I have the honor of being chosen for this week's addition to the Royal Canterlot Library, for my story A Wake of Mist and Flame. Thanks to Vimbert for nominating it — I think you were a one-pony cheering squad for this story ever since I first posted it.

Happy Holidays, everypony!

My gift to all of you is the next chapter of A Wake of Mist and Flame.

What's that? I didn't make a post when I published the first chapter? It seems I've been remiss. Terribly sorry about that. I'm rubbish when it comes to self-promotion.

It seems I'm still incapable of writing without some form of external goad. So I've got another Beeminder goal set up for draft 3 of WoMaF, since that worked well for the first two drafts.

Well that took a little longer than expected. But it's done.

I got lots of great feedback from my pre-readers. Now it's on to draft 3. Fortunately there's only two areas which need significant re-writing.

The new beeminder goal for the second draft is up. Hope to have this pass done in a week or so.

The rough draft of my next story is complete! 12,466 words. Anypony want to be a pre-reader?

I'm using Beeminder to track my writing, and hopefully give me the incentive to finish my current story. If you want to follow along and track my progress you can see how many words I write a day here: heliopause writing

Right now I have it set so if I don't write 1000 words/week, I have to pay $5. It's a bit of a low hurdle; I'm starting safe.
