IN WHICH DUMB IDEAS CAN YIELD GOOD
So, one of my readers randomly commented on my user-page, suggesting a story about spiders. Naturally, I responded by posting the live cut of They Might Be Giants song "Spider". I felt it was appropriate.
Hello readers! As promised, my first Q&A session is ready to go. So let's just get into the responses I received.

As you said, the current arc is nearing it's end, so what's next?
On Saturday, November 19, 2016, at around 2:00PM Pacific, I cracked the 50K barrier for this year’s surge of writing on Wavelength Theorems.
You read that right, folks. You’re reading the blog of an author who’s won National Novel Writing Month eight years running. 
I did this a couple years ago, my answers have probably updated since. Send me some numbers and I’ll answer them.
(Mind the A Little Louder link, I want traffic).
And we're back! Due to apparent word count limitations, this chapter's discussion required it be split into separate posts, and today I bring you the second half, containing the oh so tumultuous resolution to Gallus and Grandpa Gruff's fued. Let's not waste anymore time and get right on into it!

You find yourself in Equestria! After making friends with all the ponies, you realize how spooked you are to be away from earth...and how nice it'd be to get a hug!
IN WHICH I RECONSIDER OLD WORK
Ah, Ch.11(Closure). For a while, I considered this to be the best chapter of The Bonds of Love, even better than the Smolder and Mount Aris chapters. It’s not hard to see why—Ch.10(Home) did most of the setup concerning Gallus’ feelings toward Griffonstone, leaving Ch.11(Closure) to ride that setup and finally discuss his and Gruff’s relationship—something I’ve wanted to address since the very beginning with A Day for Family.
Y’all remember a couple of weeks back when I posted a story about a pony complaining about it snowing weeks after Spring started?
You’ll never guess what it did last Monday.

Yes! I have a shelf full of the stories that need work done to them. It's currently down to eleven stories and 610,931 words. Yeah, that's the hard part. The word count of some of the stories I'll be getting to is heavy. The amount of work some of them need is also excessive too. All of that is admittedly very frustrating, as everyone knows, I loathe the editing process and would much rather be adding to my backlog of content to release.
Well, damn. This is a long one.
So it turns out I made it to Everfree Northwest 2023 after all -- well, most of it. I did have to miss a big chunk of Saturday, unfortunately, and some of Friday evening. But I got to see almost all the panels I was most excited for, got to do the big activities that I was itching to do, and got to meet (or reunite) with so many members of our lovely fanfic community!
Alternate Title: Griffonstone — For obvious reasons. I didn’t go with it since I still preferred naming the chapters after their main themes.
Ch.10(Home) is weird for me because even though it’s one of the best chapters of the story, I feel far more passionate for the next chapter. Though I suppose that’s only natural when this is clearly a glorified Part One to Ch.11(Closure)’s Part Two. And yes, that does mean this was another chapter split incident, as are the next four chapters.
As usual, this update is copied from my Patreon, where I post all my behind-the-scenes writing stuff and chapters for things that aren't ready for fimfiction yet.
Alternate titles: Pessimism, Paranoia — Didn’t choose either, preferring to name it, not after Silver’s problem, but rather the solution to it.
Before I begin discussing this chapter properly, I just wanna say I feel so bad for Silverstream. I put her through so much crap in this story, it’s not even funny. But that begs the question why Silver’s story-line became what it is. To answer that we must first discuss what this chapter could have been.
We’re in the final stretch now, and there’s no better way to begin bringing this story to a close than the event we’ve been hyping up since the very beginning: Gallus and Silverstream’s 2nd Date.
This has been a long time coming, and you better believe I relished every second I wrote this chapter, especially since I could finally write the lovebirds being actually happy!
It’s always funny looking at this chapter with that old “I won’t let these chapters exceed 20k words again” promise in mind.
While the first half of the Mount Aris arc was dedicated to Gallus-Stream finally having a break from all the plot-mandated drama so they could actually bask in their love and affection, this half returns us to the status quo to resolve the last of that drama.
And at long last, we’re here: The Gallus/Ocean Flow scene. And of course, it gets a whole chapter dedicated to it!
I feel it best to begin by reiterating how Ocean Flow’s beach-side tirade was the very first thing ever conceptualized regarding the Mount Aris arc, becoming fully realized thanks to Great White Prime’s suggestions.
I feel like I'm lagging behind on blog posts to keep you guys updated on updates (well, for those that actually read these). And I guess, to a shorter extent, on new and upcoming stories.
I'm pretty sure that's how many of you look by now:
But worry not. The new chapter is on the way.
