Getting back up

Okay, I know I've been gone a long time and many of you probably don't think this fic will ever be finished, but I'm here to tell you that I am working on the next chapter. I've realized that just because I can't seem to build up the momentum to write it as quickly as I wrote my other fics doesn't mean I can't just work on it little by little. Every day I add another few paragraphs (if it's an

How does this sound?

Because this fic is running on 2 different story lines for now, I was thinking maybe it would be best for me to just go ahead and finish the rest of the mane six chapters and publish them without waiting for the CMC chapters. The stories do not converge until near the end, and technically I would be able to write the conclusion without spoiling any of the CMC's remaining captures. So, I figured

Hiring second co-author

After speaking with JXWheeler , we've decided it would be best for the project if we get a second co-author. The newest chapter has been delayed due to a series of events in JXWheeler's life, and the fact that it's not my turn has made me feel more inclined to slack off on preparing my own next chapter (although now that I'm coming into Summer vacation, I may end up being more inclined to work on

New plan: Long wait but BIG payoff

As I mentioned before, I do my best writing in the Spring, but the Spring quarter doesn't start for about 6 weeks, so I've come up with a way to set it up so I'll be able to easily cover all of my chapters in no time flat by doing what I do best: Outlining. Often, when planning for an essay in school, I'll make the outline so detailed that it becomes longer than the final product, because

Shouldn't be much longer

About a month ago, I realized that there's a pattern with my writing: it seems to peak in the Spring. I can't explain why, but for the last 2 school years in a row I could barely think about writing fics during the Fall and Winter quarters, but as soon as the Spring quarter started my desire to write greatly intensified and I ended up being able to write far more rapidly and enthusiastically than

Explanation · 3:37pm Nov 14th, 2013

I think I owe you all an explanation about why my next chapter is taking so long. Basically, it's because of 2 things:
1) Pokemon X & Y. They've been taking up a lot of my free time outside of school.
2) Chemistry. I'm taking 3 courses this quarter, and while I'm excelling at 2 of them, my chemistry class is killing me. This is the last level of chemistry I need to take, but I had to take the penultimate level of chemistry twice, so I'm worried I'll have to do the same with this one. The combination of stress at the difficulty of the class and the amount of studying I've been doing has made me lose much of my muse. Of all the courses required for my major, this chemistry class is the last one that doesn't seem like it'll be fairly simple for me to pass, and even if I do retake it I have no doubt the second attempt will be a success.

As soon as this quarter is over (about halfway through December), I should be able to concentrate much more on my fic. However, there may be a small 1-2 week delay at the start of Winter Break, because just yesterday I got a summons for jury duty scheduled for the middle of Finals week.
