    Well. This is new. And horrible.

    I’ll be candid and short, since my typing is currently compromised by lack of computer and a ventilator that makes voice-to-chat darn near impossible.

    UPDATE:

    Another Month, Another Update

    It feels somewhat hyperbolic to open with "EVERYTHING IS WORSE NOW", but here we are.

    Recently, the Kirin Fans of Cuteness group performed a story exchange, and I was a participant! Hooray!

    Then my symptoms got worse! Bleh!

    Life Update: Things Suck Bad (rereading everything to get back to writing though!)

    It's... been a bit hasn't it? I really shouldn't leave people in the dark so long. But when it's sometimes this dark, I just have to stare at a wall and wonder if any of my (lovely, wonderful, marvelous) watchers really care to hear what's going on.

    Update: Monkey's Paw

    "Boy, I know the oncologist said before that he expects the surgery to happen within 2 to 3 weeks, but I hope not. I'd want to be able to move around at least for my birthday. Gee, I wonder what the surgeon is going to say today..."

    And the Monkey's Paw clenches.

    GENERAL WARNING. Moroseness and details on bad cancer stuff incoming.

New Trixie Chapter FRIDAY (pacific time) · 6:11am Jul 23rd, 2020

It's done. Sweet Celestia, that was a hard chapter to get through. Something like twenty or more rewrites, and more than a few cut... um, chapters' worth of material. But that's not the thing that really... really made this a hard chapter to finish.

Okay, it was. But there was another thing. The content of this chapter is just... hard. Like, I need to write something happy next or I'm gonna crawl into a ball and never stop crying.

Ya'll remember that scene from the Steven Universe movie? The one where Spinel loses her... well, that one time she loses her shit and starts crying over what she'd doing?

That's me. Just... wailing on poor Trixie for the past couple of updates, screaming, "What am I doing? Why do I wanna hurt you? I just want to be your friend!?"

So for anyone who wants me to stop torturing Best Horse... I'm aware.

But the next update? Now, that one will be fun. Since we'll finally be in the happy part of the plot. Where Trixie and Starswirl travel the lands, hustle some ponies out of their bits, and try to stop causing a paradox every other day!

Oh, it'll be fun!

I know the feeling perfectly, being a writer that uses suffering as a form of growth, and I've cried many times writing my Sunset story.
But the important thing is knowing they will pull through it eventually or die and not have to worry about it anymore.
Either way, I can't wait for the next chapter!

Nice. I don't know if I'll have time between work and my stories and doing reviews, but I'll try to squeeze in reading this when I can. Gotta support my girl Starlight's best friend.

Hopefully, it'll be worth the wait! :twilightsmile:

If more of my stories were anywhere near your word-limit, I'd ask for more reviews, honest. But, when the one story I'd like to request is almost double the limit... :twilightblush:

Haha! Yeah, I don't always like putting that limit, but I like to get reviews done quickly. Though, aside from my red-tag restrictions, none my my rules are hard guidelines. Let me know what story you want reviewed and I'll try to take a look at it. I just can't promise it'll come out quickly, since it's over my word limit.

Ninjadeadbeard, you need this:

Damn. When you’re right, you’re right. And you? You’re always right.
