Almost done with the next chapter. I"m stuck trying to decide if there's certain scenes I want in there now, or if I want them to be in the next chapter or two. Hope everyone is doing well!

So the last three years I've been writing KOTD, I've always had a deadline. I started off at a week, then quickly found that I was too new at writing to keep that up, so I dropped it to a chapter a month. This has worked out well, but sometimes I just can't hit that quota. Also the idea of "I gotta finish this, I gotta finish this!" stumps my writing energy a lot. Stressing about deadlines, is easily my biggest creative killer. If I have a few weeks where I don't have the energy to write, I

As the title says, I'm almost ready to release the next KOTD chapter. I've been working on it bit by bit, but I misplaced my notes for the chapter so it's taken a bit longer to remember what all I wanted to include. Thank you for your patience!

So friggin glad I'm done with the damn trial! You'd be surprised just how much effort I put into it. It's also hard to be in the mood to write it. Now I get to move on to the scenes I want to write! I'm really looking forward to these next few chapters! And to all my new readers who also \gave me a thumbs up, thank you so much! It's been a crappy few weeks since I messed up my back at work, so my mood has kinda tanked. Your support gives me more hope than you know. Thanks again for being

Almost done! Clear skies and decent weather just...got me in the writing mood! I hope you all enjoy this next chapter! There's a lot going on and it was exhausting, yet exhilarating to write!

New chapter is done. Maybe I'm in a weird mood but it just reads strangely to me. Can't tell if it's fine or the writing really is weird...

Chapter's done and I hope you enjoy it!

Holy crap this chapter took more work than chapter 8, despite being like half the size. I used to have this nasty issue of glossing over something that I didn't feel like explaining at the moment or planning on explaining later then forgetting. I didn't take good chapter notes as I went along.
*spoilers if you haven't read chapter 9*

Honestly, there wasn't a whole lot wrong with this chapter. Mostly some bland descriptions and not setting the mood properly.

Okay this time I admit I abused the "I did this..." rule a tone. There were other random sections where I knew I had a purpose for them at the time, but after rereading it, I had no idea what they were reffering to. I spruced up some of the descriptions, as a lot of it felt kind of...basic. I added in more emotion and tried to really drive home hoe the current predicament was psychologically messing with the Taraskans.
Hope you all enjoy and as always, thanks for being a fan!

Aaaaand there we go! This chapter was a little more tricky. I had some confusing numbers in the squads and made some writing errors. Also there was some context confusion about who was doing what. not sure if anyone noticed or cared, but I did. Tried to make it a lot more gut-wrenching and heart-breaking.
SPOILERS if you haven't read past this chapter.

Okay so my ending plot points are just...super messed up and I have to fix them. There's a lot of " Situation A needs to happen so person B can save person A, but person B can't get there until situation B and AAAAAAAHHHHH!
I thought I had resolved this, but when I started writing the chapter, I realized there's a few vital details I missed and changing ONE changes like three others so I'm taking time to figure it out.

Okay...it's almost here. I'm not gonna give numbers, but I'm so close to marking KOTD book 1 as completed. Like I'm on the home stretch where a lot of chapters are prewritten scenes from back when I first started writing KOTD. This point until the end is planned out storywise, with plenty of room for me to add new stuff. I'm so excited but a tad sad to see book 1 be done and over with. With the next chapter, I'm gonna crack down and edit a few more chapters.

Okay so I found like...two errors in this one. There wasn't anything wrong with it, and it's been that way for the last two chapters, so I think the worst is over. My main focus though, was to lengthen the chapter. It was sitting at a cringy 1600 words give or take. So I added about another 600. There's more plotting and predicting, as well as our heroes learning more about the world they're in. I think it looks a lot better, and I'm rather happy I decided to edit it tonight.

Have I been working on King of the Dead? Yes. Has it all been on the next chapter? No. The next chapter is like 90% of the way finished, but I keep getting these huge urges to work on some of the final chapters, which in my opinion, are going to be super badass. Thank you for being patient!

Progress on the next chapter is going well, but I'm having a hard time finding just the right music to help me write. I need something that pairs well with telling a sad story.

The combat in chapter 35 was...well there were a few minor changes to make. This one was less on combat and more on consequences though.

Didn't change much in chapter 36. A few typos, changed some wording is all.

This chapter is kicking my ass. I'm so close to being done with it. It tells another part of a very familiar story in the MLP universe but from a different perspective. I didn't realize until I got to it, that there are a lot of questions I have. I'm filling them in, coming up with how I imagined things played out and why. I REALLY don't want to rewatch the episodes since I've seen them enough. All in all though, this chapter should be fun! Thanks again for being fans! Chapter should be ready

Trying to spruce up the long description. The short description was a friggin' nightmare, but I'm rather set on it given its extreme limitations. The long description though, I got like three pages dedicated to different variations of it. Currently, it feels like I'm spoonfeeding the reader and I hate it. I tried switching to a letter like

Okay so decided to edit chapter 12 another time because...well it's super long. But anyways I got the next chapter ready to go so keep an eye on your feeds tomorrow! Thank you all for being patient! This next chapter's a dousy so do me a solid and leave me some feedback please and thank you!
