so two long years update · 9:50am Jul 30th, 2017
after watching a video on the internet I like I realize now I owe all of you waiting for life in lace to get finished
so let's start out this long tale with why I stopped updating initially, to put it bluntly a personal tragedy (I'm sure you probably don't give a shit about the specifics) came into my real life and one year later another personal tragedy hit. long and short is that this killed my motivation for writing anything. I spent some time just gaming and bumming around in my house before I decided to try and go out and finish life in lace and well my drive to write that story just died. I have the ending pretty much set in my mind but I'm just not feeling it and I haven't cleared that with my editors. so right then I had to take an inventory of why life in lace flopped I had to figure out what I specifically did wrong. and I came to two conclusions
1. it was too long I just got bored of the concept and it felt like a chore to write
2. I was releasing it as soon as a chapter was done I now realize that for the future of a long form story I'll finish the entire thing first before posting up chapters.
to the end of point one I started writing shorter one off stories. all two of the completed ones can be found on my furaffinity page. and then yesterday happened and boom inspiration for a new idea and there's already a few chapters done (2 mostly).... and literally as I type this journal realized I need a 3 for the list.
3. don't bog down a concept with stupid bullshit
so to that end I want to honestly apologize for leading you all on for years about will it be done or won't it a few minutes after this journal goes public I'll be updating these stories completion status to reflect reality.
PS if you do check out the furaffinity page the life in lace fanart there is not reflective of the final reality I intend for life in lace if I ever get around to writing it again. amethyst/lavender will not I repeat NOT become an alicorn princess in the final few chapters of the story.
tldr version. probably not going to finish life in lace in the next century however there might be a new project in the pipeline but no promises. also if you're interested in my other works head on over to my furaffinity page https://www.furaffinity.net/user/firephoenixx456/ and I truly apologize for keeping you hanging for years. also don't worry about the life in lace fanart there, it's not canon. it's a relic from a discarded plot line.
