Not really paying attention to any of this anymore, but I keep the tab open... for some reason.

    Not going to rewrite any more than I've done. That's it, no need to read further.

    It pains me, perhaps more than I can articulate, to have a flawed work out there. It reflects badly on me, and the ideas and themes I want to convey. I want to change everything I've written to be at a certain level of quality that I expect from myself. For the past months I've been going through and doing that, the last being at CH 33.

    Returned from Cuba

    Just returned from a month in Cuba. Hard to get internet there (google it and be disgusted) so I didn't get to write much. I have a lot to catch up on. I hope to put some kind of thing soon-ish. I get a clenching kind of fear of disappointing when I don't make regular progress.

    When the Everfree Burns, Act One revision is complete.

    Act One of When the Everfree Burns has been fully rewritten. About another 50,000 words, major theming, character motivation, and dialogue changes. Minor changes to the overall course of the plot. Some chapters, like the Bridge chapters, have been rearranged. I'll make a comprehensive list of changes later. Check back later for that if you care. Right now I'm just upset with my perseverance to

    Procrastinating makes me productive.

    I seems to have a crippling compulsion not to get work done. In fact, I am just so repulsed by the things I should be doing right now that I make tasks for myself to avoid it. So, I'm going to look through all the blogs I've made and fix a few of the broken image links and things in them.Actually, I'm not going to do that stuff right now. I'm just going to distract myself for a few seconds by

Art Beat: Who does the beating, and who is the beaten? · 9:13pm Jul 25th, 2015

It's finally happened. People are starting to call me out when I say "I'm writing, don't bother me!". Hunching protectively over my sketchbook instead of my computer might make people think twice about bothering me though. What's more dangerous, a troubled author or a troubled artist. Well, let's just say I ain't never seen the literary analog to a red splatter painting.


Chapter 43-50 Spoilers!



Agana, Suzerain of Sin. She came out a bit too... IDK, feminine? I'm not a really big fan of anthro designs and Agana is really just supposed to be hulking and severe. Eh, it's not too bad.



Say hi to Astral Nacre again, this time in one piece. She looks a bit too normal from this angle. Ah well.



It's NotTwilight NotSparkle, AKA Sunset Shimmer! I guess she's trying awkwardly to smile. Mmm, 3/10, could've spent more time on this.



And finally

Dreamscape. I cocked this one up trying to remove smudges in GIMP, but then I realized the color inversion adds a kind of otherworldly bizarreness to it. Top left is Celestia's dream, bottom left is Ancepanox's, and right side is Forlorn Spark's.
