Chapter 129 update! (And some updates on me and such) · 10:16pm Jun 21st, 2016

Them clouds are thicker than they look...

So... I'll start off by saying that i'm sure you've all noticed my updates have slowed a tad... this is mostly because i've more or less stopped writing on the weekends. It's not because i don't have the motivation, it's because i'm taking precautions to lower the stress level on myself. I already bite the bullet and write after spending the whole day at work every monday-thursday, so i've pretty much scrapped friday saturday and sunday so as not to overwhelm myself.

SO that being said, Chapter 129 hasn't even been started on yet HOWEVER, that is really only because i just finished the dialogue mapping of it. (I map out the dialogue for each chapter to help simplify the writing process, it's part of what helps me keep up the update schedule.) This chapter has a lot of dialogue... and because a certain character is in it... i was eager to really go to town with her, especially because it's been a long time since i have. (First time i've taken time to plan her out as well... so expect some FUN :pinkiecrazy: *Name of said character has been withheld to avoid spoilers fo those catching up*)

Anyway, i've finished the dialogue mapping, so now im getting started on the chapter itself. My best guess is it will be out some time next week.

I am also gathering up lots of fan art again, im making a commitment to not wait so long anymore (we've heard THAT before :ajsleepy:) so there should be a fan art blog soon.

There were some cameos at the beginning of chapter 128 (Astral's scouts), i'm going to post a fun little blog explaining those as soon as i get all the little art pieces i need for it.

Finally, me... this is a bit silly, but i feel like sharing it. So i normally take 2 weeks of every 14 weeks off from weight lifting (cause i'm insane and am a gym rat) but im on my 4th week off right now because i injured my shoulder... and rule number 1 of nursing an injury, don't come back until it's 100% better or else it will just get worse. Unfortunately, the gym is a very important part of my life. It's a source of stress relief, confidence, and socializing with fellow gym enthusiasts. My two weeks off often feel VERY LONG because im away from this stuff... so you can imagine how long 4 weeks has felt so far :raritydespair: So i've been feeling a little down... but not like... depressed, just stressed out because of no relief. I'm also one of those meatheads that looks in the mirror after taking some time off and turns into a drama queen about my muscles looking smaller, when in reality im just as buff as when i looked in the mirror before i took time off. GYMRAT PROBLEMS! :raritycry::raritycry:

Anyway... ignore that last part i'm just being over-dramatic wahaha...:rainbowlaugh::derpytongue2:

Can't wait for the next chapter.

You'll get back to the gym soon.

NIGHTSHADE JUST TGTTTTGYYGRTTFTGTHYTYJ

I know that feel being from gum or a routine you were used to spend your time while enjoying it...it's always painfull at the start as we end being dramatic in some point but we must endure.An injury especially in shoulder needs its time to heal and should not taken lightly even after its ok:applejackunsure:wish best of recovery:)

4039422 i agree with the chapter bit :rainbowlaugh: and the gym bit too :rainbowwild:


4039436 i get your pain :rainbowlaugh:

4039445 Do you agree that Moon is Blue?

Can't wait for chapter 129!:pinkiehappy:

ah i know the feeling of being injured and not being able to do anything but hey it passes still I wish a swift recovery for you

you'll be back at the gym in no time ya big lug

Y'all get some R&R now, hooah? :twilightsmile:

Not to worry, Fleet! We shall get you out, once we assess the situation properly which should take several minutes! :rainbowlaugh::derpytongue2:

:scootangel:Ok I really just need to say this, I found it funny. Sky is an old OC. I only use him on this site, but everywhere else I use my main OC, Astral Skies. I've had this OC for about 3 or 4 months now but the only actual commission I have of him is an NSFW post my ex put in so I can't exactly post it of course. Instead I have this which I uploaded 2 months ago when my ex needed a ref sheet. Astral Skies
So every time you say the name Astral, this is what I picture.. :rainbowlaugh:
The only problem would be that my Astral as you may notice is a bat pony, so unless you'd put him in as a random guard he obviously isn't in the story. I just thought it was an odd coincidence in names.

Besides all that, I can't wait to see the fan art, it's always interesting to see what people draw and send you. And of course, take as long as you need for those chapters. As far as I'm concerned, each word is worth the wait! :pinkiehappy::raritywink:

4039451 IN my world it is-- apparently not in the real world though. :rainbowlaugh:

I hear you on getting thrown off when your routine is interrupted. We moved from an area with lots of jogging trails to an area with none, meaning my evening running time got curtailed. I tend to get stabby when that happens, so I told my husband that joining a gym with good child care and lots of treadmills is an investment in my mental health. He didn't argue :twilightsheepish:

Take your time with writing, we aren't going anywhere!

4040322 Indeed, in my world he blows up and turns pink.:pinkiecrazy:

4041178 :rainbowlaugh: we have two very different worlds then :rainbowwild: because he (?) glows in my world :rainbowlaugh:

4041184 So does mine... if he quit glowing, everyone would be worried because that would mean he was dead. But his 'glow' changes color on his mood.

4039744 This is a hooah free zone. Aldo if you were really HOOAH, you'd know that the only cure is to take motrin and dink water.

But in all seriousness I hope your recovery is swift, Calm Wind.

4042263 Haha, I'm not in yet but I look forward to learning one of the most valuable skills of all: How to sleep anywhere, anytime.
