    Merry Christmas, all!

    My track record with Christmas releases is no longer perfect, but I do try! Only one 5k chapter of Sharing the Nation this year, though I'm hoping to have 5k more out before the new year. To make up for it, though, I've also brought out the Harry Potter crossover that's been languishing in

    Nothing this year, sorry

    Man, this has been… a year. Shortly after my last blog post, I had some (non-covid) medical issues that somewhat took over my life for a while, and while that's all in the past now, I'm only back where I was beforehand—completely unproductive. I was determined to get back into things at NaNoWriMo, but work steamrolled those plans and I just haven't been able to find the words to write something

    More burned out than I thought

    Jeeze, it's been four months since I decided not to force myself to generate updates for the sake of Patreon and gave myself the freedom to write whatever I wanted… but I haven't really written anything. I've done a thousand words or so here and there to play around with other fandoms, but nothing of significance.

    Shocking, I know.

    Tis the season for status updates. Not as much the other kind of updates as I would like, though

    It wouldn't be Christmas if I hadn't been completely incommunicado for at least a month or two beforehand, right?

    Unfortunately, I don't have chapters of Sharing the Nation to post for Christmas this year. I do have some Equal Opportunity Ascension chapters that only Patreon has seen, and I'll post those, I guess, but it's clear this… isn't working.

    Christmas Updates!

    Merry Christmas!

    As I've done every year since I started writing, I have updates here for you on Christmas day.

    ( It might look like there's a missing one, but the chapter for Sharing the Night that year was taken down and reposted)

Okay, I give up · 10:19am Mar 29th, 2013

No matter what I replace this one scene* with, it's not working, so I'm just gonna cut it out entirely and call the chapter done at only 9k words. I'll do one last full read through tomorrow, and if all is well, pass it on to my prereaders. I wish I had an extra-long chapter to make up for the wait, but it'll end up being just the opposite :unsuresweetie:

* No, not the same scene the last blog post was about. That all worked out.

:twilightsmile::pinkiehappy::rainbowkiss: new Sharing the Night chapter soon? :yay::ajsmug::twilightsmile:

9k words? More than good enough for me.:pinkiehappy::twilightsmile:

It's ok, if it doesn't impact the story much when you cut out that scene, then I'm content with only 9k in exchange for a chapter now.

I just really wanna see some more twiluna action :twilightsheepish:

I've had that situation happen o me before. :3 If they weren't serving the story, then they aren't a real loss, I suppose. I'm just glad more Sharing the Night soon! YAY! :yay::pinkiehappy:

I'm standing (sitting) by.

So... What was the scene?

Have you tried a scene where Rarity and Rainbow have to infiltrate the Canterlot Museum in order to steal Equestria's largest diamond? :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

yay! new chapter inc!:yay::yay::yay::yay::rainbowkiss::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

Not too important to the plot, it was more about the pacing and mood. I wanted to break up a couple of scenes with an update on the rest of the mane six.

I may post the opening of the scene as a blog post, we'll see :twilightsmile:

Sorry to hear that you're struggling with some stuff. I know how they can be a real pain in the flank. Looking forward to your next update though! :twilightsmile: I'm sure it came together just fine. :twilightsmile:
