Let the Year of the Rooster Commence!

Now back work, I can now start absorbing the powers of my Zodiac year, and I hope it would be a good one.

What i hope to achieve this year.

1) Develop enough animation assets to make at least an intro, leading to

2) Revive my Youtube Channel; the last video I made was a compilation of my visit to the 2015 Midwest Bronyfest (I still hope they have the footage from last year).

3) Get an apartment by this summer: One day sooner than later, my parents will have just about enough of me staying at their house for the summer while they get it renovated. While I have a job at a company that spans the whole country, it'll be better for me to get a home over a longer period than the dorms I live now. While I would pay around $300 a month, it'll reduce the cost of my education substantially, as I wouldn't have to pick up to four courses to stay at the dorms. This will also lead to

4) My own office: Taking a nod from my dad's office of at least five desktops (He's an IT person, it's expected), having a one room apartment or a studio one should give me enough space to buy at least one more desktop computer (preferably a Cintiq display and a Mac Desktop drive like the ones at my school now), and a Microsoft Surface Tablet (my digital sketchbook so to speak). Which now leads to

5) Improved artwork: With recent and powerful tech at my disposal, I should now improve my workflow and, with practice, create higher quality work that I can place in my portfolio.

6) Last major step; Regarding my Stories: Having burned myself over last year, I would like to take a big break. There's plenty of material from me to go around and should last you around a week if you're a fast reader. As for new material, it will be few and in between.

The New Timeline: There'll be just a three chapter miniseries that bridges the chapter "Where is Thy Sting" with the Season 6 finale. Seeing as my own finale wasn't that well recieved, know that in the Jongojiverse, "To Where and Back Again" occurs slightly later.

Vacant Niches: I plan to have Arc 3 be just around four chapters. I was planning to have Anon/You be mutated and have the Human Mane-iac be your rival. But I already have the Maximals and Predacons, who are mutates, so I'll keep you unique as a Crusader. Mane-iac, or the person that becomes her, will be a thorn to the Rainbooms instead. After that, Arc 4, the final arc I'll make before declaring it complete, will be a five-parter that deals with a series of natural disasters before having you and your posse join forces with the Rainbooms, Shadowbolts, and the Predacons to avert the source of the problem

The "Apple Love" Trilogy as I would call them probably won't be released this February; They'll still be published three days in a row, but after the relative success of "Together Again," I would like to take the time to have them edited/pre-read before publishing them.

Following the success of "Sonata's Stare Affair," Aria and Adagio will have their stories. They won't rhyme this time , but are still slice of life stories. After that, there'll be a "pilot" of sorts involving misadventures with Aria and Sonata.

The rewrites to Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games will probably be on the backburner, as will the TMNT crossover I mentioned two blog posts ago.

Other than that, there'll be some random stories based on life experiences and things I found online as well as the group compilation I'm somewhat involved in.

That's all I have for now. Happy New Year.
