I'd make this blog better if my fingers weren't tired.

This is just to give you guys a few updates on my progress and life in general.
Work has been really tough lately, my contracted hours have been extended so I am in more often, though its still not quite full time work, although the amount of overtime I pull compenartes for that. This means there has been less time to work on the story than I would like, but I am making do.
I've just republished the first few chapters of The Sound of One Hoof Clopping, my ponified Zen koan collection.
Sooooo Yeah.
I quite messed up that last chapter didn't I?
Sometime between now and next update I'm going to rewrite it. The fundamental events won't change - but I'll expand on what did happen and I'm pretty sure I'll remove one of the two 'pointless' scenes.
It'll still be a while on the next chapter of Endless Horizon, unfortunately. I ended up reworking chapter 11 due to a few changes to Sky's character, and how situations in the chapter will be handled because of it. So I'm in the process of writing it again ((at least much of the original draft is still useable)) Then I'll still need to go through and edit it. Maybe even have someone proof it, though my friends who've been helping have gotten super busy with life stuff so we'll see what
If you want some lighthearted wackiness, I'd really suggest checking out the story below. It's the first full-length story that someone has written based on a story I wrote! The story that inspired this one is Scrambled Serenity which is why I've tagged it after so long. For folks who want to re-read Scrambled Serenity and its canonical sequel, I have revised and cleaned up both. You'll be able to get those in printed form one day. The fan-story is a multi-chapter, so be sure to
So, where we last left off with the revisions, I thought that initially, we wouldn't need to go further. The tone and attitude had shifted, and it felt much better. Unfortunately, something changed my mind....
As short as Chapter 4 for Endless Horizons turned out to me, I actually spent more time editing it then the first three that I've uploaded. I wanted to amp up the action a bit then the draft I had before, especially at the part near the end. Partly for the readers benefit, but primarily to show Aella seeing and reacting to the horror of the wasteland more.
I've just rewritten the first short story I ever posted on Fimfiction. I did this in part to show how far I've come as a writer over the past year. Here it is:
The Element of Surprise
Surprise!
Hello, everyone. Randome here.
The past month or so has been very busy, and I haven't really had the chance to do much. I've had many exams, and have been in a semi-depressive mood as of lately. And sleep deprived. But I've had multiple of you supporting me when I couldn't do it myself, and I thank you for that.

Hey there, everyone. Sorry about the sudden lapse in communication. I've just been... having a rough bit of time with real life stuff at the moment. It's been distracting me from FIMFiction so I haven't been able to get a lot done. Plus my own easily distracted mind has been getting in the way quite a bit as of late. So I cannot apologize enough for my lazy nature.
Neary through grammar fixes and revisions on the early chapters! So they're more readable, more detailed and well thought out, and just flow better I think! Just working on the last two chapters. Once those are done, it won't take me long to get chapter nine out as well. Very excited, and much happier with how it flows now than how it used to.
I'm having so much fun adding to the world that so many of you have worked to build together. I'm happy to be a part of this
I'm wondering, is there is anyone willing to contribute artwork to ME:C? Of course I'm not expecting you to work for free. If you, or someone you know, is willing then please DM me or you can reach my email at oceansama@gmail.com or Discord at username Oceansama#6016
We can discuss details there.
Almost done yet another revision of the first chapter of my fic. I've made things a bit easier to follow with some changes wording, added a few details to show more of my protagonists personality, ((by having the way she thinks and reacts to things have a more direct effect on a tense situation.)) I'm in the process of fixing what is the weakest and most lazily written part of it, due to poor pacing and not showing how Aella reacts very well
If it ain't clear already, I am a big fan of Undertale. Message me if ya want to hear me go all Alphys on it, Heh
For those wondering where I've been these last few days. Well, the answer is work, work, and more work. Did I mention work already?
When I began Twilight's Secret Journal, I had no idea it would be a novel-length undertaking. I also didn't know how to write very well.
Nopony ever pays attention to the cover...
Over the course of the year spent re-reading and revising my work, I've realized my work is pretty cringe. Now, it's not much of a shocker, there's plenty of crazy stories out there and mine happens to be them.
Now that I am back to writing in full swing, these reports about my revision of the first two chapters of "Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity", preceding the guaranteed continuation of it, will return, too!
I'm not wasting more time, have another progress report about the Great 2017 Revision of "Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity", below the picture!
