    Where I've Been

    So, I've been taking writing really seriously over the past year. I got 15,000 words out of NaNoWriMo; not bad for a busy month running science festivals. I finished the manuscript in June, sold my retro game systems the funds for self-publishing e-books, and joined a forum thread on one of my boards to write 500 words a night. I was feeling pretty good, especially considering I'm finally a

    Hooves Holding Hearts contest

    So, working on the next chapter. No one reading the last one got the hints about the new kid, who is the story's main kid. I'll give these out, and the first person (and maybe a few others) who get it right will earn a small OC cameo in HHH.

    Now, the kid's an OC...but the mother is not.

    Here are the first few hints.

    Hooves Holding Hearts Edit

    So, I changed a scene in chapter four. I changed it because it didn't work, and others complained with a reasonable point.

    It happens near the end of the chapter.

    Spoilers ahead.

    I mean, really spoilers.

    If you haven;t read the chapter, it kind of ruins the punch to know this...

    Ready.



    So, when John is confronting the father....

    What the pre-readers are saying...

    Just so you know, here's some comments on the Hooves Holding Hearts chapter that drops this week.

    "She had a really miserable childhood, didn't she?"

    "Holy freaking s***! Nevermind Jazz, you are not worst parent anymore!"

    "This is both heartwarming and utterly heartbreaking at the same time. You magnificent bastard."

    Story Progress!

    Chapter four of Hooves Holding Hearts is off to the pre-readers! I'm going to try to get a C&D chapter done next, I think. I'm having to split time between pony writing and writing things I actually intend to e-publish for money, but I intend to finish the crop of stories I have, maybe saving a week in summer to write "Doctor Whooves and the Mare in the Moon."

A Working Vacation · 5:12am Dec 20th, 2011

So, I'm in Saint Augustine for a three day vacation. The bad news is I'm a little behind on chapter eight; I had a local convention this weekend. The good news is that my wife drove the entire time on our trip up so that I could write for hours. I'm at almost three thousand words thanks to dear Mistypaw. I should have it done by Thursday, at which time I give my pre-readers a few days to pick it apart.

This is the last chapter before the contest ends; chapter nine shall be the festival! This means you have until about New Year's to catch the most references in the first five chapters. The current total is seven! Winner gets their reasonable (not cyborg ninja) OC pony.

Also, I'm 75% done with a one-shot story about Celestia. If anyone could point me in the direction of a good picture of a sad Celestia I'd be appreciative. If anyone's interested in being a pre-reader, message me.

Speaking of requests, does anyone know a good place to get instrumental versions of Buffy musical songs I could link to? This may have something to do with a future chapter....

Don't stop believing!
