    May not be writing at the moment, but...

    I have been starting to pop up on Twitch from time to time. If you're ever interested in poking your head in, take a gander over here. I'm actually about to go live here in a few.

    Saying Adios to a Friend

    So, folks... I'm sure most, if not all of you, know Obselescence in some way or another. For quite some time, he's been a moderator here, and organizer of quite a few story competitions and unexpected fads. Go stop by and wish him well, if you'd like. He had a large impact on me over the years, it's sad to see him go.

    Status Update

    Next chapter is currently sitting at 2,500 words out of the 4,000 or so that I've set as a goal for chapter size. It's a bit hard going, I know what I want to write, but writing it is another story altogether. Once I have the rough draft finished, it's going to need a fair bit of work to get it up to a posting standard, but hopefully I'm thinking two to three days until it's ready for

    Want some more Batpony/Thestral-centric content? Take a gander!

    So, two of my long time friends on the site here (Talking shortly after creating accounts, both of whom have poked at my stuff on and off for some time now) have recently come together to work on something that is heavily centered around a created society of thestrals. They've told me it should be quite an interesting read, and I'm inclined to agree, having seen some of the content they're

    Merry Christmas to all!

    Merry Christmas to all! Enjoy the day, wherever you may be, whomever you may be with. Go watch some Christmas movies, have some holiday cheer... I suggest watching Home Alone 2. Or Die Hard. Both are excellent ones to watch.

A Long Overdue Update & Thanks · 6:45pm Aug 15th, 2014

Howdy folks, it's been... well, it's been awhile, too long really since I updated everyone on how things were going. Figured I'd go ahead and drop a few words to let everyone know how things are going.

To begin with, the medication that I got on has been helping out, although it's taken awhile to really start showing any overall improvements. I have lost a little over 10 pounds in the last month as well, so that's helped my overall mood and attitude improve. I'm still an asshole, just not quite as much of one now. I'm hoping things continue to improve as I keep moving forward.

This leads into writing. I haven't even opened a document in... so long I honestly cannot remember without going to look at whatever story I last updated. The good news here is that I am writing today, once I reread all of the source material of the story I plan to progress in. I might end up simply focusing on one story at a time, try to eliminate some of these incomplete stories down to a more manageable level. I don't have much of a drive for writing, but I'm trying to find it again.

Also, in other news, I finally have a story with 1,000+ upvotes to its name that isn't "Male turned Mare exploiting 1,001 cliches and the mature and sex tag written and uploaded as a complete joke." My first story, the TwiLuna Becoming One With the Night, has broken that threshold as well. While the entire story really does need a rewrite, it's a proud accomplishment to me, made possible by you all, the readers. I want to take a moment to acknowledge just how much it means to me that so many of you are sticking around for so long, even though I haven't written anything in months, and I want to thank each and every one of you. So, thanks, and hopefully I can start updating story X or Y soon and get the ball moving again.

Luckily, I'm not completely out of shape. I know people's opinion on RPs (Role-playing) are varied, and I have been pretty deep in them, working on keeping some of my writing skills sharp-ish. They really make you think on your feet as you are not the only one writing the story, and so you have to constantly adjust while remaining within the character that you have established to try and maintain control, or lead events where you want them to go. So, hopefully when I start writing here in an hour or two, it won't be total slop.

Thanks again everyone for sticking around, hopefully I can start bringing out some decent-quality material for updates here.

Spacecowboy, out~

Tailwind covers you in our peas.

He lives! :pinkiehappy:
Great to see ya, Spacecowboy. I'm happy to hear that things are looking up for you and congrats on the 1k upvotes on BOwtN! :twilightsmile:

I'm looking forward to new updates to stories but please don't feel rushed on our accounts. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would rather read a new chapter when it's finished than a rushed, so-so one. :pinkiesad2:
