Progress on stories. · 10:27pm Oct 1st, 2016
So, quick confession time, 2016 has been rather a rough and crappy year for me, in terms of jobs, friendships and financial standing. That's kind of why my production has dropped off a bit due to having to constantly deal with a new issue in my life before I can sit down and get back to writing.
Sadly I've hit yet another job related problem that's going to require my attention, and as such I've let the next chapter of 'Friendship is Scaleless' slip because...well, honestly, it's kind of proving problematic in its own right. I'm about 90% of the way through, and I'm starting to see why I can't keep doing battles where a large party faces off against one enemy. Yes it hopefully attests to Gwyndolin's badassery that he's holding his own against multiple foes, but on the flip side I'm having a hard time coming up with a role for everyone on the opposite side to play. Already had to re-write this chapter twice cause I realized I left Spike, then Discord out of the action, and now I'm trying to figure out how I can have them enter the fray while also having Fluttershy and Priscilla still play their parts. Think after I finish this, I'm going to have to split everyone up more so there's more opportunity for them to stand out.
I know a lot of my readers say they don't mind waiting, but it still bothers me when there's too long a gap between installments like this. Thus I have to assure everyone I'm still working to keep my series alive ('Romancing the Recently Revealed Robot' will also soon be getting a new chapter), just it may take me a while longer.
Thank you all!
