    Not dead, here's a snippet to make it up.

    While I've been taking a really long break, I'm still writing while I can. Looking back, I was pushing a chapter nearly every month, and it finally caught up with me. Because of this, I'm trying another approach I've wanted to do for awhile, which was waiting until the story was finished first before publishing it slowly over a couple of weeks. For Colonel Hooves, there will be three chapters

    Colonel Hooves nearing the end, what are some plot points you feel need addressing?

    Hello people!

    Chapter 28 is finished, and I'll be starting the edits real soon, and with its completion I was left with the realization the story is finally reaching the end. I suspect another two chapters minimum before I write up an epilogue to wrap the story up, and this left me in a spot...

    Just a small preview of the upcoming chapter, and I'm happy to note we passed 5k words and are on trajectory to reaching 10k very soon!

    Colonel Hooves Chapter 27 update.

    Nothing extraordinary to say other then the changes have taking effect for good. My chapters will be much longer then before so be ready to read some chunkers in the coming months, because chapter 27 is already 4k words and all of that is just talking filler and none of the plot. I'm projecting another 10-12k chapter by the end of the month.

Colonel Hooves Chapter update · 3:13am Jun 9th, 2021

Ok so I'm 'finished' with the next chapter, and will begin making edits tomorrow when I get off work. But, I'm thinking holding off on releasing the chapter until I can finish writing the other two chapters to complete the arc we've reached.

So, I could release it a chapter a time like I've been doing or wait until I have all chapters for the arc finished before releasing them. What would you guys prefer?

FTL

The old 'six of one/half a dozen of the other' scenario.

Bit by bit episodes as they become available gives us irregular doses of horsewords to keep us entertained and the writer intermittent feedback and comments to keep motivated.

After all are completed gives a quick regular hit of bulk horsewords after an extended wait and thus the author has to wait for the feedback and comments after more hard work. It also means that issues and tweaks can be fixed before publishing if needed but also means 'outside' motivations (ie reader comments) are not as plentiful during said writing.

As the old adage goes, "Dealers Choice", O good Author.

this sounds like a grate plan to me.
