What fills and soothes the soul will vary, but for me, I will not know until I try.

    Where am I going? What am I doing?

    So, the show is officially over. I've given my well wishes and thanked everyone. The ending did get to me. I wasn't fond of the epilogue, but I loved the 2 part finale.

    Anyways, I wanted to give a heads up on what is going on.

    Where the hay are the updates?

    Long time no-post, I guess. To put it blunt, I feel burned out on writing. This isn't to say I give up, but more that updates are gonna be exceedingly slow for a bit as I'm dealing with real life stuff at the moment. I'm in my final semester of college, and the 2nd to last class is really working me over. I hope I can pass the class. Still, there is a bit of doubt in my mind as the material

    Well that took a long time

    Opened my mail today to see that Diary of the Banished got rejected from The Royal Guard. I expect rejection anymore, yet what surprised me was the fact I got an actual response with some critiques. At this point, I fell ambivalent towards the criticisms. It's through writing that I get a great sense of pleasure and crave this type of interaction to better myself as a writer. It is through

    Slow Updates (Possible Mini-Hiatus)

    To reiterate what was stated in the previous blog, real life comes first. Though it's only two classes, I'm really engrossed with one class that requires a good 75% of my attention due to its difficulty. Story update wise, I have some concept down for Diary of the Banished and Full Bloom.

    Updates coming

    I want to apologize to the readers who are expecting updates to several of my stories. Real life comes first, as is the motto, so I'm having to put off my stories for a little bit. With all of that being said however, there are updates coming. After my finals next week, I will have some free time to start working on my stuff again.

I'll keep this short and sweet for those who are curious. To put it bluntly, I have to take care of someone right now that I cherish. There isn't a lot I can reveal or want to reveal, but, as said, I need to take care of them right now.

What does this mean for my stories I've talked about, written about, and promised? Writer's block cursed me to the point I couldn't visualize how to get these stories moving. Now, I have time on my hands, and it's limited at best. I will see what I can write.

Derpy Deliver's a Pizza - This one took a lot longer than I wanted, starting as a simple writing exercise. Chapter 7 is pretty much finished. When I say pretty much, I mean like 95%. I could release it as is right now, but it wouldn't be "right" to me. There are a few things I want/need to add for it to be to a point I consider acceptable.

Diary of the Banished - A story that is very dear to my heart. It started as my first story, grew into something beyond what I wanted, and it may be the story that sinks me. I didn't need this story to be the best. I wanted it to be the best. I'm sad to say that it may never become what I wanted. That doesn't mean I will stop writing it, but I do need to find that "spark" of imagination to continue with it. I have chapter's 2 and 3 re-written and checked. They need another thorough cleaning before I release them. Chapter's 4 through 8 require some massive re-writes. Beyond those chapters, I need to finish writing the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th arcs. This story will contain 32 chapters with an epilogue ending.

Embrace - Similar to Diary of the Banished, I want this story to be a good one. I want to be more than simple smut/erotica fan-fiction, telling a story that's quirky and sad at the same time. This story is in my mind and I will take up the pen to it once more when I get some time to really get into the frame of mind I need to be in for this to work out.

Disowned - I have to thank the Overly Extensive Editors for this one, showing me where I went wrong. My life is just so chaotic right now that I don't have the proper time to make this work/edit it. This doesn't mean I've given up on it, but it means I will need to hold off on continuing it.

New Story - This one has stewed around in my mind for a bit, and I think I might give it a shot. Some may not like the story. In the end though, I can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time.

Just a quick update on everything that I am working on for those who are curious, if anyone.
