    Plan, what plan? You don't have a pla-

    So... some of you may be wondering where Chapter 3 of the new-ish fic I've been working on is(or maybe not, I'm not a mind reader, but that's moderately the point of the blog), to be quite frank, I'm not sure myself.

    Started reasonably strong with the first two chapters being relatively simple to put together, but I'm on Ch3 and I'm having... difficulties. What kind?

    Some bits and bobs from the Gate Glass

    sharing some bits and bobs from the FiM AU I'm working on that I'm organizing over on WorldAnvil while I write the story that's set in it.

    Writing Project

    Currently, I've decided to start taking the plunge on a new pony related writing project. Still hashing out details, and background, since I want a reasonably solid foundation before I work on the main story, but I've been using WorldAnvil to organize it.

    Well isn't this something, I'm actually back here.

    As it stands I've currently revoked submission of all my stories that I had up except for Hair Trigger, admittedly done impulsively, while re-reading... just... feel really ashamed of them, wiped a good bit of stuff from my old profile widgets.. and probably going to be reworking various stuff as time goes on.

    I'm not dead

    But... for the foreseeable future I won't be updating any of my stories.

    Cloudfall, my first foray into pony fiction, was written during the brief paintball and ponies bandwagon that rolled through the site a ways back, and I made it way too ambitious for what it was supposed to be, even if I were to rewrite and downscale it, I don't think I'd have to drive to actually finish it.

Well, keeping it interesting, its a bit heavy on dialogue , and trying to swing it back around. I've re-written it a few times at this point, and further still, I'm feeling like I need to do a significant retool of the rough outlines I have for the story, since originally it was meant to start as a bit of a roadtrip/doing your job and getting paid type story that would have diverged steadily over time, but now... well, rough outline isn't cutting it and there's a lot I want to set up over the course of the story. I'm not going to make some claim that it'll be be great, or even good... but I'm gonna give it an honest to gods shake

So.. yeah, writing is hard haha
