    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,

Chapter 7 update · 3:49am Apr 1st, 2022

Happy April Fools Day, every-pony. Good news! I have actually finished the first draft of Chapter 7! No, this isn't an April Fools Day prank, I actually have a draft done, and have been working to revise it. The current word count is 18,466 words and spans 36 pages. The initial draft actually exceeded 20,000 words and reached forty pages, but I've managed to pare some of that back a little.

I would like to publish my chapter this month. I don't know if I'll manage it, but I am at least headed towards the finished line. This has been the hardest chapter I've worked on since Chapter 1. Soon!

Sincerely,

Shade Nightingale.
