    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.

Weekly-ish Update: Slowed Output and a Rewrite · 12:24am Sep 1st, 2020

Because no one asked for it, an update!

And also because I'm funny like that, I'll start with the Rewrite. If anyone recalls a little story of mine called Who Wears the Pants, you might see (within a few minutes of this blog) that there's a "new" chapter. That... isn't. To be blunt. After some soul-searching, I realized that there were some elements of that otherwise silly story that don't reflect well on me, as well as some illogicalness that I should have fixed originally, and I've since decided to change a few lines of dialogue to fix these issues. The original form of the story will remain, though a disclaimer will be added as an author note on all concerned parts of the story to make it clear what's what.

So... what have I been doing in the meantime? Despite needing some time to recharge my Trixie batteries, I've done a bit of work on the next chapter of Legend of Trixie. Specifically, a chapter from Starswirl's perspective, as he tries to drag an unconscious Trixie through the woods to safety.

I've also done... a tiny bit of writing on other, less-important stories. Mostly shorts that I wish I could focus more on, but the longer, ongoing stories are demanding more and more attention lately. Honestly, since I hit my 1-year Here-iversary here, I went back and looked at my "older" stuff, and realized that I posted a ton of stuff in my first few months, with a bit of a drop-off since then. I hope I can reverse this trend soon.

Speaking of which... All These Midnight Days is going ahead. Probably a third to a half of a way through a new chapter. On the plus side, it's going quickly! On the down side, it's... going quickly. Not sure if the pacing is working, just yet. Hopefully, that'll work itself out eventually.

Preview!


And the other Princesses…

What in Equestria is that thing!?

“It’s like… like a chicken missing its feathers! Luna! KILL IT WITH FIRE!”

… were seemingly acting their age.


I didn't say it would be a long preview.

Hope everyone is surviving! Ciao!

You've been slowing down on writing after an early hot start? Glad it's wasn't just me:rainbowlaugh:

My first month here as a writer, I released 5 stories in a month, though I didn't spend nearly as much time editing back then as I do now.

This august will be the first month where I released no new stories. Talk about a drop-off!

Let's go! Swirly chapter!

"Speaking of which... All These Midnight Days is going ahead. Probably a third to a half of a way through a new chapter."

That's good to hear.
