Happy Canada Day! · 7:34pm Jul 1st, 2022
With some blegh news to report.
Oh, hello.
So yeah. Internet. Ponies. Etc. I find myself in a procrastinating kind of mood, which ... is why I'm goofing around on here. Funny how that works.
So I'm working through my newest piece, have been for quite awhile actually. It's on-the-fly, meaning I'm making it as I go, without editing.
Haven't done that since my greenhorn days. Its driving me nuts but at the same time, I don't want to have anyone peek at it just yet.
Preeeeetty sure it'll be a mess of a piece, long winded maybe and pretty much all over the place. At least that's how I feel. Still, it's coming along.
And it's driving me insane~!!! <3
Greetings Everyone in the wide, wide world of Equestria!
Someone asked that I give you guys a quick update on Child of the Tree! So...(drumroll please) THE STORY IS STILL ALIVE!!!
So, a couple of things to get out of the way here...
There's a new chapter out for Second Contact, and you can check it out here.
I'm going to be playing it. If you see me, try not to die
I wish I could say there was a good explanation for my absence. I wish I could report to you that I've managed to finish a bunch of projects and chapters while I was silent. I wish I could, but I can't.
Introduction
Ok, i'm going to be quite frank with you guys, i'm in a bit of a writing slump at the moment. Rewrites for HLW have hit a wall as i come upon ch5. As soon as i finish this and the next two, i'm going to start publishing, but i gotta get through this boring, but necessary text.
I don't know how you could be reading this if you didn't notice already, but Minoan Crisis is finally up. Gosh I've been working on this thing for months. Late November, I think is when I first started an outlining doc.
How does one stop thinking about another story you are writing and concentrate on the one you should be working on?
One part of my mind says "be responsible and update Light Pollution already," one says "I wonder if Impossibly is real and how she's related to Diamond," and yet another says "Svengallop and Gladmane strike back against recording devices." Such internal conflict here...oh well.
On the subject of Flim and Flam...they might make an appearance in If You Give a Little Love soon as Babs' "eccentric uncles".
There's a small issue I've had for the longest time that I'm hoping any of you fine folks can help me with.
Ho, boy, was this a long time coming.
I'd apologize for the wait, but the few of you that stuck around are probably sick of my endless winging about how I most definitely will get back to work and hopefully post something in the near future, but the truth is, it has been a bit difficult for me on that front.
Apparently the answer to that first question is me, given that the first two reviews in this set were from a Read It Now set that I let sit for so long it ended up Read It Later. But I felt like reading some stories yesterday evening to round out a set.
Let’s get cracking.
Today’s stories:
Who Has Time for Laziness? by Minds Eye
The Dusty Trail by Unicorncob
A Good Trot, Spoiled by Estee
A “Warm” Distraction by Alchemicgree
Whenever an author updates a linear story with a chapter placed earlier than what was the latest chapter before it makes my mind lose grasp of where the heck the story was going.
Not super feeling it right now, guys. Got a meeting this late afternoon/evening and another tomorrow morning, involving co-workers, a performance review and a meeting about our current product. (The performance review should, honestly, be fine, but that's not going to stop me from worrying.)
I could have typed stuff during the con, but, well - it was a wonderful convention and i want to gush about it later.
guess what show i just started watching!!!!!!!
oh my gosh this show is so stupidly great i'm addicted
i think 12 year old me would be completely obsessed
"Thank you!" Spike held the flowers close. "Seriously, thank you! Now I just gotta get these to Roseluck!" He waved as he darted away. "Thanks again!"
Rumble nudged Thunderlane as Spike ran off. "Think we should tell him he looks like he got into a fight with a rainbow pixie and lost?"
Thunderlane shook his head. "Just let him have this one, little bro. Just let him have this one."
