    Am Not Dead!

    Hey everyone. Sorry for the silence. The past year has not been kind to me. As such I feel an update is in order.

    Delayed Schedule

    I promised one chapter a month and I intend to keep that promise. But life has a funny way of getting in the way.

    In any event, the next chapter of the Element of Common Sense is finished barring some revisions but I realized that the next chapter would be a little jarring without some sort of build-up.

    Back in the Saddle

    All right, mourning is over.

    Yogi is dead, I will miss him but I have moved on. As such I finished the first arc to the Element of Common Sense and sent it off for prereading. I intend to get started on the next chapter as soon as possible, which brings me to a good point.

    When it rains it pours...

    A few days ago I mentioned that my dog Yogi went to the vet for an infection. He died today.

    I based the character of the same name in the Element of Common Sense on my actual dog and now I just don't know what to do. Ten years I have had him and now he's gone.

    I'll do my best to keep him alive in my stories for as long as I feel up to it. For now though, I just want to lay down.

    I'm Going to be Busy...

    Ok so not pony related but anyone interested in my stories should know that I won't be working on them for the foreseeable future.

    I thought that I was happily married for the past six years but today's events have made both of us realize that is not the case. We are divorcing (most likely) and I will be moving out of state.

Wow I'm Unorganized... · 10:33am Dec 19th, 2015

My last blog post was on Halloween?! It's not like I left anyone waiting for a new chapter update on some story I was writing...

If anyone is actually reading this, I'm sorry. I'm working on the next chapter for the Element of Common Sense I just realized about halfway through the original draft that this was going into horribly unrealistic territory and threw the entire chapter out. Now things are looking better.

You see I hate when things are done arbitrarily and the way the plot was moving the characters felt like they were too accepting of a strange monkey-like creature claiming that ponies are stupid. That's bad writing and I'm better than that. So yeah, first draft was trashed a few weeks ago. Second draft is looking much better.

I know, I'm slow. Sorry. I'll have it finished before the new year and then we'll see about getting the next chapter in.

Until next time.

I'm sure you'll get to it... someday.

3629187 Well I have found that I do tend to write better when I just slow down with it. My meticulous nature does result in a better final product though.
