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.

First off, the next chapter's coming along despite my life's usual attempts at stalling it. I'm guessing either the 17th or the 20th for the update. As another reminder, it's going to be darker and heavier-handed compared to the previous chapter (something that I never thought I'd say about one of my stories), to the point that I'm going to be adding another red tag. Consider yourself warned.

This latest batch of music is for First Quarter and their agents. A few of them you've probably heard reading the chapters associated with them (with the exception of Metallium's), and the rest will likely be gotten to when the time comes.

I think Bushwhacker was the hardest to find music for, but in the end I feel that one down there suits him best.

Part of my slowness in writing M.L.G.'s latest chapter is for the usual reasons: tiredness, minor depression, having other things on the mind, that sort of thing. However, in what can only be described as "whimsy", I've recently decided to complete a list of all of the intentional shout-outs and references in the story as of the most recent chapter.

Don't ask me why. I couldn't explain it if I tried.

Mostly going to be an unfinished WIP so ill just stick it here in case it stagnates

Some of you might remember the Sunata story I wrote for the sunset shimmer shipping contest that happened not too long ago. For a rush job, the story was alright, but not great. There are plenty of ways I could improve it.

What I'm wondering is, should I? Should I take the time to fix it, or does it not matter? Will anybody read the fixed version? Please let me know one way or another.

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?

First, some mood music:

I'm feeling somewhat better after Friday and I've had this brewing in my mind today, so below is a few of the questions I've been asked regarding Manehattan's Lone Guardian since I began two years ago. Some are frequently, others not so much, but either way I think they still have relevancy.

This may be updated as time goes on. We'll see.

Writing can get a little bit annoying sometimes when you make up new characters on the fly. Or in this case, on the snake.

The next chapter's currently in progress, but one of the reasons for its delay---aside from the usual excuses of work, tiredness, and gaming---is that I'm having difficulty writing a scene with a one-chapter character in it. In an earlier chapter Leviathan detected a sea monster down in the ocean depths, and I was going to have the two of them cross paths.

So I've been working on the latest chapter of M.L.G. recently, and along the way I've been thinking to myself: what songs, heard in-story or otherwise, would fit the characters the best for the sake of their appearances?

What luck... so Foal Fable was passed. I really didn't know if I was going to make it lul. So you know what that means... sit your plot down and read it! Lul ... on a side note. My followers list is quite lonely, ish all empty. Oh well. Adios amigos.

I've lost my friends. Now what...

I...I...

I don't know what...

I don't know what to say...what to do... What to feel

I... I just don't know

So... let me begin with saying that I'm not dead. To those of you who still wish for me to write and update stories, I say thank you for still following me. Now, I have good and bad news.

Good news: I finally have found the motivation, energy and most importantly time to take up writing again!

...and mine's full of de-Lays.

Let's see... slight increase in work at the office? Check. "SimCity 2000" being as attention grabbing as ever? Check. General tiredness? Check. Tax season? Check. Favorite YouTubers and Twitch streamers playing stuff like Pizza Tower, Hi-Fi Rush, Luck Be a Landlord, etc.? Check. Needing to spend time with the family (and the family's cats)? Triple-check.

But all things considered... yeah, I'm good to go to work on another chapter. Back in business.

The good news is that there's a real chance that I'll be able to post the latest chapter of M.L.G. sometime tomorrow. I'm having a lot more fun writing this chapter than I did Glintlock's (partially because a certain gold-digging ditz is making her return), so I'm typing it out at a pretty good clip. The bad news is that work's probably going to get in the way tomorrow, so if it doesn't get posted on Friday, it's going to have to wait a day or two.

I copied the latest chapter of M.L.G. to my flash drive as usual. I took it home with the intent to post it today. I double-click the file.

Some background music. You're going to need it: we're going to be here a while.

To find out who I imagine some of the OCs (and Leviathan in English) to sound like, the story's Trivia page at TV Tropes here has a list of them under "Hypothetical Casting".

Been a while since I started the process, but I'm almost done mirroring M.L.G. over at Archive Of Our Own. I've gotten as far as "Shine Aqua Illusion", and I expect to have it fully posted within the next 3-4 days. So if by some chance you want to read it over there instead of here, feel free.
