I haven’t stopped writing all day.

Now I’m kinda freaking out a little bit.

Still got to edit a lot of it and get it through the prereaders, but…it’s done.

I actually can’t believe I’m typing that. I really cannot believe it.

Got a load done today, estimate is around 80-85% complete now. Just up to the climactic scenes. Gonna do a load of editing for certain across the whole chapter, straighten it out, find out where the divisions are for segmented release. (Even if in separate posts, it’ll all be released on the same day, no worries!)

Release date is still this month. So that means within the next two weeks.

Date once I get to the end and know the editing task.

Hey all,

Last few weeks have been slow for me, thanks to Bronyscot (Thanks to everyone who came out to the writing workshop, and for the wonderful comments about feeling you got something from it! Thanks also to the two guys who read MN7 and wanted to say hi. That was amazing to experience!) and family requirements. So not a huge amount of progress given I can’t write during the week at the moment. (Crunch time in the gaming industry sucks the big one sometimes.)

However.

I got a ton done this weekend! Needs a lot of editing, but at least its down. Write drunk, edit sober as they say. (Not literally, please!) The chapter is written up to just before the beginning of the final sequence of the entire story now.

…that is a terrifying thought to write down and realise. Ye gods.

Estimate is 70%, not-counting editing.

Hey all, the promised podcast is up. Isiah has me on as a guest to talk Fallout Equestria, writing techniques, behind the scenes on MN7 and about various other topics including Season 6, stories about my time working with Bethesda and about the Fallout Equestria game. It's a solid length and I had an absolute blast recording it.

Hey all, I’ve been asked to be a featured guest on the next FOE Talk Podcast episode, and the creator is looking for what kind of subjects you’d like to see discussed on the show regarding FOE, FOE Stories, Storytelling or MN7, and what kind of questions you’d like to see (Or Isiah, the host, of course) answered on air.

Hey folks.

Update, Prereaders have completed their run, I am now into adding their feedback edits into the chapter.

Looking good! Shouldn't be too long.

Hey all, good news! Writing is complete on Chapter 29, I'm just entering into the editing phase now and handing it out to prereaders.

I'll keep you all updated, cos of course, editing will be intense this close to the end!

Sorry if anyone got repeat instances of the chapter going up in their alerts, was messing around with editing to correct some errors and made a mistake!

- Fuzzy

Hey folks, great news! The actual writing was complete a few days ago and it is now in pre-reader and editing hands.

I’ll see how the initial feedback goes to see if it’s just minor changes or any major rewrites, but we’re in the home stretch for next release!

Chapter 26…and Chapter 27 are now fully written

Wait, 27? What?

Well, part of why this took longer is that I was retooling the Part 1 and Part 2 into separate chapters. I just didn’t feel that they were working together, simply due to length. So now we will have:

Chapter 26 - The Battle of Fillydelphia - Part 1
Chapter 27 - The Battle of Fillydelphia - Part 2

Hey guys,

Following on from my decision to write 26 Part 2 before Part 1 goes out, I have been making excellent progress. It is around 60% complete, with only the climax left to write...and it's a big one.

All is going well! I'm not going to give dates or times because life has taught me that they are next to impossible to predict. But we are making steady progress that is accelerating every time I write. (Ends of chapters always have that "Let's do iiiit!" boost to them)

Hey folks,

Chapter 26 part 1 is complete.

Chapter 26 part 2 is about 30% complete.

I'd release part 1, but I'd rather have them closer together. I'm sure you all understand! Just wanted to keep you all aware!

Well, as you all know, I was having a slow period due to work rush at the end. Overall I got more done than I thought I would at this time of year with this much work going on all around it. The last few weeks have been the slowest yet for it but the ones before I got up to around that previously mentioned 55% mark so…yay? By my estimate may be off the harsh schedule at work by 6th January, so we’ll see!

Hey folks,

Just a heads up, I'm setting a tentative January release time for the next chapter. Likely second half of the month.

Work gets ultra busy for me this time of year in my industry. Couple with holidays taking time and, well, you guys know the score.

Significant increase in chapter quality this week. Remember all I talked about last week? I did a bunch of editing on those scenes and they are vastly vastly stronger than they used to be. One event in particular I’m very pleased with.

Hey folks,

Had a health issue (more detail here) thats held back writing a bit, but we're still firmly in business, Doc's given me some anti-inflammitories that should help. Typing feels much easier now compared to being completely unable in the last couple days, using a mouse is a nightmare but typing has no pressure on my wrist directly.

Sunday Night Writing Update

Hey folks,

Progress was made this weekend, as usual. I didn’t write on the Saturday because I had to go visit my new nephew in hospital. Three days old!

Got back into it today on Sunday and made up for the lost ground. The initial act of the chapter is complete now, putting us at approx 30% done. 20% gain from last week.
