BAH, this next one is hard to do. I've spent at least 3 hours staring at this screen, but there's so much riding on this chapter that I can't seem to write anything without some inconsistencies. That said, i'm about 1000 words into it and I SHOULD be able to keep the daily posts going if I can finish it by tomorrow night (no that's not cheating <.<).

So yeah, things are going absolutely spectacularly for my writing life right now. In order, here's what happened over the weekend:

1. Memoirs of a Magic Earth Pony officially breached the 100,000 word barrier, which makes me so excited I think I might explode. That's over a year's worth of continual work and I'm damn proud I've gotten this far. Here's to 300,000 more! or however many it takes to detail Starswirl's life.

So yeah, I just finished the next chapter, clocking in at 2,600 words and I've got to say, that was epic. Not the content as much as the experience writing it. I was flying, typing at full tilt and just writing everything that came to me. This is one of the reasons why I keep writing. There's no reason why I should get this damn excited about writing, but holy crap you really can't get me much more excited than I just was.

I think I need to take a break O.o I'm exhausted.

Alright, I'm going to wait until Friday to post so I can go through the chapter, but I sat my ass down and wrote until I got this one done. I'm really sorry about not having these updates as regularly, but life has been rather... obtrusive over the past few weeks. Thanks to most of you for not forming lynch mobs and storming my college!

Final's week has been hitting pretty hard, and I was planning on writing today, but we had some pretty severe storms and a tornado that just missed us, so I was focused on that.

Just posting this to let you know that I'm going to be delayed if i can release this week.

So, I didn't get the chapter updated this past Friday. I'm sorry, I wanted to, but I was caught up doing something else.

What might that something else be? Well, considering I'm decent at making videos, I'm currently making the update videos for Ambient.Prologue. And by making, I mean I'm compiling the motion graphics as well as writing and voicing the script. It's a lot of fun, but it's a lot of work too. So, I focused on the video this week instead of Memoirs of a Magic Earth Pony.

So I've been writing today, around 2000 words to be precise, and the next chapter of MoaEP is finished! However, that came at the cost of my security and a healthy dose of fear. Basically, without any spoilers, Starswirl was in the lab alone and I was making it kinda creepy because, you know, creepy is fun, right? Anyway, as I'm sitting here, visualizing this scene, one of my Skype groups opens and posts this video which automatically opens to this image.

Today marks the first year anniversary of Memoirs of a Magic Earth Pony, but that wasn't where it began.

It's funny to think how long ago I started considering the idea that Starswirl the Bearded was an earth pony, and since today's a special day, I figured it would be a good idea to talk about it's creation.

I think I'm delirious. I've got enough infinitesimal proofs and research in my active memory that I think I could give a lecture on why they are the greatest thing ever. Like, this is ridiculous guys, I'm not supposed to be learning math to write fanfiction, that's crazy. Well, I guess I'm crazy too.

Alright, can't talk long but I've got a quick update for you.

So, as most of you know, Memoirs of a Magic Earth Pony was updated last week with a chapter called 'conclusions'. The story isn't finished, but the first volume is. There are a lot of questions that are unanswered, but that's 70 thousand words of Starswirl's angsty teen years.

Well, as some of you know, I've been rather annoying with my updates for memoirs of a magic earth pony. Where I was once creating chapters and releasing them regularly every Friday at 3, I've been posting them late and even missing one week completely. I apologize for that, and in return, I'd like to give you guys some exciting news.

Read More

I know a lot of you like my regularity, and I'm sorry I didn't get a chapter out to you yesterday. With finals week breathing down my neck and traveling back to my home for winter break, I had little time to spare. All the time that I did have to spare went to the super secret project. Things just got turned up to 11 and I'm trying to do my best. I hope you guys understand.

Well... It's December and I did not complete my 50K word goal. The story outline had been outpaced and I couldn't, in good faith, keep writing without some semblance of a guide.

Alright, I've spent hundreds of hours building this story, and I've wanted it to hit the featured box since I released it. It finally did today!

I got 3 favorites in the course of 20 minutes so I checked the front page. When I saw memoirs in the featured box it took a moment for me to realize what this meant. It's gaining ground!

Thanks to everyone who is following this story. I've put a lot of dedication into it and I'm super excited to know that you guys are enjoying it!

I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year!

Why is that a surprise? Because the story I'll be working on is Memoirs of a Magic Earth Pony! I'll effectively be doubling the word count in a month if I can do it. That means Memoirs may have a new update schedule come December.

Well, I have already written the next chapter and it's just got an editing pass to endure before I release it next Friday. I think you guys may like the next few chapters, I'm exploring some... different themes than usual. spooky sounds.

Responding to fimfiction blogs is moderately annoying on phone, and spamming them makes for angry people. So, if you're interested in following my progress through my stories, follow @TheLunarSamurai on Twitter.

Also, I've got the next two fridays lined up for chapter releases. Hope you guys are as excited as I am!

Alright, guys, here's a quick update for the progress I've made over the summer.

My internship was a blast. The guys were super helpful and I learned a lot!

Project Ascension is trucking along and since most of the UI work is mostly done, I'm no longer as needed as I was before. (for those of you who don't know what Project Ascension is, click here)

I really dropped off of the face of the earth, didn't I.

Well, I've been busy... Really busy. Between Project Ascension, my internship, my health, and my social life, I've not had much time to write at all.
