    Update

    Hey, I wanted to give you all a heads up.

    So this next chapter is a pretty major one for the story - on the level of the Gourd Fest, Twilight and Starlight in the snow, and the final cluster of 4-6.

    As such, I've been taking my time and am 7k words in and I know it's going to be more than double that.

    So I watched the last several episodes...

    It was such a cute ending. Very nostalgic-feeling. Didn't cry, but it made me reflect on the show that has been a constant in my life since spring of 2012.

    If you've heard any controversy about it, don't heed it any concern. It's the squalling of children unhappy that the story isn't what they wanted it to be - as it has been every season.

    This will be quick.

    Sorry I've been quiet as of late everybody! I graduated University and have been preparing to move to Las Vegas in about a week. Big changes! Big... big changes...

    It's the endgame, y'all

    That was a killer premiere. Honestly, Grogar has this gravitas to him, this insight and perspective that's already established him, in my mind, as a terrifying MLP villain. Being the source of everything evil, all the monsters we've seen, it's all on him. And that voice and the design? Oh! I love this villain.

    Last chapter of act 4 is finally finished

    At 44K words and 103 single-spaced pages on gdocs, the next chapter of 'The Broken Bond' is at last finished, and ho boy, a lot happens. I just need to edit it - expect it Saturday if not tomorrow. Thank you all for being patient with me.

Update on 'The Broken Bond' · 2:11pm Jan 20th, 2018

Hey guys! I'm just throwing this together so as to give the followers of this story an update on it.

Chapter 3, '(Honesty) - The Broken Life,' is partially written already. I know it feels like it's time for the next update, but with college beginning to start up these past two weeks, my time has been stretched thin. That's not to say I've spent no time on this story, or writing, but that is why I'm telling you this now.

I've gotten far enough into this story that I feel like I've assured longtime followers that this isn't one I plan on abandoning. If you weren't convinced before, then this is me telling you that now. However, like I've said before there are three fics on Fanfiction.net that I was in the middle of, which I put on hold to start this.

From here on out, I'm going to return to my cycle of writing a chapter for each of those, and then this one - mind you, that includes an entire chapter and not a "section" of a chapter like the second one was. Which, by the way, I'm aiming not to happen with the third chapter (it doesn't require nearly as much attention as the conversation with Twilight and Starlight did), but I've underestimated myself with this stuff many times before.

So yes, if you don't see an update for me in the next week or two, that's what I'm doing. But I'll make another blog post when I'm returning to writing chapter 3.

In other news, off on the side I've been going back to previous chapters with fellow Writer in Arms, JD McGregor. I've been helping him with his own Starlight fic 'Rebuilding' (which I highly recommend), while he's been assisting me with tightening the winded prose of this story into something much more well-written. The first chapter has already been refined! It's still exactly the same plot-wise, mind you - it just has better pacing and prose.

That's all for now. Farewell people!
