Updates on me. · 6:52am May 22nd, 2017
So two of the things I feared would happen has happened, alongside something else that I did not fear happening but which happened anyway.
As for the first, Season 7 of MLP has started, and yet again I find my muse hitting a roadblock as to whether I can, or want to, or even should use any of the material presented. For Friendship Is Scaleless this in turn has had the same effect as when The Ringed City DLC was released for Dark Souls 3. I feel I should remain respectful to the source materials that have given me so many ideas and enabled me to create so much content, yet doing so is going to require another potentially drastic shake up of my current story plans. By the same token, if I just ignore everything from Season 7 and go with what I've got set, I feel like I'd be cutting myself off from some good potential for tying into future plot points. I'm sure some would say the answer is obvious, but as I've perhaps hinted at before, I never gravitate towards the obvious answers to things if there's a more challenging and possibly less practical alternative. 
There's also the separate concern for Romancing the Recently Revealed Robot as I've now come to accept if I keep going with how I planned that series to continue then the actual title will gradually cease to apply. There'll still be plenty of Sweetie Bot and Spike shenanigans but the romance will start to take a bit of a back seat. As such I feel what I need to do is not repeat the same mistake I made with Scaleless and figure out how to end the series so I can do a sequel. The only issue of course is just finding a decent stopping point.
As for the second...well things IRL have also been shaken up considerably, both with my family and my job. It's nothing terrible (at least I sure hope not) but it's given me additional distractions from writing. I've been doing sporadic bits here and there but my output kind of needs me to take care of a few things before I can get back on track.
So that's where I stand and why I've just vanished for the past month. I'll do my best to get back to producing more stories as quick as I can.
Stay tuned everyone!
