Still a chapter and a half ahead on the buffer. Hmm. I need to pick up the pace and stop messing with holiday stuff! Arg. Anyway, Chapter 74 is very much written, and I'm moving on with 75. There's an actual end in sight now for the story. I don't anticipate seeing three digit chapter numbers unless I decide to lengthen something. The pace is also going to start quickening as more things start building up, like what happened with Memory Pending. Heh. This should be fun.

Short notice this time but due to a communication error, and my horrible memory, I thought I had already gotten 73 to my editor... when I in fact had not. I feel sort of stupid but I didn't get it to her until Wednesday this week, so this release might be delayed one or two days. It should be here this weekend, with luck. It's a big one at nineteen pages, however, so I'm not sure how long it will take her to chew through. I'll keep everypony informed as I know things! Sorry about this,

Hullo all! I'm pleased to note that Chapter 73 is very, very much done in time for this release, and I'm into Chapter 74 now. So I can consider this a 0.5 chapter increase in my buffer. Progress! Regardless, I hope everypony had a safe and fun fourth yesterday. Chapter 72 will be up in a few minutes now. Julia, my wonderful editor, convinced me that not much is lost from the censored variant, so I just bleached the scene in question and am only releasing it via normal chapter now. The

Woo! It's a little bit late, but Chapter 71 will be posted in a few minutes. I'm sorry for the delay. You still get Mender this week. And hey, Chapter 72 is written already! That means that all of these next two weeks writing gets contributed right into my buffer! Hopefully I'll be able to build my

Whoops. Okay, so it's a little bit of both our faults, but the chapter isn't back from my editor yet. I kinda got busy with 72 and forgot to get 71 to Julia until Monday. I'll hopefully get it back tonight, but I don't have it yet. Sorry everypony. :( It should be posted Saturday instead.

Ooooh, it's been a while since I've had an officially titled blog! Heh. Regardless, I think I've finally managed to recovery from the loss of data, and got the reminents of the chapter information built up again. That said, I'm ready to continue as per normal, increasing my pace again to build my buffer back up. The good news is, after recovering all the lost chapter information, I had enough written to complete Chapter 71, too! Heh. So I'm one up now on my buffer and hitting the ground

Well, I don't normally have to do this, but due to an editing delay, I'm going to have to bump back my release day this week to probably Saturday or Sunday instead. It's not back from the editor and proofreader yet, so I don't want to release the chapter without quality control! Much sincere apologies to all my readers.

Okay, so I got report back on my computer. Turns out it was the motherboard that was bad, not the GPU. They replaced it and the power supply, and are going to send it back to me next Tuesday, with what I assume will be normal shipping. Blarg. I might see the computer by the end of the month yet! Not in time for Watch_Dogs, but nothing I can do about that. Pity.

Okay, so a long story short, I've been having computer issues. I actually lost a good chunk of chapter 70 in the transfer, so it's behind again now. That, coupled with my depression phases, have slowed my writing down again. I've only gotten a chapter and a half ahead now due to the unfortunate loss of a chunk of 70. But that's not the reason for this blog post, however.

Waaaaaaaaah! It's been a rather hectic week and now I have a somewhat unexpected guest coming in a little while and so didn't give myself time for a release day. Sorry for not getting time to post before now. Real life keeps flattening me with a steam roller. Anyway, release 67 in a few minutes of course, and I have chapters done through sixty nine. My speed is picking up again now that I've hopefully gotten through this painful week. I'll try to respond to blog comments and PMs over the

Hmm, so the majority of you are okay with the delayed releases of every other week. This should also let me catch my buffer back up again, which I've already started progressing towards. Chapter 68 is now done for the most part, so I'll officially state that my chapter buffer is currently at 2. It needs to be at 7 or 8 in order for me to resume a weekly schedule. If on time, I assume this will take me about a month, to a month and a half to reach, provided nothing drastic happens. So, new

Okay, so I have done a lot of considering of it, and everypony's been really supportive of me, so I think I've finally come to a conclusion. I need to build my buffer of chapters back up after my shoulder/ear incident caused me to fall behind. Of course, that was what the buffer was for, obviously. It worked wonderfully. But now I need to re-stock it while I'm feeling better and in good health, so if I need it again, I can have it to fall back on. The amount of stock I'm aiming for before

Blarg. Had to get up super early this morning, and then I had insomnia last night, so I'm running on about an hour's sleep. I'll keep this short. I'm still sick. I think there's some sort of fluid buildup in my ears now, and I'm going to have to make a new appointment. My writing ability has slowed to a crawl due to feeling like crap, so as a heads up, I'm probably going to have to skip next week to try to catch up my buffer again and get new chapters back from my editor. I'm sorry,

Okay, so I still don't feel very good at all, but I'm going to release today's chapter anyway. Also, I've finally updated the database, so here's all the new entries too. No new picture of Ozy today however. I'm sorry! Oh, and 76 is done, but not in the database yet as I haven't touched it up entirely. Also, as everypony can probably see, I'm trying to slowly edge back on the chapter sizes to push them back down to sixteen or so pages each. That'll make it easier on me as well.

Okay, so released chapters are now within a single chapter of the proofreading progress. That makes me nervous, and I think I want to give my alpha and beta readers time to catch up with the buffer of chapters a bit, and for me to catch up adding more chapters to the buffer as well. Unfortunately, that means I'm probably not going to have a chapter to release tomorrow. Although that works out for the best for me, as I have to drive a ways tomorrow in order to go to the doctor. Apparently I

BLARG! Okay, so taking care of a puppy is really exhausting! I don't even have the energy to update the database today. Chapter 66 is written for the most part, but I want to touch up the ending to smooth it out a bit so I'll wait until next release anyways. Provided I don't sleep through next week and slip into a coma. Oh yeah, I also need to catch up my perpetually two chapters behind responses so I can actually post them all. Oh, and reply to all the PMs that I haven't gotten to in a

Zzzzzz..... Huh?! Wha?! Oh, right. Blarg. Chapter 62 will be up in a few minutes. Tired. This chapter's going to feel shorter compared to last release in contrast, and no clop this time. Heh. Not much more to say beyond that.

As for the reason I'm so tired and distracted? Here, have a picture: Ozy

Hullo again, all. It's that time of week once more. This time, those looking to Censorship Pending get a lovely treat of a thirty some page chapter. Heh. The reason it's so long is I filled it out to be normal chapter size for those not reading Censorship, so I apologize if you don't like HUGE chapters. Pretty sure those who read Censorship Pending know EXACTLY what's coming up. Not a huge amount more to say apart from that going up in a few minutes. My hand is healing nicely, now just a

Burn's still not in the best shape, so I'll have to keep this short. Blarg. Had to reply to all the super nice ponies last blog, though. Anyways, chapter 64 is done, and I'm over halfway through 65, which surprises me due to my recent damage. Regardless, both versions of chapter 60 shall be released in a few minutes, with some extra surprises! Time to dust off Censorship Pending, I guess....... Heh. Oh, and I've 'changed' chapters 60 and 61 in the listing, now. Obviously I can't link to

There was once a story about a little pony named Gear Butt. It was a dramatic story, full of both realisms and fantastic proportions, but Gear Butt had a problem. His life was a terrible series of misfortunes and accidents, generally spoiling any happiness he could ever achieve. His author had many reasons for doing so, of course, but never suspected the real truth.
