Half the time I don't even know how I do what I seem to do so well. I try not to think too hard on it, for fear of breaking myself in the process.

    I have an idea, and I need some feedback because this might be a big one

    It goes without saying, I'm not the fastest writer around these parts. Not anymore at least. Anymore it takes time to get an idea figured out, written down, and refined to the point I want to release it for being read. But this doesn't lend itself well to getting the chapters and updates churned out. And unfortunately it leaves you with more ideas being backlogged than you want to admit. It

    Small update

    Ever since the last chapter I've been stumped on what to do with the next chapter.

    I'm happy to report that I'm 1.3K words into the next chapter, so things are slowly but surely getting done.

    Not dead

    Neither I nor the story are dead as of the time of this posting.

    Turns out writing Ulquiorra from the outside perspective of uninitiated ponies is a lot harder than I thought it'd be, and I'm having to spend a lot more time in the brainstorming stage than I'm accustomed to.

    Why?

    Why is it so damn hard to write at times?

    Why does the prospect of sitting down to type up an idea and give it physical form, seem to just suck the life and enthusiasm right out of you?

    A thought

    The current chapters for HIE are proving to be a lot harder to write than I thought. Even harder when you've got distracted thoughts flaunting themselves at you.

The next chapter is going to be more delayed than originally planned. Based on feedback, I'm looking at ways to revise and streamline the next few entries of the story to speed things up, and feel less bogged down by filler in the form of character observations and such. Writing such is fun and all, provides an opportunity to put in little details for the fans to catch onto, and helps foreshadow future events without seeming overly obvious. But there's a time and place for such, and it's time to get on with it.

So it's back to the drafting phase to figure out exactly what I want to do, and what can be reserved for deleted scenes and such.

Been should've done this fam. You're not building a cinematic universe here.

You're right, I'm not. Nor was that ever my intention. I had a relatively simple story planned out when I started writing, and then this happened. That's my fault for being overwhelmed when the story exploded in popularity. Suddenly I found myself in the featured box because it's a story about everybody's favorite Espada. Then I started feeling the need to justify and verify the popularity with my talent and style for writing, instead of relying on Ulquiorra's presence alone. Because if the popularity of the story is just the main character that was selected, that would mean everything I've been doing with world building and scene illustration, doesn't amount to anything.
