I'm currently enjoying myself immensely slash performing research by reading Side Jobs.

Just finished Backup. ( ) But I'll have a more detailed write-up later, like I did for Skin Games a bit back.

(Tagged spoilers inside that link for those of you not caught up with Skin Games but insisting on reading Dark Horse anyway.)

I'm still mostly focused on the new, more polished final-arc outline (21624 words) but I've also started a bit on the V2 of #8. (4372 words.)

Interestingly enough, it does seem like the story will be 12-14 chapters long right now. Something I've been hoping but not banking on.

The final, final outline is done. Took a long time, a lot of trials and tribulations, tons of feedback I'm extremely grateful for...

But think I'm going to be real proud of this one, when all is said and done.

Number of chapters left and current planned names, behind the cut. For those of you that prefer to be surprised.

As always, thanks for your patiance, and for reading.

So it has been... quite a while since I posted anything here. I have the month free, after college assignments and system upgrades, might as well post this, to let you guys know I'm still alive.

I know what you all want me to update (and in fact, that is why I'm tagging it), and I assure you I want to finish it. I haven't touched it in a few months now, so I need to review what I do already have and try to get that thing out ASAP.

Cross-posted from my front-page.

Next chapter #09 — ~10% Done — 0 Words.
(Outline done, but nothing written yet.)

For the obvious follow-up question, I'm hoping for an update on Dresden's birthday, (31'st) but I'm currently sick with a bad cold, and you guys know me and the accuracy of my ETAs by now.

Would be cool, though. Both in timing and the two updates in a month thing, but no outright promises right now.

Good news! The cover for Synchrony is finished!

How do you like it? It was made by Hap, who I know from Discord. Hurray for friendship!

So... woke up to this question in my Discord this morning:

So, I woke up from a dream where Dorky offered to write up a spoiler post since his pone fics are unlikely to be finished in the next decade. If I asked you this, how will you respond?

You know what? Seems a fair question with how slow things are going, so thought I'd outline my current plans for my writing, and for my stories.

Good news: A turn for the worse made me realize that the over-the-counter stuff wasn't actually working made me go see a real doctor a few days ago. He basically listened for two minutes, knocked lightly on my head and cheek, and said: 'Yup, that's a bad sinus infection, alright.'

Pro: Writing is going well, if slow.

Con: Chapter will probably not be completely done and proof-read until January, something.

11490 words, 32 pages, ~85-90% done.

Ah, I really should have made more use of these this month... oh well...

Anyway, Sunset in Ponyville is officially live! Well, the first chapter anyway - expect the second chapter a week from today, and then probably a chapter of Synchrony a week after that? After that... well, who knows. I'm gonna try and rework my schedule a bit in the New Year, so it's hard to say. I do know that I'd like to edit Oathmaker a little bit at least just to polish it up a bit.

Hello my lovely and loyal followers.

Just a heads up that Chapter 4 is nearing completion and is currently being looked over by my amazing editor.

Hang tight and I should have it by the end of next week at the latest!

Great news! Not only did Sunset reach 100 likes, but I also finished writing chapter 13 of Synchrony today!

And, of course, I got started on the seventh chapter of Sunset.

898 words to finish one chapter, plus 452 words to start another, equals a pretty hefty 1,350 words total for the day! Bringing my overall total for the month to 4,582. Not too shabby!

Uggh, writing felt like a slog today... barely managed to get to 1,016 words. I am seriously going to try and end this chapter tomorrow, I think it going on for so long is one of the big reasons I've been having some trouble with it.

Cumulative word count is now 25,219!

Yes, I know I said I would be focusing on my novel for the next few months, but I just happen to have a few stories on deck for just such an absence occasion - stuff that's written but has yet to be released! Soooo...how about I dip into that, then.

Look out for a little something later today!

Hey all! Just wanted to announce that I have officially begun work on the tenth chapter of Sunset in Ponyville. 1,035 words written, many more to go! It's gonna be... an interesting chapter, I think.

After a bit of a slow start this afternoon, I managed to really break in to the flow and feel of the chapter and have ended the day with 1,126 words written, putting this chapter of Sunset at a current total of 1,560.

Part of the reason for such a slow start is because the sort of drama that this chapter is gonna be is... not really my usual fare, I don't think? So it takes a while for my mind to get into the right mindset to wanna write it, if that makes sense.

Working on the next chapter. Hopefully I should have it up by the end of the month. I'll do what i can to make sure it is. The same goes for Days of Nightmare Moon. If there is no update well... I'll be updating next month then.

8 Weeks into high school.
2 Separate tech competitions taking place within a month of each other.
Stack of homework sitting beside me, check.
Half-crap computer that's literally falling to pieces, check.
Dusty college textbooks from my mom, check.
One annoyingly unwanted piano test, check.
Droopy, tired eyes, check.

HOW HAVE I LASTED SO LONG WITHOUT WRITING EVERY DAY?!

Not much to say today - got 1,145 words done for Sunset, and I'm getting the feeling that this is likely going to be a short chapter. Probably the shortest in the story so far.

Then again, my predictions don't always pan out. So we'll see.

Current word total for the month is 5,727.

One thousand, three hundred, and twenty-five words written today.

Yeah, I'd say today exceeded expectations a fair bit. I finally found something of a groove for the Pie sisters and my writing of them, and it showed. How will people like the chapter? Can't say, to be honest. But for now, I'm satisfied.

Especially because I have officially met my goal for the month of 29k, and even my last-minute stretch goal of 30k!
