Finding Friendship Artwork: Spike and Selene. · 7:24am Feb 15th, 2020
I had some artwork commissioned for a couple of characters.
Spike and Selene, to be specific.
Artwork done by Drako on Twitter. She's great. Commission her if you get the chance.

Finding Friendship is being reduced down to One Chapter a Month for the time being.
If only because I've been having trouble with sitting down and writing as of late. You can call it burn-out, you can call it laziness, I really don't care I just need a bit more time to get a backlog going again.
So Chapter 21, as expected, is the last Finding Friendship Update for the decade. The story won't continue until the year 2020.
But at this point, I've burned through my backlog. So please forgive me if there's a bit of a hiccup in the current update schedule.
A fair warning for all of you reading this:
These answers were written in the context of you all knowing everything about the story up to Chapter 19. If you have yet to read that far, I would strongly suggest catching up before continuing on with this blog.
You can catch up here.
With that said, I hope you enjoy~
So because of reasons, November is actually going to have three chapters uploaded instead of the now-standard two.
The reason for this being that I'm re-writing a few chapters and adding a new Chapter 18 (the old Chapter 18 is now Chapter 19).
But because of this, there is a possibility of there being a delay in Chapters from this point forward. Worse Case Scenario: we go back to 1 chapter a month for a while.
Figured you guys deserved a fair warning.
This isn't me quitting or anything because the show is over, far from it. I just couldn't think of a better name for the blog.
So I've been writing ahead for Finding Friendship quite a bit. I'm currently working on Chapter 23, while the rest of you are still in Chapter 16. And I've gotten to the point where I've begun revealing more and more into Twilight's motive for why she has done the things she has done.
Because Chapter 18 will get to be released on the 1-year anniversary of the story being published.
And that's important.
Big brain high IQ thinking right there.
.
Look forward to it.
It's gonna be a big one.
Like, REALLY big.
Phenomenally big.
Stupidly big.
We got featured!
I never thought this day would come!
Secretly hoped it would? Yes.
But never expected!
I am honored.
The one-year anniversary of Finding Friendship is almost upon us!
And to Celebrate, I've put THIS together for all of you! (this is the link)
Somehow I managed to turn Chapter 10 into Chapters 10, 11, and 12.
Go me, I guess.
I seem to upload a Chapter of Finding Friendship either at the beginning of each month or towards the end of each month.
Entirely unintentionally.
Weird, huh?
I already said I was going to be doing some interlude chapters for Finding Friendship. But I finally set the exact number at five, all of which will be taking place within the first year of Twilight's life as an alicorn. For reasons.
The reason why I'm stopping at five?
It took longer than I would have liked, but the cover art is finally complete.
As for why it is the way it is: it literally only exists to show what Spike looks like in this universe. I'm not even joking, that is 100% the reason behind it.
And it shall be added to the story with the advent of the next chapter, and will be added to the story with the release of Chapter 4!
So today I'm here to talk about the concept of planned-out ideas for a story changing as the story is put to the page. My on-going story Finding Friendship will be used as an example, so you may want to read that if you haven't already. There aren't any spoilers here, so don't worry. This post was originally going to just be about that, but as I was writing it, I felt like I could use it to give some OK writing advice since I see so many people on this site asking about it.
Don't have the cover art yet, but screw it. Tomorrow, I'm going over chapter two to make sure that everything is fine, and then I'll be posting it.
The wait has been long enough.
First of all, I hope all of you wonderful people are having a Merry Christmas. Except you, Steve. You know what you did.
Anyway, just wanted to give a quick update on Finding Friendship, as it has been a WHILE since I posted anything.
So Chapter 4 is probably my favorite chapter I've written out so far.
It's probably the most depressing, for lack of a better term, so far for reasons I can't get into. But there's one joke near the beginning that I can't get over, and I'm super proud of it. So I'mma share it here with no context. It's technically a spoiler, so read at your own risk.
— Chapter 2 is complete.
— Chapter 3 needs to be proofread one more time.
— Starting on chapter 4 soon.
— Chapter 2 will be posted when the cover art I commissioned for this story is completed.
