Hey folks. Do you know what happens next week?

After months of work, I get to close the draft for Starforge. Because today? Today I was working on the epilogue. That’s right. The last chapter is over and done. The final battle, from start to finish (and I count start as the moment it engages, not the prelude) weighed in at 68,000 words. The draft right now is sitting at about 493,000 words.

Am I holding back chapters to build tension after an unexpected event in the latest chapter?

Am I running out of ideas?

Did I get too distracted talking about upgrading the RAM in an iPod Classic tonight to do anywork?

All three at once?

The world may never know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What's up everyone? So I was right, I started a sixth draft of chapter 3, and I'm here to announce that I have finally finished! Now it's going through the editing and spell checking process. I can't tell you how glad I am to finally have it over and done with. Well, I guess I could, but I'll keep it simple. Chapter 3 stumped me for a while because it felt it was extremely important to character development, and I didn't want to mess it up with clumsy dialogue or unnecessary action, as some

so, some of you may have noticed by now that i have a problem with finishing stories i write. this is because i am mentally ill, stupid, and can’t focus on one project at a time to save the life of me.

this leads to the problem of me writing a ton of stories and never finishing them. so, i have removed all but:

So, Funny Story(because it’s huge and people like it even despite it probably never being finished)
Before the Night(because it’s finished)

I've got some good news and some bad news.

The bad news is that I won't have Chapter 1 of TPwPwF ready this week which is what I was hoping for.

The good news is that I have most of the chapter finished, and I just have a couple of scenes I need to polish up so if things go according to plan I should have it submitted before the end of this month.

So once again I thank all of you for your patience.

1. I have a new face. I like this face. I will keep this face.

2. Sweetie Belle is best crusader. (in my opinion)

3. If every pork chop were perfect. . . .

4. I have submitted my story (again) so in best case scenario expect it early Halloween!

5. THIS IS SPARTA!

6. Anyone have any suggestions for tomorrows Halloween playlist?

7. I might fluffle puff later.

8. I am just about done with Miles Edgeworth Investigations. Expect one last post on that tomorrow.

Well, the new episode and "Friendship Games" are upon us. And because of it, I bring you great news!

First, I will begin development on Sunset Shimmer's Steamy story soon. I've had the idea for it floating around in my head for a while, and I think the time is right to start getting it written. I'll finish it as soon as possible.

Don't really have much of an excuse other than just being really good at procrastinating. You know how it goes. Say you'll write in a couple hours, keep rinsing and repeating, and eventually months have gone by...

Consider this an update on the shape of future reviews.

My audiobook reading list had about 33 videos on it this morning.

It now has 286.

It's all thanks to VisualPony. And I didn't even add everything he's done. (There were a couple incompletes, some sequels, and one or two I just didn't want to read.)

So yeah. There's that.

Howdy howdy.

So I've been keeping everyone updated through my normal blog, but I just felt that I should make a post specifically about this story right now while I have the chance. The Poisoned Barb's Tale hasn't been updating as frequently as the first story did. Its first story, for reference, updated once a week every week for about four months. The sequel states at the very top of its description that it would updated in the same manner... but it hasn't, obviously.

Whats up everypony?

Just thought I'd give ya'll a little bit of an update on the status for some current and future stories. But before I get into that, I just want to give ya'll a big thank you for how my latest series has taken off. I'm really thankful to have such an amazing group of people who choose to read my stories, offer their comments, even provide some feedback and suggestions when I need them. So for that, I say thank you!

That's right everypony, this story has finally received an update. This new chapter took awhile for me to write, but it's a good chapter. So watch as Amber Light continues her adventure on this particular dark night. I hope you all enjoy.

So Marc is now in a colonscopy. His blood volume dropped again last night but hopefully they can fix everything easy. I called my new job and they are gonna have me restart orientation and take me off the schedule for next week so none of this is counting against me.

Thank the heavens for small favors.

Hey folks!

I'm actually using my Twitter account now.

Get at me. Also, Mending Hearts Chapter 8 is now live. Get at that too!

Just thought I would drop in and say that updates are going to be slower because of college. Also, the next chapter of The Sacred Elements is, so go read it. Or don't, see what that means to me.

Holy frig. This chapter is way longer than I expected it to be. Why is this chapter so hard to write. Why do I have to resolve so many plot points while setting up even more new ones. How many plot points do I have. How much do I have left to write. Why did I write this fic. Why are all the things happening.

Should I just go "f*** it all" and split this chapter in half and post the first half?

Ugh.

I figured I could risk one last blog for the month of April, dominated by my Nyx and the Sunset Blogs. Well today is something different. For my one hundredth blog I'm going to share how I work. Why my stories are written the way they are, and what I'm doing presently.

Hey DaD Readers,

I know I've said that I've been waiting for something to be finished before I published the next few chapters of DaD, but that 'something' has been delayed once again, so I'm publishing the first of the three chapters I have ready.
