went to a memorial for one of my parents, so I've been in a very bleh state. So not a lot of writing. No promises of any happening soon either I'm afraid. Sorry guys.

Sorry for the tardiness but I hurt my back at work and that threw me for a loop.

So, last time I wanted to write enough to get the story to the point where I could start editing. Did that happen?

No, no it did not. However, I've been able to bash my head against that particular writer's block and get roughly halfway through the chapter. So, we're going to try this again, and whatever happens, progress will be made.

This is one of those grody chapters to write, where every sentence is a pain and a half to get down. Still, such is life.

So some good news, I finally got my work computer up and running. So I'm going to be writing with a bit more consistency. Honestly, I'm going to try to have the chapter ready for editing at the end of the month. So hopefully I can get that out on time.

In other news for Not So Bold, I'm going to be continuing that story though not for a while. I plan on writing large sections out first to get the entire plot and do scheduled uploads multiple times a week once the sections are finished.

So, work is kicking off into high gear for me and I'm getting a lot of asks on my free time. However, I should have access to a personal work computer soon so that will help immensely in getting my own projects done. Also, I'm writing but the scenes are in farther off chapters. So... progress?

on the Not So Bold story front, I'm working on getting that sequence edited and plan on picking it up again at a later date. Not sure when, but I plan to. will have more info in a month or so.

Another month, another update. I'm getting some extra time off soon so I'm hopefully I'll be able to get some writing done this month. We'll see.

Also, been playing the shit out of Elden Ring. So flip a coin.

I got a small amount of writing done. Not nearly as much as I would have liked, but progress is progress. It's the interaction between Troy and Twilight that's tripping me up, once I get through that things will likely pick up.

Welcome to 2022, the year Soylent Green was set in. Let that sink in.

Moving on, I've had some progress with the story, but I will admit, the entire concept of getting 'the twilight scene' out and right has become a rather daunting writer's block. I'll chip away at it, but work has picked up and I'm fairly tired most days so I haven't had it in me to work on it. Still, I'll try to at least get a thousand words more into the story before the next update.

Not a lot of progress last month. Work picking up again and some medical issues taking up my time. All that said let's get on to the recommendation.

Superworld

SUPRISE NOT AN ISEKAI THIS TIME!
Don't fret, I'm sure we'll get back to formula soon. Anyway, ON TO THE STORY!

Work's picking up, and things keep trickling through. Progress has been made but not in a major way. Still gonna take a while. Now on to the recommendation.

Only Villains Do That
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/40182/only-villains-do-that

So, as we've established I'm a huge fan of isekai, something that has really tired out audiences in general or at least a decent portion of them.

Slight progress on the fic was made, just not on this chapter, rather stuff down the line. I think many of you will enjoy what I have in store.

Now for this month's recommendation
Vaudevillain
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/32983/vaudevillain

A story in which a man realizes his childhood dream of being a Saturday morning cartoon villain. Mustache twirling included.

Some minor edits and changes, but no major progress as I currently have a lot of IRL things up in the air. Gonna try to get at it more consistently, however.

Now for the recommendation
CHRYSALIS
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/22518/chrysalis

Anyone heard of Isekai?
Anyone ever hear of LitRPG?
Anyone heard of being reborn in another world as a monster?

Yes?

Are you tired of it yet?

Mostly?

Fair. But this one is worth a look.

So I'm going to be moving either this month or next. Minor progress on the fic has been made, but I wouldn't expect much for the time being.

SO!

To tide you all over, I have some story recommendations I'm going to drop along with these monthly updates. They aren't pony-related but I guarantee they're a good time.

First up:
BEWARE OF CHICKEN

Not much in the way of progress has been made, I'm gearing up to move in August or September. So I have a lot of balls to juggle to be ready and prepare for my new job.

Don't expect much to happen for the next two months. Sorry, but life comes first.

Long story short, I'm likely going to be moving for a job in a month or two. I have to get confirmation, but this might just be my dream job.

Well, the writing contest has come to a close. Didn't make the cut, but writing 40k words in 5 weeks is nothing to sneeze at. Since I'm no longer focusing solely on that I can start writing the next chapter again.

Not much else to report. Keep on keeping on.

I'm going to try to do monthly updates while my story is still ongoing. Not gonna put a set schedule up for this but I'll try to pop these out every month to let you guys and gals know what's going on.

First off, you might have seen my name attached to a different story lately.

So as someone pointed out, an explanation for my absence and return is in order and I agree.

To be frank, I fell out of the MLP fandom and lost interest in writing the story.

Killed my motivation outright.

So some have asked for an update on when the next chapter of OtEaTtW is coming out and whether or not I'm still working on it.

first things first.
I am still working on it.
Yes, really, but there has been a huge gap between work sessions.
The reasons(read excuses) for the delay I'm back in school and it's really intense. I also fell out the mlp fandom for a while and am not up to date with a lot of episodes.
