    Story Scraps 4

    Alright folks, we're in uncharted territory now. This story idea didn't even have a name when I stopped really adding to it. It's not even a fully coherent plot, the middle part, of course, being the sticking point for me. Initially I wasn't sure if it was too big for one story and needed to be split into two or not.

    Story Scraps Part 3

    To continue on with AJUO: Apocalyptica, I do have to admit this is where the idea as a whole started to get "fuzzy" if you will. I'd mentally charted out most everything up until this point in time, but when it comes to the middle of my stories everything goes up in the air in terms of what I definitively want. I start strong and end strong with ideas; I know where I am, and where I want to end

    Story Scraps Part 2

    Hey all! Sorry to be late, but I ended up having technical issues. My computer crashed on me multiple times, and I needed to find out if it's a hardware issue or not. Continuing on from Sunday's exploration into the dunes of Saddle Arabia, let's focus back on Equestria, and take a look at what would have been AJUO 3.

    P.S. I'm not dead yet

    "Hustlin Tom," the wizened old man exclaimed as he looked at the young lad looking up to him, a glint in his eyes as the mysterious music in the background swelled. "Hustlin Tom," he murmured again, shaking his head up and down in recognition, "Now that's a name I've not heard in a looong time." He shook his head a little more, "A long time." "You know him," the youth asked, his face

July Check-in: Chapters coming next week · 12:59pm Jul 4th, 2016

Hey there fine netizens!

So I just checked and it seems that it's been nearly four months since my last update and chapters. Oops. I feel though that I might have a semi-valid excuse. I was prepping for my final semester in university, and then I graduated. I then practically walked straight from the commencement floor into an internship at a battery production company that has consumed an enormous amount of my time. I've still been stockpiling chapters, but it's been hard giving them their appropriate focus when I've been doing 8 hour shifts of manual labor for 5-6 days out of the week, and am feeling like a tired dog after every shift. There is a hope spot however. I have this whole week off because the factory floor is down for annual maintenance, so that gives me a ton of free time. I want to average writing a chapter a day, and start posting new chapters on Sunday one each day until I run out. Another good thing is that my internship is over at the end of July, meaning I'll be hunting for a real job, and that I'll hopefully have more of a chance to be creatively stimulated. I want that to translate into writing and posting more chapters, but the job search will of course come first.

That's really I've got for now, so I hope to see you in a few days! Peace.
