Been sick as shit so I haven't made much headway in the story before this morning, so please be patient and work with me for awhile longer. This week just hasn't been super.

In any case, be sure to keep breathing, drink water, and eat food.

Stay Cool, Kids.

Yes, me, I know what time it is, and we're nearing the point where I can focus-in on tying the rewrites into the shit I originally started touching up. Good times.

As you can tell, I'm not pumping out chapters at my usual pace, but they are still coming. They're just slower. Work and a social life leave me with less than adequate time to get more than a thousand or so words a day, and I've had quite the bout of writer's block. Fuck dat bullshit tho and listen to this. I found it very fitting for a good bit of Max's life so far.

Okay, so I posted three chapters and didn't realize it. I'm doing Re: 13 now and am getting deeper into Max's interactions with Velvet Breeze, which is... It's getting fun. It's basically the whole reason behind the rewrites; To revisit the story chapter by chapter and have more fun with every one of them. I've read through A Thief's Tale maybe... 6 times now? This being the seventh. Every time I read through it, I couldn't help but notice more and more that I wanted to change and now that I'm

I'm not sure why everything in Chapter 17 is underlined, and I really don't feel like re-editing the whole thing just to post it again and have the same problem.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hopefully the underlining isn't too terrible for most of you, but I just don't have it in me to spend another hour and a half editing my first draft, so es lo que es. I'll try to keep the same thing from happening in Chapter 18 which I am now 7.4k words into.

And neither is A Thief's Tale. Writing at the speed of life right now, which is uh... Not goin' too quick. It's been a while. Sup, nerds?

Yeah, I'm not dead. Struggling with life, but alive and doing alright. Love taking screenshots of the old comments to brighten up these dreary days.

So the story is already quite morally sketchy. A lot of the things Max does could be considered bad or even evil, but in the chapter I'm currently writing, I recognize that things get more than sketchy. It's a debate on whether or not people have certain rights, and whether or not you agree is completely up to you and how you view good and evil. I'm personally on the fence about the matter, but I feel like Max, as a character and a fictional man has grown and evolved in such a way to make such

Since Chapter 26 is already done and I don't really want to move on yet, I'm going to do a minor rewrite of my first few chapters. Basically, I'm going to beef them up a bit and make them suck less so more people actually want to continue reading, though I'm pretty much leaving the story as it is. IT's really just adding details and fixing spelling, formatting, and a few other things. Chapter 26 is going to be released some time later today, most likely around 7:30 EST, so keep an eye out for

Instead of Sunday night at midnight, A Thief's Tale will be coming out on Saturday night, same time, same place. I just don't like having to spend my last night off of my weekend editing, so we'll see how this shit rolls for awhile, yeah?

As it is, I've already got an editor and I read through my own shit after they do their thing, but things are still slipping through the cracks and it's killing me on the inside when I read through a chapter and 'find' missing words, fucked up capitalization, or odd spacing/punctuation. If you're a bit of a Grammar Nazi or just paid/pay decent attention in school, feel free to PM me or comment on this shit.

Chapter 25 isn't going over too well. Maybe it's just too damn long. I prefer to read long chapters, but I realize that not everyone feels the same way. I'll try paring them down to 30k instead of shooting for 50k, but I like writing so I do it a lot. Sometimes it just so happens to take me on a longer journey than expected

I also realized that the inspiration for all of my longer chapters hasn't even written one above 30k yet, so fuck me

So I've completed rewriting a good portion of the first 40 chapters of A Thief's Tale, and a lot's changed. Most of the beginning chapters are twice as long as they were previously and I nae-nae'd them bitches like you wouldn't believe. That being said; should I replace the existing text, or should I post the alt-start as a new story? Max is the same guy for the most part, but the early Mane 6 are damn near completely different. The dialogue is also a damn sight better imo, but I'd like to

25 is going to be a slogfest, fellas. At 40,000 words, the place I want to end the chapter is probably much further ahead. I wish you the best of luck when reading it, and hope to get it out soon.

So uh... I was thinking about the rewrites and was all like, 'Yo, when tf does Lupa fuck off for that quest?' and then I was like, 'Yo, wasn't that like, Chapter 26?', but then I was totally all, 'Shit, that's 27 and I just posted that.'.

So I found the original First Chapter of A Thief's Tale, and it is now in my Gdocs where I'll never lose it again. I actually found it in my Gdocs, but it was under a fucked up title or something, so I never paid attention to it.

So we hit three milestones here recently: We're halfway to a million words, the story now has twenty thousand total views, and it's within the top 150 longest stories on the site. I like all of these things. Share my hype.

I don't know if I'm going to do a milestone or anything for the event, but I do know that I'm hype for it. I thought the story would be closer to ending by now, but shit just doesn't seem to be slowing down all that much as I write. Maybe it'll close sometime in the Seventies, but for now, it's not looking like it's ending before we hit another 500k words. It'll be nice to have A Thief's Tale done, but I don't know. I've enjoyed the journey to get to this point so much, I might just

First things first: Fucking finally. I've been waiting for this moment for too fucking long.

On another note, my work schedule is fucking weird. I'm on a 12 hour swing-shift that means I work two days, have two days off, work three days, off two days, work two days, then off three days. Get it? I don't, but that's not important.

There are spoilers in that shit. If you haven't read Lupa's Quest, I suggest you do so now rather than later. Chapter Thirty-Four should be up within three to four days of this post, and Lup's quest in its entirety is shorter than most of my chapters, so make of that what you will.

In other news, exercise is hard. Muhshithurt.

As Always, Don't Fuck Wolves

Stay Cool, Kids

It only took me an hour and forty-five minutes to dig through the archives and get my number, but I managed to get everything out of gdocs and loaded up. As of Chapter Seventy-Two, A Thief's Tale is 3,784(ish) pages long. I made sure to get all of the longer chapters, but there may have been some that slipped through the cracks, so there's a 20ish page deviation there.

Not exactly a big deal
