It's all good! It's all great! · 9:24am Nov 29th, 2015

I just kicked writer's block's butt! I actually spent the entire day writing! And it was the best day I've had in months!

At the start of the day, I had about 800 words written. As of right now, I have finished the first draft of the rewrite of chapter 2!

And this isn't just a rehash of what originally happened in chapter 2. This version is way better! That's why I rewrote it! Stuff actually happens now!

Dark Horse #7 Status · 8:06pm Jul 9th, 2015

21315 words + 397 words. ~80-85% Done.

Yes, that is indeed a whopping three words more then last week. Gaze on the grand skills of the master, and despair! :pinkiecrazy:

Seriously though, I've been tweaking things quite a bit so still progress. Just not the type that shows in pure word count.

The 5383 words of chapter #8 on the other hand... :ajsmug:

You guys know me and deadlines, but think #7 should drop sometimes next week baring interruptions.

Chapter 1 is on its way. · 5:33am Mar 20th, 2015

Yep, check it out. I finished the first draft, and then I uploaded it to Fimfiction so I could take a screenshot of the chapter list and show it off.

That was three weeks? · 4:54pm May 4th, 2015

Goodness gracious, I can't believe it's really that time again. Remember almost six weeks ago (!!) when I said I didn't have a blogging schedule? Now I do. Once every three weeks. This coincidence has officially been promoted. Well, there will be a blog post whenever there isn't a new chapter, and sometimes I'll also post at seemingly random times. So, essentially, things will be the same as always.

#7 FINALLY live, and a really neat bonus! · 1:01am Aug 7th, 2015

Made by the amazing Tulip, who offered me a free picture as thanks for Dark Horse so far. :raritystarry:

Make sure to go over to his page as well if you have any nice words to say.

The chapter itself may be found here.

Dark Horse #7 Status · 8:51pm Jun 24th, 2015

I was asked by somebody I sadly can't remember right now why I don't do weekly updates on story status when I have that status box.

This is going to sound slightly rude, but writing Status blogs like this bores me, and I can't even quite make a form for it since I so often need to add why things have either stalled or jumped ahead. Normally in about half a dozen stories as well, and checking word counts over that many documents adds up in time.

Chapter One is done! · 6:03am Feb 4th, 2017

I am now officially finished writing the first chapter of my clopfic. Now I only need to go over it and make sure it doesn't look like it was written by a five year old.

It's a solid five thousand words, mostly setting the scene for our hapless protagonist. It starts out with the main character already having been in Equestria for a while, so there's a little bit of scene building that needs to be done.

Well, I managed to get 682 words written today at least. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm in the final stretch of the chapter, so there's a chance it'll get finished in the next couple days and I'll be able to start getting the tenth chapter of Sunset ready for publishing. As always, I'll keep you all updated.

Well, I only managed 599 words today. :twilightsmile: Managed to get through a couple of scenes, though. And all that's left of the chapter should be one more short scene, and then the closing diary entry. So that's good, at least. I'm just not sure when exactly I'll be able to write next. Maybe I'll find the time to get a little bit done the next two days...

Writing progress Nov. 20, 2018 · 8:13am Nov 20th, 2018

Worked some more on BTD: Equestria chapter 2. Y'all are gonna see how well a Blue Bloon encounter goes.

Wrote another chapter of "What If...", as requested by comments. I see the potential in that chapter to become a fully-fledged fic.

No work on Pony-Me or its related stories today.

Hey all! I managed to get started on the 12th chapter of Sunset today after all - got 900 words done, in fact! Not quite up to my preferred 1k a day, but I'm satisfied - I left off at a good place to resume tomorrow, and honestly just composing my thoughts and ideas for the chapter makes up the difference.

Another productive day working on Sunset! I wrote 1,288 words for the chapter, putting it at 2,188 total so far. The focus of today's writing, and indeed the chapter, was an... awaited meeting, let's say, and the conversation that naturally springs from it. It's been something I've been looking forward to, so I was happy to finally get to it.

That's all I'm going to say for now. I hope all of you have been doing well! :twilightsmile:

Hey all! Just wanted to let everyone know that, right on schedule, I've released another chapter of Synchrony! Make sure to check it out if you haven't already. :twilightsmile: Only two more chapters left in reserve - I'm gonna have to start working on the story again pretty soon!

It's coming. Soon. Very soon. I've finished writing the three new chapters of Time Goes On, given them my initial edit, and uploaded them to the site. Later today (it's past 1 AM as I write this) I'll go through the story as a whole and giving it another round of personal polish, both to get the new material in line with the old and to at least attempt to fix some of the flaws in my writing I've become more aware of recently. I don't know how much I'll succeed, but I'll do my

Jeez it's been awhile, hasn't it? January hasn't been the most... productive month for me in terms of writing, but now that I've finally gotten past the ninth chapter of Synchrony I think maybe things will look up for me? Hopefully, anyway. I've already got a chapter of Sunset in Ponyville ready to be looked over as well, so hopefully my next update won't take so long.

So. It's been, uh, nearly a week since I last posted. Sorry about that. But last Thursday I got my wisdom teeth removed (the procedure was... mostly smooth), and I just haven't really felt up to writing since then. Not because I was doped up on pain meds or anything, I've only been on ibuprofen (and an antibiotic) all this time. I just didn't really have the energy to write.

Headaches Aren't Fun · 6:15pm Sep 17th, 2019

While I normally find it difficult to sympathize with pre-redemption Sunset Shimmer as depicted in Gormless, I can at least understand why she was in a foul mood for a decent chunk of the latest chapter. I've been fighting a massive headache of my own all day, and taking extra-strength medicine on my lunch break hasn't done much to slow it down yet.

Writing is a perishable skill · 3:53pm Mar 6th, 2022

I don't remember if I've mentioned it in a blog previously, but I've been depressed this year. Like, actual depression, or at least I feel more certain that it's an actual thing than I have at any other point in my life. I've been more anxious and less happy most of the time since I graduated last year, moved to a new city all on my own, and then promptly got shut in alone for most of that time because of the several waves of covid variants that swept through the world. I've always been a
