I feel I owe everypony an apology... · 10:16pm Jan 24th, 2013

For the last three months, I've been promising new chapters of A Cog in the Machine. After the mini update back in late October, I promised that two new chapters would be coming in the near future...

October ended with the one chapter.

I promised these two new chapters in November. I said that they would be out after I was done fixing up the older chapters. I had a progress bar and everything ready and a good chunk of the chapters done...

November ended with every chapter edited... but no new chapters.

Towards the middle of December, when I was finally released from school, I told you guys right away that I would be working on the chapters. I told you that my goal was to reach 30K by the end of the year and in the pursuit of this goal I left the Author's Group skype chat in order to eliminate all outside distractions. I did nothing but write and write and write...

December ended with only 20K completed, none of it made available for your viewing pleasure.

So, that said... I owe everypony an apology. For months on end here I have overestimated my abilities both as an author and as a human being. In the end, I have done nothing but make promises that I was incapable of keeping. Now, even if I were to tell you that January will not end like the last three months have, none of you would believe me.

Because I have proven myself to be a liar.

I am sorry.

I want to tell you that part one is ready to go and part two is trailing behind it, but at this point I don't even trust my own words so... I guess all that I can do is to both tell you I'm sorry, and to thank you dearly for staying with me for so long.

No, A Cog in the Machine is not dead.

No, A Cog in the Machine is not on hiatus.

No, I am not happy for how long it took me to get my act back together again.

No, I don't not love you.

AARGH A DOUBLE NEGATIVE!
It gnaws at my soul! My inner being!
I forgive you for not updating, but that double negative... whoa...

Also, what happened to the blog I got a minute ago? :moustache:

Hey mate, this be fine. Take your time and chillax. Things happen. That said, I was starting to wonder whether you'd show anymore signs of life. You disappeared from the chat and I was all like "Where'd Derply go?". Guess now I know :rainbowlaugh:

The best of luck with your writing, Derply.

Godspeed. :rainbowsalute:

Just keep at it, champ. Sometimes things happen and you can't deliver. It's just the name of the game.

not to mention I didn't have to wait long since I joined the party late.

Remember you're doing this for fun. Don't stress over fun! That's no fun! How many more times can I say fun? Just relax and have some f--NO! Amuse yourself. YES.

And remember. YOU GOT DIS. :rainbowdetermined2:

You know what they say; good things are worth waiting for.

What is this I am reading?! Apologize?! What nonsense, the best things are always worth the wait and as I've said before( I think :twilightoops: ) take your time. You're a human being and you shouldn't blame yourself for something like this.

And yes if it makes you feel better, then i forgive you.*HUGZ!!!*:heart:

FactoryDash out.
