Nearly 3 years on Fimfiction, 3 stories, many waiting ponies, and not a single blog entry. Unfortunately, I have to start my first blog entry with an apology.

075 Status update: What I've Been Doing Lately
Hello everyone! It's been quite some time since I posted a blog here. I'm fine, thank you, I'm still writing things, though just as I mentioned throughout numerous comments, blogs, a few PMs even, since January I have had less time for mashing the keyboard due to a full time job I'm currently enjoying. But I managed to write something, so that's a good thing, right?

Huh, what's that? A blog post tagged with that one story you read a year and a half ago? What could it be?
"If it exists, there's pony of it." Most, if not all of you, have heard this expression before.
Hello everyone, or everyone still around. I know I've spoken up in blog posts a few times recently, but I felt like making up a proper status update for where I am writing-wise.
Most of you guys probably know by now that I was embroiled in another controversy recently. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire site knows about it.
I should really stop trying to understand how people behave toward me on the Internet.

After five faithful years of service, it seems my laptop has finally entered the last stages of its life. Got the infamous "click of death" last night.
I've already picked out a new one, but it'll be about two weeks before I get it, so I'm afraid my latest fic will be delayed for a while. Sorry about that. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait.
RIP Shamrock95's laptop

So, uh. Heck of a week we've had lately, huh?
Heck of a year we've had lately. Oof.
I'd been meaning to check in on this blog earlier, buuuut I didn't want to bore any of y'all on Veteran's Day. And then yesterday was Friday the 13th, and I didn't quite want to make it a horror themed blog post. That, and between the too-many streaming services I've got, only Friday the 13th Part VI was free for streaming. Go figure.
Status update (7-8-2018_1)~~~
Pony-Me/Outtakes:
Outtakes has a chapter ready to be published, but will be held back until Pony-Me's chapter is complete.
I don’t know what kind of pendulum I'm on, because I swear that lately I've been swinging from crazy productive to apathetic as everything.
That said... regarding the corrected warning I made in my last blog post, I'd like to announce that I already have the title for my adaptation of Issue 26 of the Friends Forever IDW comics.
It's titled Revamped Tale: A Visit to the Highest Kingdom.
Hey,
Just popping in to say that I am currently sitting at almost 2500 words for Chapter 1 thus far.
Ideally I would like it to be longer than the prologue while fleshing out the setting a little better. I still have a lot more plot established for Chapter 1 that needs to be met before it is posted for my pre-readers.
That said, I do have a little something for you.
The next chapter of M.L.G. will probably be delayed a little bit. There's a scene I have written that's begging to have artwork done of it, and since my skills in that area are lacking... yeah.
Just thought I'd let you know. >^_^<
That pretty much summarizes my mental state of the past few days. Constantly tired (half due to not getting enough sleep and half due to my walking regimen), and I can't really think of things I want to write for the story. You know you're having trouble finding things to talk about when your brain fishes for tuna, but ends up with guppies instead.
Still here.
Things are just slow, however. (I wish they weren't!). I should be able to start writing some more come next week, though. I apologize for the delay (of a month? quick edit: two months yikes).
I did get some new cover art! I'll leave it up to you guys if you prefer the new or old and I'll see how that goes.
I've had a few of my readers tell me in the comments of M.L.G.'s "Trifecta - Part Three" that Gray's backstory wasn't something they saw coming. That actually surprises me. I mean, my opinion of the subject matches Levi's: the whole thing strikes me as somewhat cliche. Was it really that out-of-nowhere for y'all?
This time it's only taken me eight months. Four, actually, since I was busy writing "The tale of the Spy" back in spring. After that I experienced happiness... Then in subsequent months I absolutely lost my marbles over my good-for-nothing colleagues !.. I guess, I also watched MLP... Boy did that stabilise my mental state !.. This time I pushed past season 4 and revisited seasons 5 and 6...
I'm going to try to get the next actual chapter of M.L.G. up tonight, but I'm likely not going to be on to answer any comments for the next few days.
