Study of a Winning Pony Chapter 28 off to prereaders

So some good news for everyone. As you can all probably guess from the title of this blog post, I've just sent off Study of a Winning Pony Chapter 28 to my prereaders to begin picking over. So if all goes well with the editing process, we should see that chapter within a couple of weeks.

I've also decided to send my latest comedy short story, Anything But The Gala, to my prereaders to pick over while I wait for the cover art for the story. It has been over 18 months since I last published a new story, so I'm really looking forward to doing so again.

On the writing front I've completed chapters 29 and 30 of Study. So I'm cooking along where that story is concerned as I work hard to complete it. I've also decided to start writing a new short story I've been wanting to write for quite some time but only now really had the free space to do so. Working in conjunction with Chengar Qordath, I'm going to be writing a sequel to The Freeport Venture, which I've been heavily involved helping to edit.

It feels good to be back in the saddle.

More Study and more Sunny? Excellent on both parts.

It's going to be a direct sequel or more like a side story sequel?
Well, it doesn't really matter as long as I get more Freeport Venture *squee*

And 28, 29 and 30 already done? Wow, knowing the length of a study chapter, you have been working really hard.

I'm glad you're feeling good.

Oh, and I just popped over to Chapter 27 of The Study of a Winning Pony and noticed you're missing an 'of' in the paragraph that reads:

“Sorry.” She rubbed the back of her mane, sounding like this was a common, and embarrassing, conversation for her. “That sort of thing happens sometimes. Frequently.”

I would lean towards it being described as a direct sequel. It has a definite place in the overall story structure, and what happens in it will affect the relevant characters. Kinda like what Chengar's more recent Venture stories like Auction House and The Hunted have been like.

I will admit that the recent Study chapters have been on the short side, for whatever reason. Though I have written out about 17k words worth of material over the last month, and hopefully more as I work through November.

Thanks, I'll pop over to that chapter to fix that.
