Chapter 10 Update

Happy Spring, every-pony! Well, the eclipse happened over where I live, and I got to witness it! I must say, the corona of an eclipse is much brighter than pictures can convey. The darkness itself was fascinating, like evening coming early, and we heard crickets start their chorus. We can only speculate what their reaction to daylight five minutes later was. And Venus was clearly visible

Chapter 10 Update

March Madness is here, every-pony! And with it comes an update to my progress with "The Sixth Alicorn." I have finished writing Chapter 10 long hand, and it stretches out to 5744 words over 21 and a half pages. It's certainly much shorter than my previous chapters, but don't worry; chapter 11 looks like it will be much more substantial, from what I have planned. I'm in the process of typing

Not dead! Chapter 10 update

Hi every-pony, I thought I should check in with all of you, since it's been a while since I provided any updates. As some of you may know, I lost my job in October of last year, and have been job hunting ever since. No luck yet, but it's not for lack of trying! I've been focused mostly on resolving that hiccough in my life, so you may well understand why I haven't been able to update. I've

Chapter Nine Uploaded!!!

Happy Nightmare Night, every-pony! Good news, I have finally posted chapter nine of The Sixth Alicorn! Final word count comes to 12,287, clipped from the initial 13,809. It took a long while to get this chapter written. Not only was this due to the usual travails of writing, but I had a number of personal setbacks to go through (such as getting terminated from my job!), as well as

Nightmare Night, here comes something sweet to bite!

Happy Nightmare Night weekend, every-pony! I have a treat coming up for you all. Chapter Nine of "The Sixth Alicorn" is entering it's final stage. I'm going through my final read-through of it at present. That should take a few more days. Look for the chapter update either on Mischief Night or Halloween itself, which I think you will find perfectly apt, given the sort of story I am writing,

Chapter 8 posted! · 4:12am Jan 23rd, 2023

Good evening, every-pony! It took a lot of work, but I finally got Chapter 8 posted! I meant to have this posted on Christmas, but due to computer problems, I ended up losing my final draft, and had to go back and edit it all over again. I think the old draft I had was better, but this one had a few small changes added that I think help it. The new chapter runs 12, 102 words, making it a little shorter than some of the other chapters I posted. Surprisingly, this fanfic did not break the 100,000 word mark yet, but it is getting incredibly close. I hope you enjoy the new chapter, and look forward to hearing your thoughts on it!

I've also done work on Chapter 9. At this stage, I have 27 pages of composition book filled out. I meant to have more of it done, but my problems with Chapter 8, along with some personal upheavals, left me not feeling up to working on it. I'm hoping to change that this week.

As usual, here are some of the other places I post my story to. I also have a Twitter account, where I talk about whatever book I happen to be reading (though whether I'll stay on Twitter is up in the air; I'm not fond of the new owner ) I'll post that link below as well. But I'll still be using this blog to discuss new updates.
