What are the nightmares of these three fillies? · 5:46pm Feb 17th, 2021
A denied chance.
A denied chance.
Ooookay, so this still happens before the week ends. I dealt with quite some writing burnout this week, and a good bit of depression, but I pushed on yesterday and still prepared a chapter for "Dreamwalker Dash" to release this week.
"Dreamwalker Dash" reaches a big milestone this week. For the first time since I wrote "'Princess Flurry Heart, Destroyer of Worlds!'" and "Aunt Millie", I have reached ten chapters with a long and extensive multi-chapter story!
Okay, technically, your calendar does not say "Hearth's Warming Eve" yet if you are in the EST timezone. But two hours is close enough, right?
Like it's tradition for me since 2016, I have written a Hearth's Warming Eve story again this year. And like last year, it's a ponification of a movie!
We have left the peak behind, but we keep climbing. After a deliberate break from writing last week to avoid a devastating burnout, I am back to full form and "Dreamwalker Dash" is back with another chapter!
And this week's chapter is finally finished. I'm running on my last hooves with this release, exhausted and lacking sleep, but with no more than three days delay, Chapter 16 is finally finished!
And here it is, the surprise story that I announced earlier today!

I hate having to admit it, but it looks like our dear, infectious friend from China will cause a delay of Chapter 5. No, I'm not sick, don't worry. But, as the potential that this virus grows out of control completely rises and with no less than four confirmed cases in a neighboring country of my own (with about 80 other people these four had apparently contact with before they showed
We have finally reached the peak. It was a very long climb, but now we are here.
All right, this is a bit of an interesting episode. Obviously, this marks another milestone for Rarity, having been able to expand her business twice with success, gradually rising in renown. She's achieving her ambition! Only, one thing, at least her friends fear, might stand in the way of this. So, an opportunity to watch Rarity's friendships, and their bonds with each other, with usual sentimentality. I enjoyed it. Nothing too particular, just a good episode to
I got a message from someone asking me if I need help with writing "Dreamwalker Dash". They seem to fear that I have abandoned the story, so I'm clarifying that here:
"Dreamwalker Dash" is NOT dead.
I kept trucking along at the revision yesterday. I had to stop rather soon, because after a day of intense revising, my mind didn't really manage to stay focused anymore. Since I can't afford that the revision fails, I decided to stop after revising after about one fifth of Chapter 3.
It's barely Wednesday anymore, but here is now Chapter 2 of "Reformation from the Heart", as announced on Sunday!
Pinkie: Wait… so you're telling me there were other adventures we got up to in between Twilight getting her castle and Starlight joining our harem posse?!? And our audience never got to see them?!?
Stop the presses! This calls for an emergency cupcake! And perhaps an emergency party. Okay, definitely an emergency party.
So… where do I start?
This was a shaky week. I wasn't sure when this chapter will be ready, hence why there was no blog entry so far, but now it's done. Chapter 14 of "Dreamwalker Dash" is finished, coming with a pivotal point in the story, and will release tonight! Check your bookshelves and feeds at 10:00 PM EST!
So, I had a specific idea for this chapter in mind. But then, a sudden inspiration struck me and now this idea has been replaced by a different idea. One that will allow me to bring more depth into the story. The only downside is that this particular idea will also cause the release of the chapter to shift. As I wasn't fully familiar with the topic of my new idea, I had to do a bit of research and read a lot, which took up a good amount of writing time.
A long overdue moment finally happens..... Chapter 2 of "Liza Doolots and the Candy Factory" releases, as announced on Monday. I hope you still remember this story, if you started reading it in December, because three months often seem to be three years in fandom time. I hope you won't cut the views too much compared with Chapter 1.
I am not satisfied with the views of "Dreamwalker Dash". It did get a lot of favourites already (least, for my current level of popularity), 39 in total, and the overall reception is something I can compare with the success "Princess Flurry Heart, Destroyer of Worlds!" was. Minus the comments, there is far less discussion about it. But my fic for Flurry Heart started with a
Well, I did it again..... Writing on the holidays to save my goal. Which cannot be completely saved anymore now, I am falling short by one story for my December and end-of-the-year writing goal that was supposed to get released today at the latest, as it is a dedicated New Year's Eve story. One that I already wanted to write and release last year, but I focused too much on the dumb virus and that somehow messed with my writing plans for the entire year of 2020.
I just finished Chapter 13 with almost 7,000 words..... Tomorrow will see a bit of tweaking and proofreading, but the chapter is for the most part ready for release. Expect it tomorrow, at the usual release time of 10:00 PM EST.
Stay easy as a filly!
