    Just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here as live is slowly getting back to normal.

    Chapter taken down

    I received a comment today informing me of some serious errors in the latest chapter of Dueling Around Canterlot. I have tried to fix it, but in doing so realized it's going to take some serious rewriting to make it work.

    I will repost it when all is correct

    From Bad to Worse

    Hey all. Been a while since my last blog post and, well, as you can guess by the title things aren't much better.

    About three weeks ago, my wife was in a car accident and she had to be rushed to the hospital. Right now she is recovering at home while we deal with a number of issues. It's getting crazy, but the good news is that she's out of the danger zone

So sorry · 11:18pm Jul 20th, 2019

For a while now I have been struggling with this latest chapter of Twilights Kingdom of Steam. Today will mark the sixth time I have deleted everything and started from scratch! Yeah, it's that hard.

In the past I have had trouble getting my words down, but this time it has been extremely hard. Might be due to the heat wave I'm dealing with but whatever. I just keep writing the characters ooc. Or just plain boring. Or I just want to skip this and move on to the next chapter. Hopefully I will get this done soon.

I just wanted to let you all know this story isnt dead and I am giving it my full attention

Would having an editor help? I'm more than happy to lend my services to one such as you.

Thanks. If I get having trouble I'll take you up on that offer

Maybe try moving to the chapter 23, then backfilling chapter 22. (Then, if necessary, tweaking chapter 23 to make sure there are no inconsistencies with 22)
Or maybe write some other story in the same universe as a one shot, and that might help you with this chapter.

Writers block can be a brick wall, and trying to smash through it is but one way to move on.

Well the chapter was supposed to be about Twilight meeting with several companies for military equipment and then showing Golden Stake again. However a scene were Twilight went ballistic on him for a misunderstanding has had me at ends. The chapter was also going to do several other things so right now I think I should focus on the important stuff

Take your time just happy this not dead you are continuing it to many good dead story's like this one on my tracking list already just glad I won't have to add a good story like this to the pile

I suggest takeing a long break from it, if the heat is bothering you go chill for awhile someplays with good ac and good company, let your mind go other places and if yout hink of an idea for the story jot it down on something pocket it and save it for later, give it maybe a week without realy dweeling on it too much and then come back to it with any little ideas you came up with and see what you can do.
everyone needs a break now and then to reacharge, ya know?

Take a break? Maybe write something relating ot the castle staff instead? Something to break the stalemate?
