    Remodel?

    I thought that I should probably do a remodel of my page over the next week. Sort of a Re branding kind of thing perhaps?

    Yes, I'm still here

    I am still alive. I am still working on the next chapter to 3 Ponies and A Supercomputer, and I have many more stories planned. These last few weeks I've been working on a synthesis on the Odyssey and its cultural meaning to Dark Age Greek society, and Im very.. very happy to announce that I am finally done with it. Free At Last!!!. As it looks so far this week will be a pretty calm one,

    Delay with 3 Ponies and A Supercomputer chapter 4

    Apologies to anyone reading the story, but as seen I was not able to update on Saturday night. Saturday night's will still be the main update days, however, I was not able to get the new chapter out due to several factors out of my control. The new chapter will be out soon, sometime during the next week before Saturday (and this may affect another chapter being posted on Saturday as well).

    Ars Goetia

    Ars Goetia, the newest chapter in "3 Ponies and A Supercomputer", was to be honest a joyful pain. It was the most difficult chapter to write, and yet it was the easiest chapter to write. This week had been very eventful for me, and I had a large amount of stress with it. First it was the first week of my spring semester of college, and I began morning PT. Second, I had to go to a surprise

    Plans with the start of College again

    Tomorrow I begin a new semester of college, and while I would't normally make a post like this I believe I should since this semester will possibly affect my writing. What is special about this semester is that tomorrow begins my military science courses for Army ROTC, and I will have to be up most days of the week at 5:30 AM (meaning I'll have to get to sleep sooner on top of being at school

Plans for "3 Ponies and A Supercomputer", and future story plans. · 6:49pm Jan 6th, 2018

3 Ponies and A Supercomputer is my first story that I have published, I say published, on fimfiction. To be honest it took a long time for me to not only choose a story I wanted to write about but to also publish one. If one were to look in my story folder they would find a wide plethora of stories with various different genres that remain untapped.
Of all the stories I could have chosen for my first publication I chose 3 Ponies and A Supercomputer. When I first started thinking about the story and putting pen to paper I was very much enthralled with the works of Harlan Ellison and Umberto Eco, and I wanted my story to be in a ways a combination of ideas I had from Harlan Ellison's story I have no mouth, and I must scream and Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. Overall with what has been published so far the influences from Ellison are readily apparent; I started my story in a fashion like Ellison's, and chose to put the story in the 1st person omniscient.
3 Ponies and A Supercomputer is a story that is for me, as the author, a mixed bag. I had a large amount of inspiration for it, and I still do, however, it is a mixed bag because of all of the ideas that I have had this to me is my most challenging. I am trying to incorporate a large amount of ideas while keeping the story original and entertaining. The narrative style is something that I have studied for awhile, however, I find that it very much makes it difficult for me to express everything that needs to be expressed without being too short or technical.
Now to the plans. For 3 Ponies and A Supercomputer I plan on releasing a new chapter every week on Saturday night. So far I have not finalized how long I want the story to go for, and perhaps I may leave that to popular support for it. I have had some ideas though, I am thinking that the story will be anywhere from a novelette (7,500-17,500 words) to a novella (17,500-40,000 words) in size.
Other than the small bit that I have mentioned here I'm not sure if I should release anymore information yet, so this will be it for this blog.
For my other stories that I have planned I will be releasing the majority of them as one-shots. I believe that until I finish 3 Ponies and A Supercomputer I cannot be working on another major story. And of the stories I am now considering there is an adventure story starring Daring Do as main protagonist, and there are a few slice of life stories that are still in the works. I hope to have a one-shot out within the next two weeks.
Well thanks for anyone read this, I hope I can entertain.
