I don't usually do blog posts, aside from the occasional announcement or random thing, but this has been on my mind for a while.
I don't usually do blog posts, aside from the occasional announcement or random thing, but this has been on my mind for a while.
I started catching up on what I could yesterday when I saw the crazy amount of notifications I had accumulated. It's certainly going to take me a while and then some to read all of the stories that were published recently. I'm not doing too good; I'll have a blog about that sooner or later. Until then, know that I have some updates for Marigold's story that have been edited and are waiting for readers. The story is nearing the minimum length for a novel and has had so much effort poured into
Fun fact, this chapter that I've just posted was surprisingly fun, and my second most recent chapter. It was also a chapter I did at byootfick in the dead of night, cranking out roughly four fifths of the entire chapter in one go (roughly 4000 words). I had NEVER been that motivated. This is ALSO a chapter my editor and best friend highly enjoyed, which surprised me a bit. He certainly likes my work, but this was much higher praising than I was used to, which made me a little suspicious, but
Yea so Chapter 8 is being worked on I can guarantee that but as we all wait for what the hell James is doing and aching to go back, page and page, refreshing and refreshing. I might as will provide a little detail for this chapter and that is.
It's gonna have some useless scenes but! A little twist is about to rear it's face along with that I m nearly done with it but damn.
I made the surprising discovery the other day that Deviantart User 96paperkuts has published some amazing fanart for Cyclosa over on her Amino account. I've seen the artist's work over on Derpibooru rather often and I've always quite enjoyed her style, so having a scene from one of my stories done in it is obviously pretty flattering.
I've been dying to do this one, and I'm afraid I've gone overboard. I love fight music. I love stuff that gets my blood pumping. I love imagining my characters kicking ass. So of course, I couldn't just pick three tracks. Below is a mix of EDM (drum & bass, darkcore, industrial, dub, and grind house), metal, punk, pop, and...stuff. Just stuff. Lots of stuff. Some of these have lyrics, and I separate them. Hope you enjoy! Feel free to share your favorites too.
Hello ponies! I missed uploading a chapter of anything yesterday because I was having trouble with the flow of the scenes for Frozen Shadows and since I have two ongoing stories and teased a new one in my blog last week here, I'm gonna put them in an easier to comprehend update here with the order of priority on my list:
I had an hour this morning before work to do some writing. I could get something done in that small space of time, yeah. Then my stomach had to go and get nauseated so I can't even get breakfast down, let alone write. Yeah, thanks stomach for that. Thanks a heap.
So basically I've dropped the ball and it doesn't look like I'm going to get this chapter finished tonight.
Le gasp!
Apple Bloom was hoping the success would continue to pass all these potions that were a result of trying to get her cutie mark on to somepony else.
This sentence..... I'm in love with it. I'm in love with it and I want to make many foals with it. This is the most elegant sentence I have ever written.
It conveys excellently four different things:
So, I watched the Gauntlet of Fire, and I just wanted to note that this episode, for all its strengths, really also shows that the show’s creators continue to struggle with using characters as bystanders, as well as character development.
All the updates for the next few months are listed below! Check out when the next updates are going to be released! Thanks to an automated chapter release thingy, all updates unless noted (*) will be posted regularly at 7 pm EST!
As a few of you have probably noticed, I am finally back in the writing business proper since Sunday, after three months of basically zero output courtesy of depressions that let my writing tempo slow down to a crawl. I have finally released a new story that I had promised for a long time now (I will talk more about this one below, for those of you who wonder about the
It's time to do this. It has been a long time coming. And I would have done it much earlier already if my writing skill hadn't suffered so much since Spring 2017 that it needed almost two years of recovery to get to a point where I can trust the quality of my writing again.
But now the time has come. I will do what countless pony authors have done before me and open a Patreon account to get financial support for my writing.
Lately, I have some slight problems with sticking to my daily schedule, writing and otherwise. I still managed to release the updates for "The Sky is Gone: Acceptance" here and on Patreon on time, but for a couple days now, I notice that I have worsening time management problems. I sleep longer for no good reason, I start writing later and later and a task I had planned, cleaning my Cutie Mark Crusaders plushies for a "Ponies Around the World" trip that will happen soon, as well as cleaning my
Or, at least four days later..... Here's a little story snippet that jumped into my head on Thursday morning while I was still lying half asleep in bed. This happens quite often and I have a strong urge to write this one down. That's also the first time I'm just writing a story idea in a blog entry, like so many other authors do! It sounds good, but doesn't fit anywhere else, so I put it here.
most likely i'll be putting it up on offprint.net since I'm already familiar with that site myself (despite it being in a VERY beta-y stage still)
It's either Google Adsense or Donating Money to the Site to keep it up.
You want your clop? Go to Derpibooru or R34 Paheal.
Need to rely on clickbait cover art to gather in the views on get on that precious Feature Box? How about actually practicing your writing so you can be proud of making top quality stories (or stories that you can care about)?
This site is ultimately about the stories, not the cover arts.
It's probably been a while, or maybe I'm just too quiet lately. I'm not sure. Either way, let's talk story updates. Even though I can't write in the same way I used to (mostly because I'd need, like, more three of me to keep up with all the shit I want to do in general) I've still been getting stuff done! It may not be three stories updating near-monthly or a hecking bunch of more substantial new one-shots popping out every few weeks, but it's something. Get those below the break!
