I realized I misworded some of the depictions of where he is. It was crystal clear in my head , but this is how you learn hehe.

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

Agh chapter 46 is kicking my ass! There are so many friggin long convos! Don't get me wrong, they're all important, but uuuggghhh! I think that's been one of the main challenges with writing KOTD, is all the different emotions this novel has. A lot of it I REALLY have to be in the mood. Some chapters are me "venting" after having a nasty panic attack or just old memories from my PTSD.

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.

So after dealing with a lot of financial crap, work was like "Go take a huge ass vacation."

There wasn't much to edit honestly. I found some better words to use and some awesomer descriptions. This is definitely a chapter that gets me pumped and I don't know why I put off editing it for so long.

Eh, saw several annoying typos and a few places to spruce up the wording. Also there were some unclear actions I was able to tidy up, nothing too serious imo.

Holy crap there were so many typos! I'm friggin shocked! I thought I had written this when my standards had improved, but apparently not! Maaaan editing 8.8k words takes a while. I'm happier with it though. A lot happier. It looked like it had never had a spellcheck before though, which is weird cause I coulda swore that everything after chapter 20 was put through microsoft's reviewer thing. You see, this was back before I found out that Gdocs spellcheck was awful, and loved to change "its" to

*Cracks neck* sweet lord these long chapters are murder. I mean yes they're long, but I've read them so many damn times, especially this chapter. I had spent a long time trying to make the descriptions short, sweet, meaningful and poetic. I still saw some previous dialogue problems, back when I'd say the body language of who's talking, then put in a comma, followed by the dialogue. Granted this was one of the first scenes I wrote before I had actually began the story. Before chapter 1 was even

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!

Best typo in KOTD: "She grabs the back of his head and holds it still, as she drives a knee spike into his forehead. She shoves his dad bod away." Christ that's been in there this entire time

Added in some extra dialogue, some better descriptions to better depict how people are feeling. I think the entire thing flows better now. I stil gotta watch how I keep starting every sentence with "I did this" or "I did that"

God I love writing action, but it can get so annoying. Do you know how hard it is to condense a scene to as few words as possible, while everything still keeps at an intense, clear pace?

Honestly, if you're waiting for my edits to finish, don't bother. I'm just kind of nit-picking and looking for things to spruce up. I haven't found much, if anything, in the way of errors.

New chapter's done. Will be posting it tomorrow around 5 as usual. Thank you all so much for your patience! After I post this, I'm gonna spend some time doing some more editing on KOTD.

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!

I'm like 2/3rds of the way done with the next chapter. I've had some roommate stuff go down recently, so I've been pretty spent when it comes to creative energy.

Chapter's done and I hope you enjoy it!

Hope you enjoy it!

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.
