A Monumental Task · 1:32am Jan 5th, 2018
So... where to begin.
Okay, so this blog is for one of my bigger works that's currently published. What it Means, a self-insert revolving around the hero, Dee, and his adventures outside of Equestria. It was something I was quite proud to have published and I'm happy with the positive reception it's gotten and how far it's come.
I wanted to explore the area outside of Equestria. Because like we all know the standard trope for HiE is literally that; Human in Equestria. Equestria being the country we all know and love, filled with cute snuggable ponies that we all desire to hug deep down in our hearts and soul.
And so far, I've managed to do quite well with this story so far, or... at least, that's what I want to think.
But... I've been stuck, and one may ask why. Well... believe it or not, there is another entire arc done and ready to post, but I never posted it. The reason behind that was because I thought it was to cringy and OP in a sense, so I cut it out entirely.
This arc is one I named REBIRTH, and as of right now, that arc is a grand total of 71530 words, really think about that. I cut out an entire 70K words, that's like an entire story right there. Needless to say, it hurt to cut it out... but I still have the arc on here, I never deleted it, I just put it away.
And after talking with my sister about it recently, I had explained it in detail, told the story leading up to that particular arc itself. And after I was done she said she actually thought it was awesome.
And that got me thinking... it's just 70K words, I obviously can't rewrite the entire thing but I can rework it and freshen it up some, clean up some typos, mistakes and rewrite some tiny parts of it and work it into smaller amounts. It's like 6 giant chapters that I doubt anyone has the patience to read all the way through.
So... in conclusion of this blog, I have officially gotten back into writing and I'll be reworking those 70K words from now on until I can post them. Of course, this'll be right after the current arc I'm working on.
So if you're all interested in that, stay tuned folks, shit's about to get wild.
You would be surprised how much patience some people have. Out of everyone I know I think I have the most patience for I have read a story on this site called A Wolf Among Ponies that is a grand total of 752,668 words long with sixty-one chapters each ranging from three thousand to twenty-four thousand words long and when I started reading that story it was still being written, though I can't tell you what chapter I started on for it has been a year or so since I read the story. So yeah I think I can read 70K words.

Hehehe, I suppose that's true. I read a whole bunch of stories with crazy chapter lengths, so I get where you're coming from, hehe.
I'm probably gonna cut these down into smaller chapters though, about 5K or so in length for reader convenience, depending.
Yeah that might be a good idea. Personally I like the current length of the chapters so far. They give quite a bit to read but not too much in one sitting.
At least it's not diary of a madman, that story needs to die.

Holy fuck that story needs to be forgotten, not just killed

lol, I've heard of it but I never read the story myself. Is it seriously that bad?
4767378 it's a traon wreck that keeps going and going....
And going. There's a scene where the main guy gets raped by pinkie pie and rarity and the princesses do nothing.
Oh, and the story after many chapters and chapters is still going on!

... Good grief, I looked it up, two million words and counting, holy Christ. Yeah, What it Means isn't going to be like that in any shape or form, I can promise you all that.
