Status Update and Coming Attractions · 9:20pm Jan 30th, 2014
Hey folks... just wanted to give an update. I'm having more trouble than usual with the next chapter of Five Star Service, which currently stands at just under 5,000 words. I'm not sure why it's causing me some mental blocks, but it is. I estimate another week on it. But on a side note, FSS just hit 50 faves. A still-modest total, but I'd like to thank you all for following it. I've plenty more yet planned with it.
I'm also thinking of writing a companion story or series of one-shots that would show things from the point of view of her partners. How would you like to see Five Stars written about from the perspective of Colgate? Or Braeburn? Or perhaps hear about some of the other shenanigans at the Shemareaton that were only touched upon in passing when Discord returned? Would you read those? Be a way to gain additional readers and generate additional interest for the main story as well.
I guess what worries me is that I'm trying to juggle too many writing projects at once. Currently I write FSS and the Turnabout Storm novelization. I have a sequel story planned on *that* later on in the year, and I've also started editing a HALO crossover fic called Halo: Equestria. To top it all off, I have an anthro (Furry) novel that is finished and I've been meaning to self-publish for some time. So there's a lot on my plate, and of course, I still have may day job. I enjoy my writing and editing, but worry I'm going to burn myself out at this rate. Don't worry, though... I'll relent the pace if I have to and won't leave any stories hanging.
Anyway, folks... new authors feed on faves and feedback. It's been a little frustrating trying to get them, but I realize now I just have to be patient and keep writing. Thanks for following the story, and I hope you all continue to enjoy it!
