    Thoughts?

    So, I've been not doing much writing for quite some time, at least not for The Worth of Words anyway or anything longer than vague thoughts. Anyway, I've got about a chapter's worth written plus another partially written one, with the former a bit further in the future (at least a chapter or two more as it stands). If there's anyone at out there paying attention, are you interested enough to see

    World building (sort of)

    Today I happened upon thoughts about the nature of alicorns in The Worth of Words. By which I mean I was contemplating what my answers were to some of the questions raised in the comments. In particular, those regarding what my definition of an alicorn is (and how they come into existence) and whether Twilight was or would end up as an alicorn. I have since jotted down a fair chunk of text

    Chapter 6 (not done yet, sadly)

    Chapter 6 is coming along,... slowly. It's a little over a third finished, but I'm working on it. Hopefully it'll be done by Monday, sooner if possible. :twilightsmile: I've also got a chapter's worth written out concerning Twilight, Luna, and Celestia, but that'll have to wait for the right spot (to be put up, that is). Anyway, hope someone is still paying attention.

    Chapter 5 is up, YAY!

    So, anyway.

    Self imposed deadlines... what's that I hear? *WHOOSH*

    Oh, wait, there it went! Bugger...

    I apologize and resolve to work harder to meet my own schedule. My cozy bed was really calling at 2 am this morning.

    So, that's Chapter 5 for you. When's Chapter 6 getting here, you may ask? I don't have a clue. Before two weeks, hence, maybe?

    Chapter 5, yes there is a chapter 5...

    Chapter 5, is err, still being written. I am a very slow writer of late, no thanks to trying to decide how the next day or so of the story is going to unfold. Hopefully I will be done by tomorrow afternoon/evening, well, this evening really (it's after 1am here on the east coast of the US)... Anyway, that's about all for that. I do hope someone is still interested, even if a three week wait is a

Thoughts? · 4:21am Oct 10th, 2014

So, I've been not doing much writing for quite some time, at least not for The Worth of Words anyway or anything longer than vague thoughts. Anyway, I've got about a chapter's worth written plus another partially written one, with the former a bit further in the future (at least a chapter or two more as it stands). If there's anyone at out there paying attention, are you interested enough to see those bits or should I just hold off until I get around to finishing chapter 7 and the intervening chapters? If so, do tell. I can't decide whether I should do that by "publishing" it here (there is obviously no hidden, unfinished setting) which would be weird since it's not technically totally finished or somewhere else (Google Docs?).

Anyway, anyone have any comments or thoughts on the matter?

P.S.
Apologies if this gets your hopes up for naught. There's just no other convenient way to get the collective attention of who liked/fav'ed/are tracking this. I don't have any plans to take up regular updates (writing more chapters, that is) at the moment.

Edit:
So I decided to throw what I have up on Google Docs. The links are below, commenting should be possible, although if I see spam I might have to disable that.

Chapter 7
Chapter 8

** What is presently titled 'chapter 8' may end up being pushed forward a couple chapters depending on where any further writing takes me

This is a difficult question, as always. I, personally, like to see the "finished product" so there's no 'spoilers' but... if you're not sure when you'll get things done, then I'd love to at least see what you have so far.

It's been convention, so far, to push not-ready-for-publication stuff up to Google docs and then share the link in a blog post. That seems most appropriate for this, I think!

Thanks for your opinion.

I don't mean to be unnecessarily depressing, but as much as I'd like it to be a finished product it's by no means a certainty. Unless the inspiration strikes me, my writing can be a bit forced at times. Which is to say, rather slow.

In fact, if you like the whole Twilight is Celestia's daughter thing in general then you might consider reading this one -> In the Suns Shadow if you haven't already. It's not finished either, but I thought it was reasonably good.

I really enjoyed looking at the 2 chapters but form what i read i think chapter 7 was a little short where it ended but chapter 8 looked really well for me and makes me wounder what chapter 9 will be like hope to read more soon:twilightsmile:
