Here's where we are on the Seashell print book:
83 pages all told, including front matter and a preface. 75 of them so far are story. Anticipating about 10-20 more pages to be finished. Almost there!
Cover's done (for the hardcover edition dust-jacket, at least, will probably have to be redone for the paperback but whatever).

Once again, the proof copy is out for delivery right now.

The hardcover edition proof copy turned out great - some text mistakes to fix, but no printing errors that aren't mine! Lulu can print a book to specifications! Yay!

So the copy mistakes are fixed in that edition, and production copies are ready to print. I pretty much just have to go to the website and hit the button, and the presses start rolling. Do they uses presses in printing anymore? I doubt it. Well, you know what I mean.

The previous chapter of The Lost Element was finished back in November. Half a year later and I am only half done or so with proofreading Volume 2. I never expected the process to be this tedious and time consuming.

I have no desire to wait a full year to update the story, so once I finish proofreading the current chapter, I will take a break to write the next chapter to hopefully give myself a refreshing change of pace.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to KoLB's last major blog update.

Alright script fillies and colts, I have received some PMs and replies... and some Discord and Skype action force on the subject of should No Longer Displaced have a print run. The overwhelming answer is yes, so let's move ahead with the nitty gritty.

So, I received the NLD and ASoD prints today.

1 of the ASoD books has a damaged cover.
11 of the NLD books have damaged spines, bent pages, skewed covers, and/or clipped covers.

This is unacceptable quality, and it really fucks my plans with Sober being kidnapped in a few days.

It's probably the first time I've been able to use this image and mean it.

So, got my copy of Fallout: Equestria (3rd printing) yesterday and have pictures up on my blog.
If interested, you should check it out.

So, due to my high level connections here and there, I now have an advance copy of several highly sought after ponyfic books. Now that I've had a chance to check several of them out in person, I have to say that Ponyfeather Publishing does excellent work. Anyone able to pick one up, at Bronycon or ordering them afterward, should totally do so.

Finally got things locked in for my book. It's all ready for Everfree Northwest in August (and Lulu just afterwards).

The exterior cover and interior story art have also been shared on Twitter, so here's my post to share them with everyone here if you have not seen them.

Howdy! For about a year now I've been working on my getting a print edition of my Deltarune fanfiction, Tension Points (AO3 link, Offprint link). Well, it's here now! Pictures and details below!

So yeah, things are going absolutely spectacularly for my writing life right now. In order, here's what happened over the weekend:

1. Memoirs of a Magic Earth Pony officially breached the 100,000 word barrier, which makes me so excited I think I might explode. That's over a year's worth of continual work and I'm damn proud I've gotten this far. Here's to 300,000 more! or however many it takes to detail Starswirl's life.

Proofreading for Volume 2 is nearly complete. However, I recall shortly after making Volume 1 available in printed form that some readers had difficulty discerning where chapters ended and the next began despite the titles of each chapter being front and center at the top of the page.

What can I do to fix this problem? Increase the size of the title text? Bolden the text? Underline it?

I got bored tonight and decided to mathematically reconstruct a 3D model of the Crystal Heart as of S6E1 ("The Crystalling - Pt. 1"). It's 3D printable, scaled to 'actual size' (near as anyone can tell, at any rate), and took me about 2 hours to make, mainly because I had to calculate a bunch of lengths and angles using 2D projection. Enjoy!

Hey, y'all. I've mentioned before that I want to get more illustrations in future WWB books, and I'm interested in hearing what scenes you want drawn! Also I have a question concerning Playing House's print edition. Details below the cut

Today's release has been a long time coming, and I'm thrilled to finally make it available to fans of Skywriter's work!

The REMASTER edit pass has been finished! Things are off for a final typo hunt, which means that stuff is definitely going to be done well before the deadline. Originally, I had intended to do some strange double invoice thing to separate print costs and shipping costs. Given that I live in IL, however, I discovered that this becomes a pain in the ass on the tax front. Essentially, the nitty gritties have changed slightly, but I now have the numbers on the true costs of print, taxes,

Proofreading Volume 2 has made me develop a newfound appreciation for how far I have come in terms of the quality of my writing. A big part of why editing it has been such a slog is how much harder it is to have to read through chapters that are not quite up to snuff with what I've been churning out in recent years. To quote Ben Yahtzee Croshaw...

"99% of all creators loathe everything they made more than 5 years ago and the remaining 1% are liars!"
