    I am not a clever pony.

    Once again, the new chapter is taking a good long while to sort out. Once again, it is because of a character I am writing for the first time, in this case Big Mac. Those of you familiar with my style know I enjoy a good and flowery sentence, and Big Mac is the antithesis of that. He exercises an economy of words that would make someone like me feel as if they had taken a vow of silence. And

    How you write.

    This next chapter has given me a lot to think about. I guess I should have predicted this, since by fanfiction's very nature it is unavoidable. Some the mane six make appearances and I've been quite hung up on getting their dialogue and mannerisms to sound right. With Colgate or Berry, being background ponies, I'm somewhat free to create their personalities and behaviors. Yes we all have

    Whoo, so much stuff to do. Chapter 5 of Colgate and Punch is halfway done. It would have been finished already had I not joined a Mechwarrior Online Clan for Bronies. These folks to be exact: http://www.equestriaroyalguard.com

I've been tied up translating Battletech lore into Ponytech, much in the same vein as the Fallout Equestria school of alternate universe building. Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be any Pony-mechwarrior crossover art (except this one pic I found) or stories, not like we have for Fallout and Warhammer. So I guess we are breaking new ground. Might be a good basis for a second story on FIMfiction, though alt universe crossovers are notoriously hard to do well. Fortunately, summer is coming up soon, which means more time to write.

I can't wait for chapter 5 to be finished. I stumbled across your story and really loved it. It's the first Colgate story I have read, and its very well written. :pinkiehappy:

But, I know how that goes, something eating up your time and providing itself as a distraction. I'm writing a story myself and I find my attention span quickly slipping to a new game or story instead of my new chapter. :twilightsheepish:
