    Im starting a Discord server.

    Hey guys. I'm starting a Discord server to connect with you guys better and chat with all of you. I'll also be able to onboard any suggestions you guys might have and run ideas past you. You will also sometimes be able to see chapters early and access cut content.

    Hope to see some of you there.

    What sort of Interludes do you guys want to see?

    Now that the Big chapter has been released, I feel like a load has been lifted from my shoulders. I've been writing that chapter for two months and I'm glad that you all enjoyed it.

    I took a week off to relax and decompress but now that I'm back to the grind and beginning to formulate plans for the next chapter, I've got some decisions to make.

    The Big One... its coming!

    After nearly two months of writing, it's finally finished. ≈10700 words, more than double my previous 'longest chapter'. I could have published 4 chapters in this time. However, I promised that I would write the whole chapter in one go and so I shall deliver.

    It's been a long process but my hard work has paid off and my greatest chapter yet, shall be released soon.

    Longest chapter ever!

    The word count for my newest chapter has just blown past 5000 words, making it easily the longest chapter I've written. And I'm only partly through the chapter. With the things that I'm still planning to include, the chapter will likely come up to at minimum 6k words, potentially even 7k.

    So far so good

    The next chapter is coming along nicely. I'm about 2.5k words in, which would ordinarily be almost done, but this chapter is going to be a long one by my standards, at least 4k words, maybe 5k.

Going well · 10:14am Oct 30th, 2023

The last two chapters have collectively taken me 2 months to write, which is not acceptable, especially with my renewed commitment to getting these chapters out faster. Magic shows are hard as hell to write, but I hope that the final product was worth the wait. I'm working to try to accelerate my upload schedule.

The next chapter is already coming along nicely, and for once, I might actually meet my 1 week turnaround goal for uploading. Hopefully, by Friday, it should be out.

This chapter is an interlude and is out of chronological order. This will take place 5 minutes before the show in the backstage and will be from the perspective of Wind Chill. I purposefully didn't include this chapter before Luna’s performance for two reasons.

Firstly, Wind Chill is not as unaware as many assume, and her thoughts will touch on and allude to great ongoings in the world and in Valley Dale. I didn't want to shift focus away from the magic show, this is supposed to be Luna’s moment in the spotlight and I didn't want to dilute that by pivoting the focus of the story away from her performance. That's why I wanted to do it afterwards.

Secondly, I wanted more time to develop Wind Chill's character and personal motivations.

Take all the time you need, you shouldn’t be forcing yourself if you’re not feeling in the groove.

Some writers dish out a chapter every 6 months and some can knock one out in a week, sometimes the time spent affects the quality and sometimes it doesn't. If its a personal goal to write faster however, I wish you luck. :twilightsmile: either way as a reader I enjoy a good chapter here and there regardless of the frequency of them.

I always cheer up when I see a new chapter of a story I like it don’t burn yourself out for our sakes or worse, neglect other more important responsibilities.

Dang I'm way behind, if story is ending soon, I better get caught up.
Take your time btw, it brings the best out in writing.:pinkiesmile:

Not even close to ending. Not even close. I'm just getting started.
