"Stallion of Tomorrow" Status Update · 7:27pm Feb 25th, 2021
Hey all. Just making a little post here to let you know how things are going and to address a few things.
Hey all. Just making a little post here to let you know how things are going and to address a few things.
I mean, that's why I'm writing up a blog post, no?
So yeah. The holidays approach with the sure inevitability of a festive-themed glacier. Or something. The good news is, I've gotten just about all the big stuff tended to. Gifts have been acquired and wrapped (for the most part), and plans for the holiday weekend are in place. Even got a booster shot yesterday, which, roughly 24 hours later, has me feeling a bit achey, but it's certainly better than the alternative.
So, yeah: I got hit with a sudden onslaught of work within the past few days. Same client as the one from October-November of last year. They wanted some more stuff done, and the company I work for was tasked with handling it. I had no time to work on M.L.G. today, and that's likely to continue on into next week. As such, the new Chapter Update Deadline is now March 23.
...the wind and the rain never came.
To call the place beautiful, no one would choke,
Though hard on the hooves, they'd exclaim.
But high in those hills, past the rocks and the rubble,
So high that the clouds were below,
Lived two redneck clans that were nothing but trouble.
As you listen, you'll see that it's so.
Now the clan to the West, that thought it was best,
Wore the name Hooffield like shoes.
IN WHICH I BESTOW A NAME
Does that subtitle makes sense to you? No? Well, have some decade-old Perfume.
LOL, I punned you. Anyway, onto the meat of the post...
I don't post blog entries terribly often here, because I'm more active on deviantArt in that regard.
Here's my Deviant page:

Yes, my avatar and profile image are the same as here; our late family cat Misty (14 years old, she was a strong and capable cat).
I don't post much in the way of visual art. Most of my submissions are based in writing; thoughts, feelings, reflection, speculation, and others.
Having thrown my circadian rhythms completely off (basically becoming nocturnal in the process), I've decided to spend my now open nights doing what any normal sane human might do: toiling away at the ol' keyboard, revising and writing new chapters and ideas (some of those ideas being projects I'm excited to share down the line!). In my endless pursuit of perfection I've caught (and rectified) a pretty glaring plot hole in a series of upcoming chapters, nothing that I would have missed (and
So... I took a long time making a decision on this point, because I was worried the result would be potentially confusing for readers... but I thought it over, and I think it is the lesser of two evils in the end.
Guess what? All I've needed has been a vacation! Yeah, it's taken a long time, just about three months, but, hey! I'm back to business, baby!
The sixth chapter for the genie story is being written.
Also I have got inspiration and launched a new story! Unfortunately, I must come up with a description... and I don't know yet where the plot goes to. Oh, I'll figure it out eventually !
I have as many, as 5 chapters thereof !
My apologies...
It has been 7 months since "The Spy" has last updated... It has been 7 months since March...
It's October, right? And... ten years ago!.. ponies first aired! Yay !
How is it going?..
Weird...
The new "Daring Do..." chapter must yet be figured out . "...The Spy"? Must continue!
The promise shall not be broken. The hiatus for "The tale of the Spy" is declared to be over.
"Daring Do..." awaits an update.
New stories' ideas keep coming. Help !..
"Manuskript" is being figured out. I think we're getting somewhere.
("Equestria girls" is amazing, by the way ! The music!.. The music!..)
Blog time!
Man I’ve been out of it lately. Made a few dents in the book outline, but nothing breakthrough level. Back still hurts…
Speaking of, I’m aiming most of the blame for my back at my crappy office chair I got at an office store. While better than the 70’s chair I had before its still awful and likely causing most of my back pain.
No, I am not dead yet. Progress on my fics here have been slow, but I am still working on them.
I'd like to apologise to anyone waiting for an update to my story or for me to start the MLP/Dragon Age crossover you may have seen SS&E mention I'm planning to write in his patron list. The reason I haven't been writing is that back in the middle of May I shattered my wrist in 2 places during a mountaineering accident. I had to wear a massive metal monstrosity of a contraption to keep it together while healing and basically lost all use of my left hand. It came off on Saturday and small
Began writing Pony-Me Part 3, revealing more info about Zoey's dad, who as mentioned in the currently-published chapter now runs the company. This chapter also sets up a new, continuous conflict that'll last until the end of the story, and will serve as an underlying base point to reveal even more lore surrounding past events.
Still waiting for prereader approval on the completed epilogue chapter.
Marked the draft numbers for the existing chapters.
Officially began diverging from the existing Pony-Me canon.
Early dream sequence added to hint towards future events.
Added an Easter Egg referencing a particularly memorable line I saw in a textbook on radio communications.
Changed the personality of the Heavy-Coated Man to be more of a memorable character for the sake of future appearances in the story.
Added an light accent to go with the guy.
Two bits of news for you all tonight. First, with Chapter 5 of Synchrony nearly complete and Chapter 4 already Applety-approved, you should expect an update to that story sometime this Saturday. Look forward to it!
Second, I've completed the first chapter of the third part of my Sunset Shipping contest entry. I decided to split the third part into two because there's a time skip of about a month in the middle of it, and it felt more appropriate to just have it as a second chapter.
So I'm rewriting chapter 6, it sucked. I'm also rewriting the entire story, I don't like it anymore. It shouldn't be that different the plot will be the same but the characters leave character a lot and it's kinda cheesy at times so I'm fixing it. I'll also be finishing the entire story before I post another chapter, I'll update the current chapters once done of course but other than that I'll be finishing the story entirely before posting a new chapter. Sorry for the wait, I got tired of
I'm currently in the process of getting a new PC, due to the fact that my current one crashes almost daily now. In the meantime, for the next two weeks, story updates may slow down a bit, editing stories will definitely slow down due to the fact that I'm back to my old laptop, and commissions, just like other stories, will see slower updates.
