Delighting You Always · 1:43pm Aug 31st, 2012

Hey guys!

I'm a little rushed at the mo'. My trial exams are coming and I'm slightly ticked by them, so I thought I let you guys know what's going on.

Basically, my country's celebrating a rather dull independence day. I'm sure countries like America's 4th of July has fireworks and stuff, but basically the government here is considered crappy. Literally crappy. It's not really democratic, if you know what I mean.
I've started a little on my studies, but I'm more interested in typing out the four stories I've been working on, including Laurels itself.

Here's basically what I'm doing so far:

Laurels & Lace - Chapter 44 and onwards
Well, needless to say, the title is Fragments Of Reticence. The mystery part is losing it's touch, so I thought of putting it back in from this chapter. I've actually finished a giant chunk of it, but my computer just had to jam itself. So, I'm starting again.
Basically, this chapter focuses on the continuation of the family line (Evanescence and Chaperon) as well as a little expansion of what's going on at Pendant Lakes.
Soon after the last two Voyagers are revealed together (you heard them! Two names at once!), I'll start a group of chapters collectively titled The Voyager's Arc that literally explains about the Six Voyagers and what they've found out. It'll come up some time after Twilight, RD, Soarin', Pinkie and Winter actually reached Pendant Lakes.
Without A Trace Of Pink
Generally, it's on an indefinite hiatus, since I have no idea what to place after RD made a promise to her pink friend. I'll tangle it up from the mess somehow. I'm definitely clear on what happens after RD went to search for Pinkie Pie throughout Ponyville and then around Equestria, but then that's about it, I'm afraid.
Restless For Hope
Not really sure if I wanna continue this...
It's some sort of concoction. I'm not really planning on starting this just yet. Maybe some time in the future or so...
Evening Star
Based on Poe's poem of the same name. It's sort of a tragedy/sad fic involving Applejack and Apple Bloom.
When I finished, only then I'm gonna post it up. I don't want to leave people hanging at the edge of the seat from this story.

So..................... that's about it! Unless I can come up with something engaging enough to draw me away from the main focus (Laurels) I would be happy to finish the three up.

*Cue door slam*

Heya!

Pinkie? What are you doing?

Getting cider, of course!

I don't drink cider, Pinkie. Plus, I'm only like what? Sixteen?

Exactly! Age of the freebie!

That doesn't mean I like cider...
Well anyways, I've learnt how to draw Pinkie and every other of the Mane 6 by hand lately, although I have no idea how to make a color-pencil cutout to appear onto the screen. Plus, I'm not used to vector drawings, which I really like myself!
Maybe in the future I'll learn, but I gotta focus on my future career, which involves writing but not in a way you think.

Feel free to ask what it is! I won't mind!

What is it?

Well, I think you know very much what it is, Pinkie.

Really?! What is it?!

I'll tell you later.

Can't you tell me now?

I'm a little busy at the mo'

But you said you wouldn't mind~!

*sigh*
She's giving me that look again. Not some sad look, though...

Cannon or no Cannon?

Fine, fine...
Just wait for a little....

Okay. She's satisfied now and I'm pretty much living another day.
Better finish things up. This is qualified for a story now...
When I take up vectors, I'll try to give you a visualization of the hundreds of OCs in Laurels, just to let you know how they look like.
You might say: "what about pony simulators, similar programs, etc. etc?"
To me, it's very limited, especially the Cutie Marks and the positions. It doesn't show how their character is like from my good perspective, and being a perfectionist, you get the idea.

Anyways, gotta go now! Resuming the gathering of lost data...
Well, I have to say this to cheer myself up, but I'll let this drawing speak!
