Today, it's exactly two years ago that I finished the first chapter of "Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity", my first Cutie Mark Crusaders fanfiction, and that I sent it in to Equestria Daily for the Writer's Training Grounds for "Twilight Time".
And since then, I barely continued it, despite how much this story means to me.
This story has gone through some really crazy times.
Sweetsong slept through Marias Pass, and missed the giant obelisk. She also missed Horse Mountain . . .
Still, she can always come back later and see it in the day. There’s always a train to take her near where she wants to go.
A mare can’t stay in one place for too long . . . Chicago has plenty of opportunities, but the open rails are calling.

Big cities come with big opportunities for a wandering pegasus. Busking, tourism, taunting the Willis Tower. . . .
Thanks to AlwaysDressesInStyle for pre-reading!
Iowa, not necessarily a destination for a mare on the move, although if she’d ridden the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern, she could have stopped off in Britt, Iowa . . . home of the National Hobo Convention.
I was reading the first chapter of "Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity" again because of its anniversary and discovered that there are still a couple mistakes in it.
I went over them now, fixed them and improved the chapter a little. I figured it would be appropriate today, on the anniversary, to give it a little makeover.
The changes are nothing major; just a few replaced words, removed a comma that was too much and rearranged one or two sentences.
Here is an unusual blog entry by me. To get the obvious worries out of the way with a bulldozer, no, I'm not stopping to write. This blog entry is about the exact opposite, actually.
While this statistic probably doesn’t exist, I’d put money on the Lauritzen Gardens/Kenefick Park having more locomotive by weight than any other public park in the US. Sweetsong was right to guess you’d put them where traffic on the highway can see them; in fact, they’re on a hill overlooking I-80.
Is this the most efficient route west? No, it isn’t. Sweetsong will get there when she gets there; it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.

One more tunnel, this one short, and then an open expanse of saltwater! Is it the Pacific?
Sadly not, but it’s close to the Pacific. Sweetsong’s nearly reached the ocean.
Special thanks to AlwaysDressesInStyle for pre-reading!
Seattle! Home of the Space Needle and lots of coffee, not to mention the home of Boeing. A good place to tour for a bit, a good city for a pony to be in.
A lot of you are probably wondering how my plans look now after I didn't update for a few months. So I figured writing a little entry to file you in. To make it simple:
It’s fifteen miles from Rennie Island to the Pacific as the pegasus flies. Even for a pegasus who prefers hopping trains to flying, that’s not far. Sweetsong’s journey is nearly at an end.
Hello, dear readers of "Princess Flurry Heart, Destroyer of Worlds!"! As promised in this blog entry, I am here to give you a little more information about "Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity", the spiritual successor of
A lot of the Midwest is flat and boring, and anypony would expect the same of Iowa. Turns out Iowa’s got a few surprises to offer.

Centralia’s a good place to bathe, get some food, and then head west. The Pacific’s not that far anymore; it’s even within a few day’s flying distance if Sweetsong can’t find a train.
CUTIE MARKS HAPPENED!!!!!!!
Which is such a special occasion that it deserves all of my attention. So, for once, I had an actual reason for having to delay the continuation of "Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity" again.
What’s a mare to do while waiting for the airplane museum to do? She could trot over the road and try to get a ride on a commuter train, or she could go on a flying tour of Puget Sound . . .
