    Update (Without excuses this time!)

    Guess what? I'm done writing the next chapter of Manifesto.

    I just need to give my prereaders a day or two to look over it, and then it'll go up.

    Until then, here's Despacito being played on a guzheng.

    Hey, everyone.

    I've somehow gotten out of the habit of posting updates. Oops.

    Anyway, you've no doubt noticed that I don't post as often as I once did in the past. This is largely because improvements in my life situation mean I have the wherewithal to engage in hobbies other than writing fanfiction.

    Update.

    Goodness, it's been a while, hasn't it? You're probably wondering why my pace has slowed down on Manifesto. Well, there are several reasons, but the most relevant one is that I find myself rewriting large swaths of this chapter as I zero in on the best plan for Sunset to take. I'm basically going back and forth between two ideas that can't really be combined into a single one, and for

    New Story Incoming

    In case you missed my last blog post, I'm taking a break from the adventures of Celestia and Daring Do to write the next Petriculture story. At this point it looks like it'll be fairly short -- about two chapters long -- and I recently finished up the first chapter, which will be posted once my prereaders give it a final once-over.

You know that thing I do? · 12:48am Jun 30th, 2012

Where I start updating people on the progress of my next story/chapter? Well, I'm doing it right now.

The first chapter of my next story is about halfway done, unless my prereaders notice some huge, glaring problem (which, so far, they haven't). They have, however, given indicated that my ideas for this story are more or less as good as I'd hoped they were. (And I mean that "more or less" part literally: some are more enthusiastic than expected, and some less, but none of them have reacted negatively).

Anyway, I think expect the first chapter of "Inscape" to appear within a week---possibly before Monday, if I get it finished in time to get it in the story queue by then. Still, no promises.

Oh, and lest I forget---this is the sequel to "Petriculture" that I thought I'd never write.

Aww yeah!

SCORE!!! :raritystarry: I loved Petriculture! Now i can't wait to see this!

203578 If he's headed where I think he's headed with it it'll be a good read. If he's headed somewhere else... it'll be mind blowing.

203583 Here's hoping for the latter.

203586 you'll enjoy it either way. Like everything else he writes it'll be good

203583 Here's to hoping for the second. Mindblowing is the best!:pinkiehappy:

203583
Given that I found the idea mind-blowing when I came up with it, it's probably the latter. (To put that in perspective, I merely found Petriculture's premise to be "really clever and interesting.")

I am excited, because Petriculture was just amazing. And brilliant. It was brilliantly amazing.

First we are told that Pinkie is a 4th wall breaking figment of Twilights imagination that broke out into the world. But that is not a big deal right? That is just Pinkie being Pinkie. But wait just when you thought your mind was safe.

Meanwhile on the moon it turns out the entire Mane6 is only in Lunas head teaching her about the magic of friendship to overcome the Nightmare. :trollestia:

Should probably mention, that the way I proofread objectively is to become emotionally detached. Not unemotional, since the way a story makes you feel is an objective assessment, but to the point of trying to nullify purely subjective feedback. So if you want to know how "excited" I actually am for something, you will need to actually ask for subjective feedback. As for how excited I am for this story, based on what I've seen so far?

This is gonna be amazing :raritystarry:

Well I guess I have a story to read before Monday. :rainbowwild:

More Petriculture? Huzzah!
