New story! · 6:19am Mar 10th, 2014
Hello all you beautiful readers! Once again (and always!), thanks again for watching me or reading my stories!
This post will be a pretty short one, not much to say other than if you read my previous blog entry, I just want to reassure you that the new story, Watching Over, is NOT the work that I was talking about in the last post. Watching Over was inspired by the Equestria Daily Writer's Training Ground prompt concerning the recent episode 'Somepony to Watch Over Me'.
The story I spoke of in my last blog post is significantly larger and is going to be more demanding on my time (despite it too being inspired by a previous Equestria Daily Writer's Training Ground) as it contains many original elements. Original elements mean that I have to spend more time nailing down how everything looks, how to describe it, how the characters we know react to these new things, etc. It is very similar to drawing a picture and arguably more difficult.
Watching Over I banged out pretty quickly in the heat of the moment, but I enjoyed writing it despite it being fairly standard to what we've come to expect from sad Applejack fics. It is also my first Applejack fiction, and I feel like it touches on some of the issues we've seen AJ struggle with this season, and why she is being so overbearing with Applebloom. I hope you all enjoy it as much s I enjoyed writing it!
Anyway, again THANK YOU for watching me or reading my works. Please don't forget to leave a like, and especially leave me a comment, I'm always looking for feedback!

Quick question: Will this contain any spoilers for season four?
Yes, as it is based of a Equestria Daily Writer's Training Ground prompt, which are always based off of the most recent episodes. However, these spoilers are rather minor as the prompt I chose to use is more of a 'What If', they're more like callbacks to a couple gags that happened at the beginning of the episode than real spoilers to the actual episode.
Hope that helps!
