An Update · 9:15pm Jun 2nd, 2019
It's been six months since the last update!?
Yeah... It has. I don't know where the time has gone.
When I started writing Fallen Canterlot I told myself I would try for a new chapter every 2-3 weeks, and I was able to keep that going. But then I got a job. Now it's 2 years later and the story isn't even half way done.
I have time and time again been trying to pick my writing back up. But between work, friends, archery practice and working on Equestria at War, progress just isn't being made. It's also partly my fault. For the last few months I've struggled to actually do anything at all. Getting myself to open up word and start typing has been so march harder then actually writing them.
I also struggle to read these days. My mind always finds itself elsewhere, same for anything really. Even as I was writing this line I found myself suddenly needing to go and do other things. Twice! It frustrates me and I'm not sure what to do.
Anyway, this has mostly been me rambling. But if you where wondering where the next anything from me is, the answer is that I'm working on it.
Fallen Canterlot chapter 10 is still in progress. Will it be done this month? Probably not in all honesty. I have an exam for work coming up half way through June and I am trying to spend all my free time revising (not working for the same reasons above). But I am committed to actually finishing something for once. No matter how long it will take.
I am sorry for the delay. I really am. Thank you for your patience.
Sounds to me like an overstressed mind, or developing ADD. Neither option is particularly good, and worrying about it makes it worse.
But RL is more important than this, we can be patient for this and you, but you must be patient with yourself.

Or maybe guilt/grief for some reason, IDK I'm not a psychologist.
Wait,six months? Can't be!
Hell I really lose track of time fast.
Just take your time, rl first and all that, right?
I'll just do what I can do best: wait. And if it takes you 10years to finish it, I'll just wait. Don't have much else to do. (playing World of Warships counts as waiting, right?)
Good luck with your exam.
It's okay man, don't stress yourself out over this kind of thing. You're far from the only writer who goes through this, and it's easy to let yourself feel too guilty over it when really writing motivation and writer's block are pretty common problems. On top of that, real life is important and needs to be handled. But I can understand it's frustrating. I've been in the same boat plenty of times (heck, even presently). There's no one solution, you just have to find what works for you. For me, it was just training myself to have the habit of writing at around the same time each day, until it was ingrained a habit as taking a shower or eating lunch. For you it could be a matter of anything from finding the right environment to write in (listening to music, finding a quiet spot) to finding a particular time that works even if its just one day out of the week.
But regardless of how much time it takes, if you keep writing, it'll eventually lead to progress, and I'll be looking forward to whenever Fallen Canterlot updates.
