    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.

    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.

Friday Update on Midnight Story · 6:49am May 1st, 2021

It sucks that my outline for this story is, like, five sentences. Heck, I've got a few shortened outline notes that total around one full sentence if you squint.

All These Midnight Days's final-ish* chapter is... well. I just spat out 4k words today alone. The total runtime of this final-ish outing is already at 17 thousand words, with the truly final climax still to come. But, at least I've finally pressed on through the worst of the emotional turmoil... maybe? A significant percentage of it, anyway.

So. Yeah. We're looking at a finale that's going to land in the same ballpark as the entirety of Midnight at the Crystal Library, this story's first prequel!

I don't think I can adequately describe the agony I'm in. The story must be told, but it's just... I'm fully aware that it's been almost a month with no update. I am painfully aware that people (at least some people) want to see how this all turns out. And not being able to deliver for so long is killing me.

Still... almost there. It's coming. And once this nightmare of a chapter--

Actually, no. This nightmare of several chapters. I will be uploading all of it in one, big, cluster bomb of chapters. I might wait a day or two between updates just to assert dominance or something, but I will drop it all at once!

And then... the real finale!

And then, other stories! Hell, maybe even a few Anarchy short stories. Time will tell.

Until then, goodnight you lovely people. And happy weekend.

*Of course there will be a denouement epilogue to wrap things up and let you all breathe a bit. I'm not a monster.


But then... what to work on next?

I'm looking forward for that. Also next alicorn will be Snails, princess of buckball and of course Trixie.
