Dated Futurama references aside, I've rewritten everything in Alicornae that I lost in my iOS 11 whoopsie and then some. I actually like what I've written here better than the first draft since it feels like a more natural reaction to what Starlit went through last chapter than what I had initially, plus I'm doing the first real deep dive into her past for this chapter and doing the reveal of her 'issue' with thestrals. Here's hoping y'all like it as much as I do, and thanks again

So, just to alleviate any worries about my scheduling ability (or lack thereof), I though I'd let y'all know that I now have the endgame for Alicornae Part II plotted out. The idea came to me in one of my many writing fugue states that I go into at around 4 in the morning, and it's a good one! The way I typically write is "by the seat of my pants", making up details and certain plot and characterization points as I go along for what sounds good and only having the basic skeleton of a

Howdy y'all, long time no talk to! So, good news is that college is over until the fall (got all B's, in case you were curious), and that means I'm back on my writing, starting with a quick update to Ch. 7's description of the thestral corpse. I changed a few descriptors to make it fit with some scene work I'm doing for Ch. 8, so enjoy that.

So, sorry for dropping off the radar, but a confluence of my friends from Canada eating up my time and creative energy for two weeks followed by the commencement of my college classes has caused some considerable delay in the next chapter. I plan on finishing Alicornae by next November, or be on the way to finishing it by then, so I can focus on my original works for NaNoWriMo, so once I get into a better flow with college I'll get back to writing.

So, it's been… a while. And this year hasn't been… great. So I think we could all be forgiven for a lack of communication given these trying times of crisis and universal brouhaha that we find ourselves neck deep in.

So, since we're about to hit the end of Part II for Alicornae, and since November is coming up, what better time than now to throw my proverbial hat into the NaPoWriMo ring for 2017? This'll be my first NaNoWriMo/NaPoWriMo participation, and I'm gonna use the event to spur me forward on Part III of Alicornae. My goal is either 50k words or the completion of Part III by the end of November. It's lofty given how long Part II took me, but I've been on a tear as of late so why not give this a

So, I just downloaded iOS 11 and with that came a few updates to my Pages App, which is what I write all of my stuff on. In the process of downloading these updates, however, I lost all of my works that weren’t backed up into iCloud, which included all of my work on Chapter 10 of Alicornae. This, naturally, is going to delay the release of the next chapter, and I beg your apologies for this critical goof.
