    Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining.

    You probably know how this sort of thing goes. There you are, mowing your grass on a day that can't decide whether to shine or drizzle on you, a few years and counting into your non-writing streak. Whatever thoughts you're having are at the expense of your lawnmower picking a fight with every passing tuffet and losing.

The joy of editing. · 10:57pm Feb 2nd, 2014

So I submitted, as one does, 'The Devil's Details' to The Royal Guard and Equestria Daily. While it didn't reach the standards expected of either one, both still gave me some pretty substantial and decent feedback on what could be done to improve it.

So as of this blog post, the next chapter might take a little longer than usual to appear (given that my average time interval between new chapters could be measured as appreciable fractions of a glacial aeon, I can only imagine your shock). Current chapters will be getting a fair amount of tweaking, trimming, and in some cases, burning-to-the-ground-and-rebuilding-on-the-ashes. Hopefully, a better story will come out of the experience.

So all my paragraphs are apparently starting with 'so', apparently. That also appears to be happening.
