    The beard of regret.

    This is a post about beards. Specifically, my beard. There's pretty much nothing else, so I encourage you to skip this post if you couldn't care less about beards.

    Heh, whoops...

    So, trust me to do a big "I'm back!" post and then immediately disappear for a couple months. Sorry about that! The last couple of months at work have been a little brutal, there's some personal home-life stuff happening, and I'm just generally out of practice when it comes to posting. I'll make an effort to post more frequently!

    Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it! And happy Thursday for those who don't!

    Thus kicks off the traditional holiday season chaos! Get ready for the next few weeks to be filled with holiday music, Christmas specials, and constant reminders of various sales in order to encourage more and more shopping!

    I can see clearly now...

    First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for the warm welcome I got the other day on my previous blog post. I'm not surprised, this is the kindest and most welcoming community I've ever been a part of, but it was very much appreciated! It underscored for me how much I missed being here.

    The Triumphant Return of Hoopy McGee!

    (Alternate Blog Title: My god, so many notifications!)

    Hi, everyone! Hope you’re all doing well in these trying times! 

    Well, I’ve decided to return to Fimfiction after an incredibly long absence. I’ve really missed this site, especially the community that resides here.

Sunflower: Harmony update, and new art! · 10:05pm Jun 20th, 2014

Hi, all!

It's good being back on the writing wagon. Chapter 6 is now up, chapter 7 is looking like it will be ready soon, and chapter 8 is about 2k words from being ready for editing.

I think this patch is a little slow to write, because I'm trying to keep Erin moving into town and passing out her presents to her friends interesting, while still moving the overall plot along. For those that don't like slice of life stuff, things will really start to pick up in chapter 9. I've got some really exciting stuff that I can't wait to get to!

In other news, the always-amazing Lightfalls has made more Sunflower art. This one is from the end of Project: Sunflower, and also from chapter one of Side Projects:

I like the design of the torc especially. It's got a little Sunflower symbol on it! Awesome!

Anyway, hope you all enjoy the new chapter!

Really the first few chapters of a story should be somewhat slowwith a bit of stuff to draw people in. If you start out right away with everything happening you tend to lose people and the story is often lost. Of course starting fast then having a slowdown works too, but you still need that slow bit for people to be able to grasp what is going on.

Awesome.

Also, I prefer gradual ramp ups into stories. I think it's one of the reasons I get on well with the writings of, say, King, Dickens, Tolkein and Rowling.

how do you do it? How do you always seem to update when I least expect it?:twilightangry2:

.... not that I'm complaining :raritywink:

Neat a new chapter. Hope I have time to read it before my trip.

I'm not sure if Light didn't mention, but I commissioned this one for yah, Hoopy. :twilightsmile: After my latest reread I just really liked the image of that scene and had to go request it.

Also, Where have you been!? :raritydespair:
