Chapter 10 Update

Happy Spring, every-pony! Well, the eclipse happened over where I live, and I got to witness it! I must say, the corona of an eclipse is much brighter than pictures can convey. The darkness itself was fascinating, like evening coming early, and we heard crickets start their chorus. We can only speculate what their reaction to daylight five minutes later was. And Venus was clearly visible

Chapter 10 Update

March Madness is here, every-pony! And with it comes an update to my progress with "The Sixth Alicorn." I have finished writing Chapter 10 long hand, and it stretches out to 5744 words over 21 and a half pages. It's certainly much shorter than my previous chapters, but don't worry; chapter 11 looks like it will be much more substantial, from what I have planned. I'm in the process of typing

Not dead! Chapter 10 update

Hi every-pony, I thought I should check in with all of you, since it's been a while since I provided any updates. As some of you may know, I lost my job in October of last year, and have been job hunting ever since. No luck yet, but it's not for lack of trying! I've been focused mostly on resolving that hiccough in my life, so you may well understand why I haven't been able to update. I've

Chapter Nine Uploaded!!!

Happy Nightmare Night, every-pony! Good news, I have finally posted chapter nine of The Sixth Alicorn! Final word count comes to 12,287, clipped from the initial 13,809. It took a long while to get this chapter written. Not only was this due to the usual travails of writing, but I had a number of personal setbacks to go through (such as getting terminated from my job!), as well as

Nightmare Night, here comes something sweet to bite!

Happy Nightmare Night weekend, every-pony! I have a treat coming up for you all. Chapter Nine of "The Sixth Alicorn" is entering it's final stage. I'm going through my final read-through of it at present. That should take a few more days. Look for the chapter update either on Mischief Night or Halloween itself, which I think you will find perfectly apt, given the sort of story I am writing,

I was delighted to discover that The Sixth Alicorn has finally crossed a thousand views! It's been a long time getting here, but I'm thrilled to discover that at least a thousand people have stopped by to give my story a chance. Thanks so much!

Whilst I'm here, I shall leave an update on Chapter Six. I'm still working on the rough draft. At this point, I have completed about 7700 words of it. I'd say I'm roughly over half done. I have had a set back or two, the most egregious being the snowstorm that blew through Texas. I live just outside the DFW Metroplex, and I ended up losing power for a full day. Thankfully, my plumbing didn't fail, and I had a gas heater, so I made it through. I even wrote a little of the story by candlelight. I write what I can. I'd hoped to get this out by March 20--which I have decided is Nyx's birthday, since she was born on the Spring Equinox--but that doesn't seem too likely now.

Anyways, stay safe!

Sincerely,

Shade Nightingale
