Just a...few more...words...

I'm up to chapter 10 as far as the editing process goes. Added in some extra backstory and whatnot. Noticed there were some poorly described parts of the castle. That's what I get for not being thorough.

Chapters 11 through 13 done today, whew! Looking good so far! Not as many mistakes so it's kinda fun to see how my writing slowly evolved.

Two days ago, at 5:53am, I finished my final chapter. There's four in total and I'll be posting them all over the course of 4 days, one per day. Let me tell you, it's been a ride. I've had so many ups and downs, disgustingly inappropriate reviews, amazing fans and I learned a lot about myself. I used KOTD to vent when I couldn't afford a therapist and those chapters were some of my best. Are there things I'd change about the novel? Yeah but I'm saving those for when I publish it which means

I think I might actually get this chapter out within the next week or so. Shit has kind of stopped for now and I can feel myself wanting to write it again. If crap hits the fan again soon, I'll just post up the first half as it's own chapter and post the second half when I finish it since the entire chapter is longer than normal. Thanks for being patient!

When I said later next week, I meant tomorrow night after my prereaders get done with it.

I had some last minute ideas I wanted to toss in and I decided to go with quality instead of just pumping out chapters. I know my schedule has been erratic, but my personal life has been in the meat grinder. I'll spare you the details lol. It's mostly done, but there's a few more things I couldn't resist adding.

There wasn't much to edit. I just wanted to add a bit more. I guess it's done for now but I think I'm going to extend celestias dialogue instead of just glossing over it. I've spent the last few days thinking of what I wanted to add to this given it's length.

1 year ago to the day, I started off a massive quest. I wanted to write this huge idea for a story. So it's officially my one year anniversary for my novel.
So I'm sitting here, looking over my last bit of story line and realizing I have about 50k words left before I finish my first novel (It's at 117k right now). It's my largest story by far and I'm rather proud of myself since it hasn't been until this last year that I sat down and finished something I started writing. This is so weird

I know this chapter is kinda short, I ended up breaking it into two chapters. Should have 31 out in the next week or so since it's mostly done.

I did it I did it! Finished chapter 1 rewrite! Never again! I'm so sick of that damn chapter! I've rewritten it like...four times now? That's not including edit overhauls. Broke it into two parts because chapter 1 being 10,400 words is...uninviting. Ugh. I'm never touching it again. For the most part, I had way too many sentences that started with "I" like "I did this" or "I did that" so I reworded them as much as possible. There were also sentences that were unclear, or seemed...out of place.

Kinda put off the next chapter. I had an old family friend take his life and I've been trying to be there for some of his family. Also my financial situation kinda got steamrolled. So with all the stress, I just haven't really sat down to finish the next chapter. Wanted to drop a line and apologize real quick.

As I walk into the room, I see Luna with an elegant, light scarf, painted all shades of purple. The moon’s phases are depicted on it in black, from waning up to a full moon.
Celestia wears a shawl around her neck of a light rainbow, matching her equally radiant hair.
Princess Cadence wears a similar sized shawl but white, with yellow trimming.

After a decently eye-opening review, I'm going to be posting up one more chapter of KOTD, hen giving book one the last overhaul. There's a lot of tense issues and typos that microsoft word and myself didn't catch, as well as chapters that just...need more. I've been putting it off because reading all 142k words and editing them is exhausting. I may post up a random chapter or so while I'm doing this, but I don't plan to. Basically the deal is, when I first started writing, I had a "One chapter

I've been adding bits and pieces to the newest chapter. Sorry, had a rough few weeks. Insomnia flared up for three consecutive which completely annihilated my schedule of crap I needed to do.

So chapter 30 has ended up being so long, I'm going to break it up into two chapters. I'll post chapter 30 in a few days, then wait a week before posting chapter 31 when it's ready.

I know I need to be working on the last half of chapter 32 but I took a small break and finally fixed a small issue that has been bugging me: the short description. So far, here are the two top contenders and I'd like to ask everyone who's familiar with the story to give me their feedback WITHOUT SPOILERS PLEASE. Those of you unfamiliar with the story, please tell me which one would make you the most likely to check out the story. I may combine them when finished.

Son of a bitch, this chapter is on the edge of being done but so help me God crap keeps popping up. Like last three days I have slept like crap. Just can't think straight long enough to finish off the chapter.

I've been dividing my time between sprucing up previous chapters and writing the next one. It's going well so far, but man getting my brain to focus is hard. Also I keep getting ideas for scenes for future chapters. My gdoc of the story looks as disorganized as my room.

Initially I was just going to put the second part of what was supposed to be chapter 30, but I gotta be honest it's probably going to be another two chapters. So expected chapters 31 and 32 sooner than usual.
