    Seashell: getting closer to print!

    Here's where we are on the Seashell print book:
    83 pages all told, including front matter and a preface. 75 of them so far are story. Anticipating about 10-20 more pages to be finished. Almost there!
    Cover's done (for the hardcover edition dust-jacket, at least, will probably have to be redone for the paperback but whatever).

    Jinglemas 2023, done!

    I wrote this thing for Penguifyer, and today is my assigned day to deliver the gift, so I guess this is when the story drops:

    TLost
    Twilight, on her new wings, couldn't find her way around Cloudsdale. It may have left more of mark on her than she wants to admit. Written for Jinglemas 2023.

New story on this two-for-one Saturday! · 7:57pm Mar 14th, 2015

Yes, today is a busy double-header for me.

First off, I just published a new short little story I've been working on for a few days now, called "Griffon it Another Try". It's my entry for the Everfree Northwest 2015 pre-con writing contest. This one's something a little different for me. It sort of serves two purposes - one, I've sort of on and off wanted to write something with Gilda, but I was never sure exactly what, and I didn't know if I wanted it to be a major, long-drawn project, so a short 3,000 word max piece like this is perfect. Two, I've never felt like I have any kind of solid grasp on characterizing Pinkie Pie. She's by far the weakest of the Mane 6 for me to write, so I wanted to take the challenge of working on improving that. This really helped, I think!

The second part - it's Saturday, which of course also means it's update day for Ghost Lights! The new chapter will be getting published in a little while later on. Chapter 26! I can't believe it. At a new chapter every week, that means it's been six months since I started publishing this story. Over that time, I've gotten a lot of comments and a lot of readership for it, and it's all very, very appreciated, so I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's been a part of that so far. :twilightsmile:

And that's it! Let me know what you think of Griffon it Another Try, everyone!
