Things have still not been going too great on the job search front. I did manage to get a couple more shifts at my store, but not enough to help out with the money situation. The only highlight so far has been that working the front end register meant I got a review from a customer who gave me the highest score on the survey from the receipt, which was the first day I worked up front, so that was a surprise.

Still having no luck with work. In fact, things have gotten worse. I'm now working 5 hours a week and having a lot of trouble finding a new job as no pharmacies are hiring full-time and everywhere is looking for technicians that have been working for at least a year at the pharmacy.
At this rate my bank account is going to run out and I will be out of a place to live within a month, let alone be able tobuy food or gas.
I don't know what to do...

So as I mentioned earlier, there's some major delays with Change the Heart getting the new chapters out because work has been a complete pain in my ass lately.

I've talked about this on the Amino app, but I feel the need to also let those of you on here know what's going on.
There's going to be some unfortunate delays in getting out the next few chapters. My work has been becoming rather frustrating as of late, messing with my hours, scheduling me for days I wasn't supposed to show up or changing my times at the last minute, and recently I was just scheduled for one 6-hour day for the next two weeks.

For those that wish to have somewhat more interactions with the author or keep up with random bits of art/updates, I do currently have the Equestria Amino app. Name there is FatesWind, with the same picture of our lovable blue pigeon as I have on here (again, made by the lovely mod behind the Laura the zony tumblr/Noodlefreak88 on DA).

Work on Chapter 14 has begun. I'm deviating from the outline just for the beginning so that I'm not dropping us right into the meat of things, and I believe that should be the only change to the chapter that I'm making so far.

Considering having an Ask the Author on the Amino app... Questions about the story, writing process, inspiration, etc. maybe.
Since I'm free this Saturday and next I might do it one of those days if people are interested.

I know this is way too much to hope for, especially considering Change the Heart isn't finished yet, but I just absolutely love the idea of someday appearing in the featured section on the front page. Not only would that be a huge achievement for me and just have me feel like this work is truly good, but it'd also mean that I can get more people to see it and possibly check it out. I know this is a hope for every author on the site, so it'd come as no surprise I share the same one.

Some of you that keep a close eye on the details in Change the Heart may have noticed a couple changes that appeared over the past couple of days. As you may be aware, each chapter opens up with a little quote that in some way relates either to a theme for the chapter, the title, or something mentioned in the chapter. For those that have been keeping an eye on all the details, you might remember that the quotes were from actual people, the show, written works, or, in the case of Ignis Fatuus,

Oh? What do we have here?

Due to having to search for a new job and finishing up an internship this past year, Change the Heart has fallen through the cracks. I've had a lot of things on my plate that have either taken up my time or worn down my ability to easily cope with everyday stress and depression rearing its ugly head, and that's managed to get in the way of working on the new chapter and finishing up the story. Add to that the complete overhaul I've had to do for this chapter's outline and the workload has just

I figure a little something to tide everyone over (and to prove I'm still alive and working on this) might be in order, so here's a bit of Chapter 13:

"Woooohoooooo!" shouted Rainbow Dash as Fate's Winds soared over the tentacles of a giant kraken that had been trying to crush them moments ago before they had once again engaged the rockets and took to the skies. "Now this is what I'm talking about! Why haven't we done this sooner?!"

Hoo boy, I've been away for a loooooong time. Gods the last chapter was written nearly two-and-a-half years ago. I know I've left the story hanging for so long and I keep not making the deadlines I set for myself, not to mention all the promises that the next chapter would be coming soon.

Well, now that my editor has FINALLY come back, I can start getting feedback on Chapter 12 as it comes along. It's still on schedule to be finished around the end of the first quarter of 2016, so that's good.
I am going to be so glad to finally be done with this section. Please remind me of the garbage I've been going through if I ever express an interest in doing something like Chapters 11 and 12 in the future.

I'm so sorry for being silent for so long, everyone. School, a lack of motivation and various other things have been really keeping me down, not to mention that Chapter 12 is one that I'd started to wish I hadn't included in the final outline. All of that combined has meant that we've been left with a cliffhanger for nearing two years. I'll admit it, there have been times where I've thought of just throwing this story away, and I haven't really been used to the whole process of creating
