Do you ever have those times when you severely overestimate your ability to get things done on schedule? Or how about days when you feel like everything in the world wants to distract you?

In preparation for the next chapter of M.L.G., have the profile of the first of Levi's opponents.
Name: Trifecta, formerly known as "Springboard"
Species: Earth pony
Approximate Age: Mid-forties
Coloration: Light brown coat, blue and green mane and tail
Cutie Mark: A coil
Special Talent: Unknown
Got another commissioned art piece for you from EvanRank at DeviantArt. Here's an image of Drama Heart in full Burning Salamandra attire, from the M.L.G. chapter "A Limitless Chest of Tales".
You can find the original here. If you like what you see, feel free to click the link above and check out more of the artist's work!
Worked this image of Drama Heart (sane) up in the Pony Creator. Had to draw the Cutie Mark separately.
I'm not feeling too good due to the preparations I had to undergo for my visit to the hospital tomorrow, so I'm going to cut this off here for now.
I have my doubts that I'll be able to finish the chapter by my estimated deadline. Work and distractions have been a bit of a thing, and on top of that, I have to go to the hospital on Monday so they can check to see how the Humira I've been taking is treating me. The chapter is nowhere near finished, much to my annoyance. So if I'm unable to upload anything by next Saturday, I'll let you know.
Name: Bossa Nova
Species: Female minotaur
Approximate Age: Late twenties
Coloration: Crimson up top, maroon from the waist down
Accessories: Wears a tan vest with wings stitched into the collar. Yes, it's a "Red Bull" reference. I was feeling whimsical at the time.
Approximate Voice: Take Boa Marigold's voice from One Piece and fuse it with an earthquake.
So, yeah: I got hit with a sudden onslaught of work within the past few days. Same client as the one from October-November of last year. They wanted some more stuff done, and the company I work for was tasked with handling it. I had no time to work on M.L.G. today, and that's likely to continue on into next week. As such, the new Chapter Update Deadline is now March 23.
Name: Limefrost Spiral
Species: Female earth pony
Approximate Age: Twenty-three years
Coloration: Off-white coat, green eyes, and mane and tail in assorted shades of light green
Cutie Mark: A bowl of vanilla ice cream garnished with a lime slice
Special Talent: Artistry
Accessories: Is always seen with green bands of some kind or other around her forelegs.
"Limefrost Spiral" is a perfect name for a pony.
That is all. >^_^<
...
Well, okay. If you want more, I should have the next chapter up on Friday barring any new assignments at work. I'm thoroughly enjoying working on this one, so I'm writing at a pretty good clip.
Within the past few weeks, I had artwork of Gray Ghost commissioned from EvanRank at DeviantArt. No prizes for guessing which scene in the story that this is depicting. I think this is a nice upgrade from the Pony Creator pic I was using.
Just wanted to let those following me and M.L.G. know that I'm going to take a break from writing for a few days.
Want to know why?
Figure I may as well whip up profiles for the rest of Gray and Ebony's family while I'm on today. Here's some background music while you read this. >^_^<
I've got a couple things to talk about here. First, a bit of music to set the mood.
"Delays, delays!"
It's frustrating. I had the next chapter of M.L.G. on my flash drive at work. I put it in my pocket with the intent to take it home with me and post it when I was next on Fimfiction. I went to a local pharmacy to pick up some medicine. I go home, take everything out of my pockets, and discover that for some reason the flash drive wasn't in my pocket.
...I've set up a basic page for M.L.G. over at TV Tropes. Those of you who are familiar with the site and are willing to contribute, feel free to check things out here.
Just wanted to let you all know. >^_^< Take care, and ciao mein for now.
The latest chapter of M.L.G. is going to be delayed by a day or two. There are several reasons for this.
#1: As I've stated previously, I do most of my work on the story at my office. Business has picked up some, which has given me less time to write than I'd hoped.
