It's taken a while because of a dread horror. Not that of writer's block, but of... PLOT DEVELOPMENT. *lightning crashes*
Okay so here's the thing, I had to chart out the entirety of plot development for The Dragonbourne Identity so I don't write my self into a plot hole infested corner later on, just so I can write the next chapter of TFW Nudes which, as I've explained before, is the first chapter of TDI, because both TFW Nudes and TDI are prequels to The Dragonbourne Supremacy. Lost yet? Me too. BUT I'm finally past all that noise and actually made a dent in the chapter. 7K words and there's just a little bit left. It should be out this weekend, most likely Friday, at the latest Saturday. I just have three maybe four sections left.
There's been some personal issues interfering with my ability to write. Namely my sensory issues (I have autism) have been majorly spiking and looking at a white screen physically hurts my eyes and makes me nauseous. I've had to do most of my writing on my iPhone with the night shift turned on, but I was lucky enough last night to push through and actually use my computer, which I haven't used to write anything since Stupid Girl. Yeah, that long ago. [speaking of, that's definitely on the to-do list, but I legit don't know if I want it to be super long or medium length. I know how the last chapter will go, but everything else? psshh, I have no freakin clue, the entire chapter was written with zero planning whatsoever]. But regardless, last night's session basically wrote itself, and I fridge logic'd myself to victory. I spontaneously came up with workable plot arcs for everyone important who didn't have one already, put side characters who I want to keep safe on buses now have reasons for being gone, crammed in the arcs I didn't think that I would have room for, and I think the writing is pretty okay despite being dialogue-heavy. It's not nearly as exposition dump-y as I was worried it would be. I also did make a few questionable decisions that in hindsight work out better and tie in with the rest of the chronology so I'm not worried about that.
So, I'm not dead. My new job is just taking a lot more out of me than I thought, and they're are really painfully incompetent and expect me to do unpaid training at home before they schedule me for more hours. They treat me like an incompetent idiot, which I mean is fine for employers because they're high on business degrees (and weed so at least I can safely get high at home and keep my job), but the customers openly mock me as if I'm not way smarter and more capable than all of them and would be a chemical engineer by now if not for some serious medical issues. But it's whatever. I have money coming in now and I won't get evicted so I can keep on writing.
As for the future. If TDI takes off it won't supersede TFW Nudes (my #1 priority right now), but it will be right behind Milkshake (my #2 priority right now) and Spike's C*mming Of Age (my #3 priority right now). Tales of Symponya and my Fireflies AU fics (season 2 finale and the pilot) are on the front burner. Fluttershy Goes Loopy, Crash Blitzkrieg, and Harvester of Sorrow are on the back burner, along with Supernova, my Thunderlane/Lightning Dust/Stone Temple Pilots fic and the Breaking Bad HiE crossover. Yes, you read that right. No, it's not the character you think it is. But it's all going to be done. Every day they get more and more polished and to the point of publishing. I wanna thank everyone for being patient and not hounding me about when the next chapter is coming. It's coming. I have the other TFW Nudes sequel (the one that isn't TDI that I can't tell you the name of because spoilers) in casual development, and the second half is all charted out and ready to go once I finish the damn Equestria part. Idk why I put myself into this situation but I did and I know that when I come out the other side it'll all have been worth it. I hope.
So yeah, I'm gonna cut this here and get back to work. I sure as hell don't have any hours since management is idk high I guess. So back to the writing board I go.
edit- actually it's done now
