    It's dev hell, but horsefic!

    I should learn to make no promises.

    Progress is happening on the big fic, so to speak, but it is in the form of sweeping revisions.

    Hey all, so the old title kinda sucked...

    Heya to the like 2 people who actually care,

    First off, I was way overly confident that the name "Legions of Cooled Steam" would actually stick, I put it into the last blog post. That was stupid. It's a horrible name. Like, cringeworthy bad.

    Status Update 7/15/23: On Legions of Cooled Steam Progress

    Hey all,

    Progress is being made on the initial batch of 4 chapters! I have now finished a proper draft for all of the first three chapters, and all that is left is to write the fourth and revise for consistency.

    I know, first proper fic and all and I'm already being all fussy-like, but if I'm gonna be cringe, I wanna take it seriously I guess. After all, I'll only grow as a writer if I do.

    Heya all, yes, I am writing something.

    Hello ponies of Fimfiction!

    I figure since my name seems to be attached to a couple of things that there is now a chance others will find me, so I want to clarify for all who click on here.

Hey all, so the old title kinda sucked... · 1:18am Aug 29th, 2023

Heya to the like 2 people who actually care,

First off, I was way overly confident that the name "Legions of Cooled Steam" would actually stick, I put it into the last blog post. That was stupid. It's a horrible name. Like, cringeworthy bad.

Thus I'm not going to fully commit to a title till I get that initial set of 4 chapters out, but rest assured I do have a better one picked out now.

Speaking of, where are those first 4 chapters? Turns out, after reflecting on a rather off feeling I was having, I realized my world building was very weak. As of this moment, I've just drafted a timeline to flesh out history and culture and... yeah, I pretty much have to rewrite the first chapter. It kind of makes sense, since when I first wrote that chapter I only had a vague idea of my world and was going off of a general vibe. Turns out, by chapter 4 that vagueness wrote me into a deep corner. Much of the other two chapters will stay intact, but chapter 1 needs major reworking and chapter 4 might just need to be restarted more or less from scratch.

It's frustrating to feel like I've been grinding my gears and doing nothing for a few weeks, but between this pretty critical issue and the stress around travelling to my first ever con, I suppose it's been warranted.

Well, with that, time to write chapter 1, I guess.
