I'm averaging about 2 pages a day because I keep rehashing things in order to word them right. While I have an editor now, I'm thinking if both of us work on it to this end, what gets made should be amazing! However, that's actually not the only reason progress is so slow right now. The truth is, I was talking again about gender dysphoria and what that's like in my story and I really don't like to talk about that. It just makes me think about how awful it makes me feel and I really don't like

Many of the transgender allegories used here are fairly obvious. For instance, Twinkle Shine is the name she chose for herself, and therefore, her name is Twinkle Shine now, and not Cozy Glow... Her ghosts are a past reflection of herself, much like my own ghosts are just past reflections of me. They haunt her dreams, and while she cannot get away, she can learn to deal with these nightmares and possibly even make friends with them.

Well I finally got done with chapter 6 today! There's a lot of notes and other things designed to help me piece it together at this point and I just gave the pre-release version to my pre-readers. In my process, that's the version of the chapter right before my final edit and publication. Next, I rehash it a time or two while taking whatever they said into consideration.

I'm taking a little hiatus from my regular writing to read a bit more and consider where I'm at with Cozy during this long day. I know I need to get her to accept her place as a daughter and get her to understand that this is about figuring her out. I intend to do the former in chapter 9 and the latter in chapter 8. How to take it in the right direction seems problematic, but not impossible. I'm thinking I'll start brainstorming on this idea some more and reading a bit of what I already wrote

The first chapter of the sequel to At the End of Ambition is up. I've decided to carry this story forward, despite the fact that it was intended to be one-shot. I thought for a while about how to go about it and this is basically the direction I've decided. To be honest, I don't really like what the final season ultimately did with the villains. I won't spoil anything but they really dropped the ball with Grogar and the final battle, while cool, ends exactly the way you think it does. I think

Time for things to start shaking up as Aurelian reunites with the first of his friends. It's an event that starts to bring our cast together once more as they try to make sense of what may come from Aurelian's moves. Enjoy.

With chapter 5 we do some checking in, mostly setting the stage for what comes next. I'm looking forward to getting to the next chapter as that is where one of my major ideas behind this story makes itself prominent. The feedback for this has been great so thank you to everyone who is reading, commenting, liking and favoriting; it's greatly appreciated. Enjoy

Suddenly in the mood to write more Cozy Glow and King Sombra stuff...

but it'S FREAKING ALMOST 12 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

I watched the new episode and all I can say is WOW! This episode was spectacular. I thought seeing an episode that focused solely on the villains was amazing. After seeing this episode I am thinking more than I was before that Cozy Glow, Tirek and Chrysalis will turn on Grogar at some point. What I found hilarious and adorable was how Cozy Glow kept on saying that Grogar put her in charge, typical Cozy for you. It also seems like she doesn't have any doubts that those three could come up

...Did anyone else suspect that she was Chrysalis in disguise? (Next episode is the Chrysalis one, according to Wikipedia)

Hm...

There may be something in the works. Maybe.

It might have something to do with a certain pesky pegasus filly and her stress-case alicorn rival. Do you guys want to see what happens?

I've been thinking a lot about what I wrote here over the course of about 17 days. I've been re-reading segments of it and trying to make sense of it, because the truth is, I just knew I had something to say. But I did not know exactly what that was... But the more I analyze it, the more I'm starting to realize that at its core, this is a story about letting go. Here, I'm consciously making a decision to leave my past behind... Like Twinkle Shine said, I don't need to remember. Simply

I'm thinking of testing the waters and getting back into writing now that I'm guaranteed to be sober and whatnot.

No more shitnanigans to distract me from the world of hoers.

I posted that story roughly ten minutes before I had to go to work, and came home expecting some people to have some pretty strong opinions about it. I fully expected to have some people accuse me of defending Cozy Glow, or taking it took far. The biggest expectation I had was for people to accuse me of jumping on the bandwagon that is the pretty loud outcry over this episode.

Funny how the one I expected most was the one that didn't happen.

The truth is that I actually had no control over the nightmares Cozy experienced in the last chapter. As such, it stands to reason that I should figure out what they mean before figuring out what they would mean to Cozy Glow. So I've begun reviewing them and I just took some notes on what those visions mean to me. That way, I'll be able to interpret them and let them play into the next chapter.

You know, given that spoilers are in order for those of you who haven't seen the finale. I really shouldn't have to be outright obvious and say spoilers are in order, but given Princess Platinum Blonde elected to call me out for this when I dropped the bomb of Lightning Dust (Screw you Lightning-Bitch!) returning I figure I should probably forewarn y'all. if you don' want to read about spoilers which are probably all over the internet by now anyways... The door's that way.

One interesting aspect of the Season Nine Finale is that Discord actively advised the Princesses to punish the League of Evil with petrification, which is to say the exact same punishment he endured for over a thousand years. By "actively," I mean that he stepped forward and decided to speak to them of his own initiative.

So I spoke to my editor earlier today and we're looking at about two weeks for the final chapter of Trixie Interviews, plus epilogue... I confess that I'm feeling somewhat emotional, although Cozy lives on in my new project. I've been working on the first chapter and I have just over 8 pages and cranked out another 1000 words today! In chapter 10, we saw, A Filly Named Cozy Glow, as I was trying to paint a picture of what sort of person Cozy actually is. In the first chapter of this next
