A Darkened Land Arc 2 Progress · 10:28pm Apr 24th, 2016
As some of you may or may not know, I took a brief break from writing during a rather heavy load of school work. It had felt like writing new chapters had become a chore, and so I stepped away for a bit. Sure enough, after spending some time away I redeveloped a writing itch and came back to it. Since then I've written a few more chapters and I thought I would give an update to where I am with arc 2:
TL;DR current status:
Chapter 9: 100%
Fluttershy's Side Story: 100% (posted)
Chapter 10: 100%
Lyra's Side Story: 100% (posted)
Chapter 11: 80%
Chapter 12: 00%
Chapter 13: 00%
Chapter 14: 00%
Chapter 15: 00%
Chapter 16: 00%
(Note: the entire arc is already planned and plotted)
So this is sort of like a half-way point blog. Although in reality, I'm hoping the second half will be much, much shorter than the first. Over the course of today I'm going to finish chapter 11 and then finish chapter 12 in the following week. My upcoming semester is going to be a lot lighter and less draining than the one I just finished, so I should be having more energy to write.
If you're wondering why I haven't posted chapter 9 or 10 yet: as I've said before I plan to work on and post this story in arcs. The idea is that I can better go back and edit chapters to create a more cohesive story. The idea is that once an arc is complete and edited, I won't be wishing I could go back and change something later. So yeah, it's taking a while between updates.
Anyway, feel free to forget about this story for a bit. When it does come back, you can rest easy knowing there'll be a stream of regular updates for a while.
I really love this amazing story.
I know that feel. I do.
Never! It is one of the best things on Fimfiction.
