Well, not done, but I finished the writing part. Just needs a paranoid proofread or five and it'll be in your hands, and more importantly: out of mine.

I want to apologize in advance for its length. I'm not gonna drop the number here, but it's long. I know what that means to some of you, already.

But, surprisingly enough: it's not bad.

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.

Hey there peoples of the world and thereafter, it's me! What a surprise seeing me after clicking on this blog I published, right?

Okay, so it's been a while, yeah? Just about a month, a holiday, and a whole lot of miscellaneous, worldly change. And through all the time, I still haven't put up that next chapter.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

I made plans to finalize edits and have the chapter out by now, but I had tO ENTERTAIN SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED COMPANY. WHY DO I EVEN HAVE FRIENDS ALL THEY DO IS DISTRACT ME FROM BEING ANTISOCIAL?

i'm really tired but I'm gonna try to power through and get the chapter out in the next few hours

next chapter's in the editing stage

look out bitches and or nice people that i love very much

i promise it kicks all kinds of butt

oh also i don't know how long it'll take me to edit whoops

Alright, no preamble, let's jump into addressing my issues. And by that, of course, I mean just rambling about them for a while until I manage to bring up the 'solution' I thought of while I was away.

Problem #1! Pacing!

Yeah, shouldn't be a surprising place to start if you've been paying attention.

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.

It has come to my attention throughout the course of a lot of time thinking as well as an increasing number of comments that I have become very boring.

Hold your gasps, there's more.

Anyone who is caught up on the story can easily tell that there is a big problem plaguing it. Well, that's actually subjective, but hopefully everyone can at least recognize the problem's merits for the general populace. The problem, as it were, is a severe lack of anything interesting happening.

>be me

>write thousands of words of a pony monologuing in his head

>forget how to write the pony talking to other ponies

I think I'm projecting onto my writing.

New segment on the JinxTJL show: letting my guard down and actually talking about things.

Thing of the day: Me freaking out about future chapters because I know so little about science; not realizing that 90% of people who read fanfiction will accept anything as long as it sounds cool enough.

This has concluded Jinx's daily freakout; please return to your regular, mundane lives until next I call upon you.

Basically what it says on the tin. Past me is an illiterate fool who took notes to seem cool. Current me actually cares about literary integrity, and bullet points and curt, vague statements aren't very thorough.

Hey all, it's me! That guy who writes mediocre horse words by the thousands! Did you miss- okay you didn't have to say no that quickly.
