Yeah, I've distilled my writing strategy into a concentrated essence.

Wait a few weeks without writing more than a thousand words or two, and then, at a randomly chosen time, write seven thousand words in a single day.

Well, that's my new record, so obviously not that exactly many; but that's definitely how I do things.

Also, yeah, I just put seven thousand words into the next chapter, but it's not done yet.

NOT FOR THE STEREOTYPICAL NECROMANCER! DON'T FREAK OUT! LOOK AT THE TAGGED STORY!

Alright, now that I've preempted any possible jumps to conclusions, I can talk about Of Time Before The Stars.

Mmmmm that submit button is riiiight next to the edit button.

I'm sorry.

So, in-between writing my vaunted claim to very small horse fame, that's a double entendre -I like to subject myself to a few rigorous writing exercises to keep myself sharp^ish. Extremely concerted note-taking, writing short stories that I don't publish, and constantly rewriting the same three thousand words over and over again!

It's been three whole years since I started writing! Woohoo! All that time wasted thinking about ponies!

Happy happy birthday! Happy happy birthday! Happy birthday to The Stereotypical Necromancer!

One year come and gone since my bipolar disorder ordered me at gunpoint to write or else. One year since I threw a dart at my interests and hit Necromancy. One year since I spent five minutes thinking up a name, to come up with the inspiring, appropriately-ironic name of Light Flow.

It's come. The time has come.

For another delay!

mmmyeah next chapter's not done, and it's not likely to get done by tomorrow. It's got, like, 3k words so far, and that's unedited.

Hey guys/gals/other, I've got a quick question for anyone awake enough to answer.

Would you prefer a ~4k word chapter posted literally right now, or a ~7k word chapter posted in... around two to three days? When I posted the last chapter, I had the chapter I'm sitting on now finished at 4k words, but then I decided to expand on it by tacking on the next little bit of the story.

Honesty- as a certain somepony might say- is the best policy, so I thought it'd be best to be transparent about my progress so far.

It hasn't been great.

I'm about five thousand words deep into it, and I haven't even really scratched the surface of what I want to do with the chapter. I've been thinking and literally dreaming about the events of this chapter for months now, and I'm finding that actually living up to my imagination is a little constraining.

You know, I was going to be all dramatic about this blog post. I was going to come in with teary eyes, shooting heartfelt apologies left and right at all parties; all the while delivering firm assurances that my lapse in judgement would never occur again^tm.

I really don't have anything profound to say; I just wanted to throw an update out there. For a while, progress was going really great- until it suddenly wasn't. I don't know if the specific section of the chapter is throwing me off or if I'm just going through another drought, but I'm consistently finding myself staring, dumbstruck, at a page that's empty from the waist down. Like... a pent-up teenager.

As always, I'm feeling a bit badly for leaving people in the lurch for longer than a week- or a month- so I thought I'd check in and let everyone know I'm not dead.

Well, there are a million different ways i'm doing that, but the fact that I haven't read any fanfiction since I started writing my own is kind of especially egregious.

So I'm gonna do that. Read. I'm gonna go read some stuff, hopefully good stuff; thereby increasing my ability to write and hopefully helping to correct some of my issues.

aaaaa I burnt myself out!

I've been writing thousands of words every night for days now, and it looks like the rush of creativity has come to an unfortunate end. The next chapter is just about done- eight thousand words, not to brag- but it's gonna take a few days to get out; for real this time.

Hey, it's me! That guy who some people see write on occasion!

Okay, that's enough pleasantries; now Happy Halloween! Unless you don't celebrate Halloween, in which case: .

But you know who does celebrate Halloween? Not ponies! They celebrate Nightmare Night!

Hey hey, you're hearing from me again! It's almost like I'm a regular author who publishes regularly and shares about normal things!

Anyway, the next chapter: it's coming along. I'd say it's somewhere just under halfway complete, but there's a bit of a problem.

It's got scenery. I mean heavy scenery. Most of the chapter is going to be looking at scenery.

I. Suck. At. Writing. Scenery.

Woohoo! Let's give it up for two years of waiting for Necromancy!

Hiya! How's tricks? Are you doing well?

Sorry I've not been around or writing much for, like, a month. I put out a side story a 'lil while ago, but it's honestly not my best work. You can go read it if you haven't, but I can do better—and I should've done better. It's just that writing has been... a tenuous activity for me for awhile now.

Hey all, just wanted to put the good word out there. I managed to tough it out through uneasy decisions across nine thousand words, and the next chapter is mostly done and dusted.

Well, for this story, it's actually a little unprecedented.

Yeah, I'm having a bit of trouble writing the next chapter, so I thought I may as well give a little heads up to the approx. 20 people that read this story. It's nothing too big: just some problems with perspective and proper emotion; I should be able to tough it out soonish.
