Where I've Been

So, I've been taking writing really seriously over the past year. I got 15,000 words out of NaNoWriMo; not bad for a busy month running science festivals. I finished the manuscript in June, sold my retro game systems the funds for self-publishing e-books, and joined a forum thread on one of my boards to write 500 words a night. I was feeling pretty good, especially considering I'm finally a

So, working on the next chapter. No one reading the last one got the hints about the new kid, who is the story's main kid. I'll give these out, and the first person (and maybe a few others) who get it right will earn a small OC cameo in HHH.
Now, the kid's an OC...but the mother is not.
Here are the first few hints.

Hooves Holding Hearts Edit

So, I changed a scene in chapter four. I changed it because it didn't work, and others complained with a reasonable point.
It happens near the end of the chapter.
Spoilers ahead.
I mean, really spoilers.
If you haven;t read the chapter, it kind of ruins the punch to know this...
Ready.

So, when John is confronting the father....

What the pre-readers are saying...

Just so you know, here's some comments on the Hooves Holding Hearts chapter that drops this week.
"She had a really miserable childhood, didn't she?"
"Holy freaking s***! Nevermind Jazz, you are not worst parent anymore!"
"This is both heartwarming and utterly heartbreaking at the same time. You magnificent bastard."

Story Progress!

Chapter four of Hooves Holding Hearts is off to the pre-readers! I'm going to try to get a C&D chapter done next, I think. I'm having to split time between pony writing and writing things I actually intend to e-publish for money, but I intend to finish the crop of stories I have, maybe saving a week in summer to write "Doctor Whooves and the Mare in the Moon."

Lyra & Bon Bon: Foster Parents? · 11:31pm Jul 6th, 2013

Yep. It could happen. Finally, Lyra gets here shot in the spotlight as I cover these two crazy kids and their long path toward fostering and adoption. There's a lot of me I'll be putting into this, so I'll be shooting for turning personal feels into feels we all can share. I'm excited, since I don't think anyone's tried this kind of story with that pair before. I get to flesh out Bon Bon, Lyra gets to star, and expect an appearance from the Cheerilee family or Doo-Smiths somewhere.

Also, I get to show you what becoming a foster parent is really like.

Here's the big version of the wonderful cover made by the wonderful Whipstitch. Look at her Deviantart stuff! Check out her Facebook, and earn free drawings from the Saturday contests!

When you say, "What becoming a foster parent is really like, do you mean that you have experience in the field?"

I have something similar to this going in my person fandom.
In a loose connection to Pashoo, I have Lyra and Bonbon being the adoptive parents of Scootaloo.
