Today is the last day to join, so if you want in on it, be sure to read over the rules and PM Shakespearicles!Writing update #X · 6:34pm Apr 3rd, 2018
Generic writing update. I have so many drafts for several stories, not all of them pony related, and somehow one keeps pulling ahead of the pack.
I think the next chapter for HCHL is 2/3 of the way through. It hasn't taken the direction I quite expected it to, but it feels right.
I keep waffling on whether or not I should find a new editing partner. Beast has had to bow out, and without an extra eye to catch my various screw ups I worry that the writing quality will dip. (If it hasn't already?) He did so much more than just line editing, but the line editing is the one thing I can replace in terms of help. (Because seriously, Beast's unique voice is irreplaceable) Editing was never my strong suit. Actually, I'm utter shit at it.
I don't know... Who has the time, the will, and the know-how to help keep my story from sounding like a grammatic nightmare? I don't have any kind of schedule I'm keeping-- I just sort of write as the will comes to me-- but I'm not keen on handing someone a complete draft only to have them sit on it for two weeks, y'know?
Meh. Just putting that out there. Editor or no, Chapter Eleven of HCHL will probably be up sometime this week or early next.
(Oh! And just FYI, I've mentioned on my blog that I will be moving out-of-state at the end of the month. The closer we get to the fateful date, the less time I'll have to write!)
I wouldn't mind giving it a shot, if you're still looking for editing help. Don't know that I'd be able to contribute much creatively, but I've got a pretty good head for grammar at least, and I've done a bit of editing for some of my friends.

Cool! I write with Google Docs. Once I finish this draft, I can send it to ya? I prefer comment mode for editing suggestions. I know I said I was aiming for the end of the week, but I'm more than willing to push that back if it means the chapter is cleaned up and purdy!
Sure, PM me the link when you're ready!
So is What They Expect to Give dead then?

Nah, I wouldn't say that! But it's my most intricate story as I have all these details and concurrent plotlines that I need to recall. So before I get back into it, I preeeetty much gotta read it over again. Since I've been not writing for sooooo long, I've been going for the stories that were easiest to get back into. All I can say is, we'll see! I've been known to update ongoing stories after years of inactivity. (maybe not what you wanna hear, but it's the best I got atm)
