Eh, close enough.

Well, everyone, I've finally gotten the next chapter of To Love a Pony sketched out. A few days away to visit family up in northern-ish Minnesota backwoods (you don't know how much I've missed decent water pressure!) gave me plenty of time to grind away at the stone. Chapter 11 clocks in right around, oh... 18.8k-ish words. So now all I need to do is...

Revise the entire fucking thing?!

A while back...

Yes, that's right, I've gone and joined the Dark Side.

No, it's not like you may be thinking. I simply submitted Insecurities to them. And after a bunch of work, it got accepted! Yay!

Amazing how Putricide's lines work so well for my blog posts.

So, unfortunately I'm not going to finish in time for Bronycon. The first nearly-half of the chapter is edited, but that still leaves me with 40 pages-worth to go, and I've got only about 13 hours before I plan to be in Baltimore. It's coming (and M1nty keeps poking me) (Thanks for being cool like that, by the way!), just not as fast as I'd like.

Which, I'll admit, is my fault.

I know so many of you have been waiting for something - anything - from me, and this likely wasn't it. Buuuuuut, I am at Bronycon, so if you're here, you can yell at me in person. Yes, I'll happily welcome that.

What I've been doing? I'll reserve that for after LineCon.

As ever, I'll probably be at Quills and Sofas a bunch, with occasional dips for Pokemon, or something.

Hah! I did it before you, Biscuit! (I think) A "Not Another Blog" blog! Nyah!

So, yes, I went to Bronycon. I probably should have posted something beforehand so if anyone who I didn't already know was going to be there, they would know to look for me should they have wanted to say hello. *doublechecks the preceding English* Eh, good enough.

So I mentioned a thing. I don't know if anyone really noticed because it was the most minor of a mention and surrounded by things that were more thing-y.

Well, it's blossomed into a full blown thing-tree...

I need to get off the thing-trip, because I was suddenly reminded how squicky things get with a Thing around. And I'm getting side-tracked.

I bet you all are wondering a great many things - I am too! - though the foremost is likely what happened to all the cheese. I'll get to that. In the more immediate term, I have indeed moved. Solo apartment life was going to soon become untenable and thankfully I have some good friends who helpfully reminded me in passing that I had an open invitation to stay with them. So I did the only sensible thing and announced that I was going to be taking them up on that.

No, seriously. It isn't.

I've been a bad author and a terrible person. I know y'all are impatiently waiting for TLaP to update, but something got into my head that I just had to do. It's clop. It's kinky. It involves horses and no humans.

So... Does anyone want to proofread it?

I understand if, as punishment for my failure as the author of the story you're here for, you don't.

A friend found something magical the other day! I now have a desk companion of my very own. (Wow, doesn't that sound dirty?)

Huzzah! Ah-erm... I mean Time to go on adventures! Off to the first one!

Maybe the first one will involve staying inside...

Megan is such a mixed bag. I mean, foremost is she has to be rescued from falling off cliffs/slopes what? Three times? Four? But then there's the awesome moment where she blindly flings herself out of danger with a giant sunflower (and, hilariously enough, into another cliff rescue).

Danny's just a dick.

Molly is baller as **** though. For a kid, y'know...

...and do you know where your author is?

No?

Well, that's completely my fault.

Ya big babies. It's like no one appreciates a quality sonic OC 'round here.

To the West Coast!

I don't normally do this kind of thing 'cause I'm, well, shy, introverted, quiet around people I don't know, withdrawn when in strange surroundings, etc., etc. Buuuuuuuut... Later this week I'm flying out to Portland, Oregon for an uncle's 80th. I'll be around for a few days, and even traveling up to Bend to visit the resting place of a relative from long, long ago.

It has been found! The picture from Quills and Sofas!

Yes, yes, I know I'm very late to the party, but in my honest defense, nobody ever tells me anything. Apparently horizon had it all along! /superfrownyface Well, thanks to an amazingly circuitous series of happenstances, I'm now in the know!

Which makes me so happy! Now I've got proof that I was in the immediate vicinity of G.M. Berrow!

Shut up, Aaron!

Here's a little doodle I've been working on for a bit now; an imagining of the Summer Sun Festival from the pictures Etherea showed Alex back in chapter 7, part 1.

Personally, I think it would be filled with the cries, threats, and lamentations of deprived readers.

Anyway!

I sat down to write this because I needed to check in, post some things, and make an announcement. I wanted to comment on To Love a Pony and how much I love the idea of a Christmas chapter. Deadlines are good for motivation, and last minute panic is still motivation. (But let's not let it come to that.)

I'm what the Japanese would call a "shinnichi": Someone who takes a deep interest in any aspect of Japan—geography, music, food, etc (If I am correct, it literally means "pro-Japanese").

In my case, mine would be the culture and language. Three days ago I decided to take a drive down the long road of learning to speak, read and write Japanese. Unsurprisingly, I'm still working on writing in Hiragana, the traditional Japanese writing form.

Aye, welcome to the next edition of "Soaring has Opinions".

Wait, should I really make this a series or just fuck off and say the opinion?

Ah, not important. I apologize. I'll just get right into the noose news.

So, drama on Fimfiction occurred. You're probably wondering if it was the drama from the blog before the joke one.
