14,446 words. And I wrote it all in one week.

I'm not exactly sure what happened. I suppose it's just the knowledge of how close I am to wrapping up this second act and, thereafter, the home stretch to the finish. I ran the monster math, pulled the graveyard graph, and concluded that SH will end by Chapter 30 (plus an epilogue) at the latest. And knowing that, with the path set out before me, I guess I just really wanted to get started on it.

So, uh, yo, I just wrote 9800 words in three days, and if you don't see this chapter out this Friday then I'll kill every one of my editors and then myself.

Hey there buckos. First things first: Chapter 14 is all written, edited, and ready to go. It's a real doozy, coming in at only 5300 words but boy does it pack a punch. Comments from my editor m1nt include snippets such as "Oh my god" in a scene involving Rainbow and Gava, and "Good one" in a scene involving Applejack. There's a few things that come to a head here, including Twilight's corruption and the whole Gava thing altogether, and although I hadn't planned for this chapter to be a climax,

Dude, I'm so over this coronavirus stuff.

Chapter should be out soon, 15k words. I'll push it as soon as my editors give it the ol read-through!

And don't forget to wash your hands!

Oh, also, check out this super dope work-in-progress art of the Argo! Design not final! Thanks, Driver!

So here I am, another chapter drafted (9.7k words), having just sent it off to the editors after staying up through all the night and all the dawn, with your "regular" heads-up announcement that I hope to have it out on Friday.

Hey guys! What's up? I'll tell you.

Hey there, buckos. I just finished the Chapter 17 draft, clocking in at a hefty 10,730 words. I really have no excuse as to why it's been so long since I updated. I mean, two months, what? It's not like I was particularly out of ideas or even very busy. I just kinda closed the draft one day and didn't think about it for a bit. Sorry about that. Good news is that my co-author has already reviewed all but the last 500 words and Mint is halfway through, so I might even update today! Woohoo!

Hey there, lads and lasses! Golden here. I'm sitting here with my Ch. 15 draft open, working my way through some drama in the aftermath of the last chapter's events, and I was thinking of trying out a Livewrite.

When a show comes back from hiatus and starts up the next batch of episodes, you need to make sure you've got something good to lure audiences back and prevent a drop off. For this show, much as the mid season finale has become an important (and sadly underutilized) tradition in recent years, so too has the mid season premiere. We've got 7 to consider.

Happy Thanksgiving, turkeys. I'm not here for any sappy nonsense about what I'm thankful for or what you're thankful for. This is a realm of ponies, and I am here to pony. So if you're gonna be thankful for anything this midnight-after-Thanksgiving on a small horse fantasy enthusiast website, then be thankful that I just finished the draft for Chapter 22.

Hey, dudes. Golden here! I would understand if you didn't recognize me; it's been a little while since I've posted a blog. But with Chapter Three of Sunken Horizons due to publish tomorrow at 7500 words, I figured it was time to get back into the groove!

With the exception of Season 3 (which was a half season) every season has run on for 26 episodes that can be said to be divided into two halves of 13 episodes a piece. At the least since Season 5 it's become a trend to split the season into those halves, and that means the first half is a finale unto itself, a finale that has to tide fans over while the hiatus is ongoing. But we'll also be considering those midway points from seasons that didn't need to break up the run time so heavily (and

Hey, little flowers! Golly, has it been three weeks already? Heh, time really flies when you're having fun!

Good tidings, citizens! I come here bringing news good and also interesting, and none of it bad. Starting off with business as usual, Chapter 23 is coming along nicely. Now that I think of it, don't I say that every time? I've only got 2200 words so far, but it comes out real smooth when I'm not busy with work or other stuff. One of my editors keeps pestering me to write more every time I stop because it's apparently super epic and he's real invested and he wants to know what comes next! So you

Hi-ho, schmuckos. Your friendly neighborhood Goldenwing here with another blog post. Draft is coming along nicely. I've been writing everyday with the aid of The Empty Horizons Discord. I like to just pop into voice comms, call up my music bot, and put some tunes on in a public place every day while I write. People join and add their own songs to the queue and we chat and have a good time. You're missing out, really. Anyone who tells you otherwise is fake

Hey guys! So I've finally finished Chapter 10 on Empty Horizons. I've got the draft out, editors have reviewed and approved it, and it's sitting at a toasty 9,112 words by FimFic's count. Which is kind of weird because Gdocs had it at 8,886. But hey, we'll see, right? I've already picked out the Author's Note Song and all I have to do is hit a button at 6 PM EST tomorrow and it'll be up and available for reading! In the words of my editor

Hey, all! Progress on the fourth chapter is coming along smoothly, and I do foresee it being released this Friday all according to schedule like. I'm already a thousand words in, and it'll probably be a bit of a shorter one, more focused on Twilight's side of the story. But that's not what I'm here to talk about today!

Hello, everyone! So Chapter VII just got released, and I do apologize for the delay on it. I try to release once a week, but with Ch.VII I once again found myself wrestling with a challenging scene. Minor spoiler explaining that for those who haven't read yet!

Hey, boyos! For those with people to be and places to do, the quick in-and-out is that I'm nearly done with the Chapter 16 draft, and you can expect an update within the week.

As for those of you that actually read these, now for the details!

Hello, all! You may have noticed that the new chapter is out, and boy was that ending a doozy. Really snuck up on me. I was writing and then one thing just led to another and I was like "wow, that just happened."
