This upcoming Wednesday, I'm going to be attending my niece's wedding. I will be unable to write for a week because of this, so apologies in advance.
I do hope to have chapter 14 done and published the night before I leave.
1. The Barony
2. Canterlot
3. Klugetown
4. Badlands
5. The Castle in the North
6. Crystal Empire
7. The Barony
Okay, up is the plan of where the story is going. Considering we've just arrived in Canterlot, it's a long way to go. The plan is to do at least ten chapters in each area (give or take, Klugetown will probably be four or five). This is going to turn into an adventure at some point, but what leads to it happening, I ain't spillin' the beans.
Been browsing through a couple of my unfinished stories.
Good lord, they are (in my humble opinion) bad. I think I've improved by leaps and bounds over the past six or seven years (My Little Chryssie was published in September 2013). I think my writing faltered back in 2017, when I was having a hard time to justify watching the show (the quality was lacking and had been going through a slow downward spiral) and had come to absolutely detest Starlight Glimmer.
It is a haunting blend of anger and sadness.
Enjoy.
Lyrics:
Reverend, reverend
Is this some conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
An image beneath me
Lost within our plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man cut in half in this world
Left in my miseryReverend, he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
Nothing new for him to see
Okay, you guys can stop panicking. I remembered to turn the oven off.
Chapter is being reworked and so far, I am very pleased with the results. It's going to take another day or two to fix the rest of the chapter, but the major issue I was having with it has been addressed, undressed, and told to put on something a bit more decent before going out AND IT IS NOT WEARING THAT PERFUME! GO WASH UP, YOUNG LADY!
Man, I had no idea making the main character the way he currently is would upset so many people. I can understand why and I can sympathize with those points of view. However, I wanted to start with a character that was already at rock bottom before beginning the process of pulling him up. I do believe the story's already lost a few readers because of how Jakob is, but that's okay. Any writer (especially amateur ones like meself) worth their salt should know they're not going to make every
The chapter is coming along. Haven't had much time the past couple of days to get past 1300 words. Should have plenty of time to work on it Saturday and possibly finish later in the evening. This will be a transition chapter ending with Jakob, June, Fizzlepop, and Cadence (Cadance?) en route to Canterlot.
That being said, I hope everyone is staying safe, wearing masks as needed, and being excellent to one another.
Remember, Santa is watching, and he's not afraid to use that axe of his.
As of right now, the chapter is 2200 words long. This will be a tough one, not because it's hard...but because a man who has had his emotions oppressed for a very long time is going to be exposed to what he believes is his ultimate failure. There will also be a bit of a reveal of his past, before coming to Equestria. There will also be Cadence coming clean with some of her antics (not all).
This will be a very emotional chapter when it is finished.
When you have to babysit the building after work because the alarm decides it wants to quit...
Chapter 7 is almost done and partially edited. It took a bit of rework as the first attempt was leaving some stuff out that needs to be in it. It's currently at just over 2600 words and since work is not going to be an issue, should be done today and hopefully posted soon after.
When the dust settles, I hope the chapter's final version is pleasing to you.
I feel not only do I need to finish this story, but also to make up for lost time. It's been a couple of years and when inspiration strikes, you write. The story doesn't get the attention my older stories used to, but that's pretty much all on me. When you're inactive for a long time, people stop paying attention to you. That's the way things are.
Anyhoo, that being said, here's yet another Fizzlepop Berrytwist (aka Best. Unicorn. Ever.).
