So that Pony Wars project that I’m posting the character backstories for: That’s a project trying to make a new setting for people to create stuff for. While I was initially brought in to help with some of the worldbuilding, I’ve since turned into the lead author for it. (right now the *only* author for it, but that’s another issue) Dratta Arcana is the project lead, and he wants people to make their own stories, or art, or whatever for the setting. “Like Fallout Equestria” he’s said

I’m still here.
I’ve just had nothing to say.

Oh, The Mask of Despair is no longer my second-most popular story. Broken Wings and Mending Hearts has stolen that spot. Both still only have about one third the views of The Alicorn Limit.

I have something of a confession to make.

I’m not done with The Ash of Fallen Stars. Oh, I’ve marked it as complete, and it’s reached *an* end. When I first started to post it I had 19 weeks before I was going to post the last chapter. I thought that was plenty of time to add more. Oh, silly me. Here we are those 19 weeks later, and I’ve not made nearly enough progress to warrant posting it.

A couple months ago, I submitted The Mask of Despair to EQD. Rejected, obviously. At the very least, they gave me some notes on it. More notes than all the other comments and messages combined. On that note: why did no one tell me it was such a mess? It’s got random capitalizations, missing words, and tense troubles all over. I’ve fixed the ones they mentioned, but I know there’s plenty more still

So yesterday I wrote my first Shipfic, and it’s doing alright. 60+ views, 8 upvotes, a dozen-or-so favorites. (Nothing I’ve done can come close to competing with The Alicorn Limit, though.) I had wanted to get it done for Hearts & Hooves day, but I didn’t get around to really working on it until yesterday. Didn’t finish until 2am.

I don’t suppose I could get a tiny bit of help? I don’t think my short description of the Ash of Fallen Stars is helping me much. Nor does that Sad tag. I’ve had trouble saying what my stories are about concisely or briefly. Could anyone who has read what I’ve posted provide some suggestions?

Let me at least justify my choices:

Well, it’s been three weeks since I started releasing chapters for The Ash of Fallen Stars (henceforth: Fallen Stars), and the results are… disheartening. 21 days, 58 views. I’m pretty sure that’s the worst any of my stories have done. (even the less-liked ones such as “What do you think” or “The Nightmare Night Knightmare.”) I would have

Part 1 Chapter 1 is out! It can be read! Yeah, I know, it’s only the very first scene. Don’t worry, there’s plenty more. On the order of 60k+ words more.

Yay, I made it to December! And just barely crossed my goal of 30,000 words. By 20,000. That’s right, I wrote just about 50,100 words. Way over my target goal. Now that it’s December 1st I can start working on editing finally get around to releasing and… wait, what? It’s the 15th? Where did those two weeks go?? Did I oversleep? What’s going on?!

All joking aside, I decided to take a day or two off to rest. Predictably those two days were… more than two days.

I’m doing NaPoWriMo again. I’m doing “The Ash of Fallen Stars” … again. I really thought I’d be done with it by now. Ugh, this has been one of the least productive years I’ve spent writing that I actually tried to spend writing.
