Because I'm a workaholic and just 'cos · 11:15am May 7th, 2018

That is why. It's been that long since I've even logged on there is like 1513 thingies in my feed, and if I was a bird I would be concerned. Ugggh, yes, I'm that braindead that I thought that was funny...

Update! · 9:27am Jul 31st, 2017

Soooo...

Yeah, just 'cos I know whats going on doesn't mean everyone else does. Seems pretty straightforward, right? You would think so...
Right! So, the reason I haven't updated squat, or been doin' nothin' towards updating anyone is....

I got nothin'.

Update! · 9:24am Apr 18th, 2017

Wow! What an awesome first week! Just a bit of an update so you all know what to expect.

First up, the launch was a little poorly planned. I had a bunch of commitments that was always going to slow things down, like visiting the family over Easter and such.

But then, I never thought this story was going to be even remotely popular, let alone be featured...

First few days and loving it! · 8:43am Apr 12th, 2017

I've got SO much really good feedback from all of you, and it has been Awesome <3
I am learning a lot and really enjoying the process of figuring out what it is I am doing wrong, and working to fix my mistakes. Please, don't hold back on my part, and continue with your feedback! I'll only get better at compiling this story, and that means a better story all round.

Also, this happened.

The why and how of it. · 2:54pm Apr 10th, 2017

So, some of you may have noticed I went and dumped all seven chapters I had in my backlog all at once.

Strange? Yes. Insanity? Perhaps. Vegan? Probably not.

But all things are done with reason, even if they may at first appear nonsensical or outright random. Problem is I got knocked back on my first pass at getting the story published. Reason is, you see, there just wasn't enough pony.

... and so I bloody did it anyway · 1:09pm Apr 5th, 2017

Yeah, so I posted up the story earlier than I said I was going to.

Why? Because. It is kinda grating on me with how bloated it seemed, so I streamlined the hell out of it, and so I couldn't go back and bloat the hell out of it again, I sent it on it's merry way. Take THAT you over-editing jerk!

But yeah, it was getting too wordy, so I cut it back and set the standard to myself so now I have a pacing benchmark.

Writing from the male perspective · 12:33pm Apr 2nd, 2017

So this was always going to be a challenge. I'm putting a lot of effort into this and I hope that I'm doing it justice.
Some minor spoilers below so just FYI.

This new story will feature a male lead. This presents a number of issues for me, like style, action, behavioural aspects and language. I really want the reader to feel that they are approaching this from a male angle.

Half way to Half way! · 12:32pm Mar 29th, 2017

Woo! 5 Chapters down and half way through the first arc! And almost spot on 15 000 words, so my 30 000 word first arc goal is looking spot on! Yay me!

Editing · 4:29am Mar 26th, 2017

Let me just start off but saying HOLY CRAP!!!!

So in my second blog post that I know no one will read and for the most part is just a journal entry, I'm going to gripe about editing. So far I am doing all the editing by myself. Whilst I am consciously aware that this is a flawed plan, unconsciously I am loath to bring an editor on board.

The start of something new? · 10:43am Mar 22nd, 2017

I love Fanfiction. I've read it for years, and really enjoy what others have to offer. So when I decided to take the plunge and try my own hand at this, I guess that a fresh start and a new outlook were in order.
