Hello everypony (anypony is probably a better choice of word though XD)
Alright guys, just a bit of news!
I had some family things to take care of, nothing bad, just took up a lot of time. Anyway, it delayed my writing on the next chapter, but I am happy to say we are halfway there now.
The chapter is over 4.000 words long now, which means when it releases, the story will be over 90.000 words long, and well on its way to be my first story that passes 100.000 words!
so yes, just wanted to keep you guys in the loop! Happy Monday!
I'm still on with blogging about this story, I know. Just a bit longer and I'll post it.
Now sitting at over 46 thousand words and being subjected to numerous rewrites, I imagine anyone who's been following my blogs just assumed it was another thing I talked about doing and just never did.
But it is done.
Progress blog for the new readers of Spike Hates Himself (SHH [feels like I'm silencing a crowd with this acronym]). Going through the next release of the story right now, and will have my other pair of eyes TheWraithWriter on the case whenever he's available. Next chapter is hovering around 5,100 words written on and off. I'm also separating this chapter into a two-parter, mostly because the chapter is establishing another mini story within it, just as a slight tease if I ever decided
Hey folks, Tact here for the Nth time. So, there's a reason why I kinda dropped off of the face of the Earth, for both my FanFiction and FiMFiction accounts; I moved!
Ya boi is moving on up in the world and he's happy. Internetless, but happy! Eventually, when I can stable myself enough, I'll be back and with a passion. Until then, I—wow, this almost hurts saying:
I've noticed that a lot of my stories currently in the works involve guards, or guard-like characters. I'm starting to think I may have a type. Or possibly a problem. Nevertheless! They are what they are. Rest assured, though, I do have more than just guard-pony stories.
Hey, everyone.
Wow, you know, it's been a while, and I'm not even going to look to see how long it's been since I've last published a chapter. However, I've been starting to write again despite how hard it's been. By that, I mean I'm still making a lot of mistakes, and Grammarly is working overtime, underlining all my fuckups.
I'm finally figuring out how to make these chapters more readable and easy to understand.
Hi all!
Only one day late on the blog this time!
Last night, I finished mission six. However, because I have a backlog, I’ve identified three additional scenes I need to add, so I’m not quite done yet. That’s the bad news. The good news is that only one of the three scenes has any real length, the rest are just short add ons. I could be finished by the end of the day.
Hi all.
I told myself I'd post a blog yesterday. I lied. So I'm posting one today.
I've managed to catch up with Designing Intrigue. I've written chapters three through eight. So there will be updates sometime in the fall for that one.
IN WHICH I REMEMBER AN OLD LESSON
Hey everypony! Sorry about the late update. Since I’ll be gone over Memorial day weekend (Yay FanimeCon!) I thought I should at least do a little update so I don’t miss two weeks of updates.
And I decided I wanted to do something I don’t normally do, and give you a little preview of the start of my next story. It’s unedited, so it may be a little rough- but I hope you enjoy it!
Here's a special update and a rare occasion! Updating two stories at once! The final chapter of Through The Looking Glass is now up, as is the next chapter of Sensual Spirals! (which is rated M, so please make sure you're appropriately mature enough before looking at it).
Let's make this post an AMA. Because why not. Come at me.
anyway this is definitely supposed to be a fun season, and that means I'll need to start getting some fun stuff done now that my life has settled a little. Last month, on this day, I told you guys a bunch of the stuff I've been planning. Well, now I have a better idea of how all those plans are doing. Let's take a look at that dumb little list I made last month of my things to do, and see what the progress is....
I will start typing my pre-written story, Tomb of Magic in chapter installments. This story will be a sequel to Crystalline in case anyone wanted to know that. The process will be simple enough:
1) Type chapter
2) remove one or two major errors
3) add any forgotten content and review authors notes
4) dump on my editor
5) post
6) you get the idea
If you have not already, please read the prequel to T.O.M (Tomb of Magic) which will be tagged.
So, the first batch of Season Six will be airing this month, this is sooner than expected. Well, on one hand this is good news (MOAR PONIES, SOONER!), it might cause issues to arise in my existing story ideas.
Holla, Its another day of writing for me, another day of peaches. So Foal Fable is going great I mean amazing. Also chapter 5, shesh its going to be long. I'm at 1000 words and I still have to introduce 5 character. I hope that it doesn't take long I don't want you guys to wait for long. So head over to Foal Fable and check it out while I get chapter 5 out.
Love,
Hoofed Writing
Since I already watched the series finale the other night (and was spoiled on a couple details prior to that), I already have a plan in mind for a Teen-Rated story that involves Discord after the events of Episodes 24 & 25. The oneshot will be published sometime in the next few days, and is currently In-Progress to read on my Official Patreon Page. I have about 1,000 words written so far, but I intend on writing out a lot more tonight:
Hello all.
Now that I'm getting back to a more even keel on my writing, I've decided it's probably time to cast the net for available editors and art-folks. I've not had a team of peeps to work with or talk to in a while, so this is probably a long time coming.
Yeah, sorry but it's been a pretty exhausting week and I don't think I'll do much. Right now there is only one story that I'll be working on. It's been on hiatus long enough.
A New Beginning shall return.
