Hello, everyone! As you’ve likely surmised from the title, here is yet another Blog Post concerning my current progress with the “Writing of…” for T.B.O.L.
Fimfiction’s moderators have since deemed "The Writing of The Bonds of Love" inadmissible due to it not being a traditional story. As such, they have denied it public viewing.
I am currently working on a solution that will allow you guys to access the roughly 200k+ words of content I've promised for over a year and half. I’m sorry for this entire debacle, and for inadvertently being forced to break my promised released date for this project.
Hello, everyone! As promised, I’m making a Blog Post to update you guys on my progress with the “Writing of…” for T.B.O.L. I’ve finished discussing Ch.7(Pride) and re-editing the original chapter as well. Next, I’ll be tackling the Smolder chapters, Ch.8(Tension) and Ch.9(Fear). Once I’m done discussing both of them, I’ll make another progress update informing you all of such.
Hello, everyone! Sooo… It’s been a few months since I finished The Bonds of Love, and I promised I’d discuss my writing process for the story just like I did with its predecessor, A Day for Family.
Good news: I’m still doing that. I don’t like going back on promises, and I want to finish this “Writing of…” thing before I properly focus on any next major project.
Hello, everyone, and yes, I am posting yet another update concerning the “Writing of…” Mercifully, I’ll keep this one brief.
So, January decided to take a leaf out of December’s book and pass by as if on fast forward. I thankfully still managed to accomplish my goal of finishing the discussion for Ch.11(Closure) by the end of the month. By which I mean, I finished literally on the last day of January. I mean? I’ll take it, but I hope 2022 starts slowing down soon…
*Alternate chapter titles: Respite, Recovery — Didn’t name it either because “Reprieve” sounded better at the time. In hindsight, I prefer Recovery instead.
Okay, folks, we're back with the next installment of this commentary, and for today's topic: Chapter Two(Reprieve)! …Oh boy.
To start I want to reemphasize that every chapter was supposed to be its own self-contained story wherein Gallus would spend time with and learn a life lesson from each of his friends.
Hello, everyone! I promised I would discuss my writing process for The Bonds of Love like I did with A Day for Family and at long last, here we are.
Originally, I intended to post this discussion as an additional chapter to the story itself, so everyone who read T.B.O.L. could immediately read about its writing process after finishing it, rather than having to hunt it down in my Blog.
EDIT(1/18/2023): This Post has since been proven invalid, please ignore this. It only remains public to preserve the comments on it.
At long last, The Writing of The Bonds of Love is complete. It's been over a year in the making, and one heck of a crazy ride getting here, but I promise it'll be more than worth the wait.
First chapter will be released this Wednesday(1/18). See ya then. 
Alrighty, everyone, I’m back with another progress update on “The Writing of The Bonds of Love.” But before I get into it, I want to talk about something else first.
I finally got around to seeing My Little Pony: A New Generation, and I plan on discussing/reviewing it in another Blog Post. For now, I’ll simply say that I thoroughly enjoyed it! 
Hitch is an absolute treasure, and the songs are all wonderful, especially the villain one.
Here we are. It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally reached the end, and what a wild ride it was getting to this point! With no time to waste, let’s bring this commentary to a close and discuss the grand finale of The Bonds of Love!
~ To the Future! ~
And we’re back with the second half of this chapter’s discussion, so let’s not waste any more time and get right into it!
~ The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same ~
If this section’s title didn’t already give it away, not much has changed at all in the lovely town of Ponyville.
Alright, everyone! I’m finally back with an update on the “Writing of…” situation. Long story short: I intend to provide it in two formats:
1) A Google Doc. Currently, the entire thing rests within a single Doc, and as such, is darn near 1,000 pages long.
And 2) Blog Posts. Every individual chapter’s discussion will be getting its own individual BP, and in the cases where said discussion ran too long to be in one, that particular discussion will be split into multiple BPs.
Alternate Title: Identity — I’ll explain why later.
Oh, this chapter… Ch.7(Pride) had the most radically alternate version of all the chapters after Ch.4(Optimism), thanks predominantly to it suffering the most from the personality issue getting axed. I’m not entirely satisfied with what I ultimately settled on, but I still think it’s a good chapter.
Let’s get into it!
~ The Aftermath of Burnout ~
After a solid two month hiatus with not a word beyond the occasional “Thank you” to those who awarded T.B.O.L. a Favorite, I have at long last returned! And as the title doth imply, I’ve come bearing good tidings!
Ch.15(Family, Part Two) has finally, finally been fully discussed. Yeah, crazy how long it took me, right? 
And there are two reasons as to why:
Alternate titles: Fear, Part One, Life — Didn’t go with the first one because I was still in “Name the chapter after its central theme” mode, and Ch.8(Tension) isn’t exactly about “fear” so much as the lingering awkwardness or dare I say…? Tension 
between Smolder, Gallus, and Silverstream.
Whelp, it's finally here! It has been over a year and a half in the making, but at long, long last... The Writing of The Bonds of Love is done!
Now as for when it’ll be released…?
Alright! Time for the second half of Serenity; let’s not waste any time and get right into it!
~ Eavesdrop at Your Own Peril ~
Continuing where we left off, we open on Gallus and Silverstream on their way to the restaurant, bouncing along in a bumpy but otherwise non-chaotic carriage ride, and—Wait, what do you mean that’s not how we start the chapter?
Alternate title: Normalcy — Went with “Normality” since it sounded better at the time. I lean more toward Normalcy presently, but it doesn’t matter since they’re synonyms.
Ah, Ch.5(Normality), you will always stand out for being the only chapter to actually follow the original character-specific chapter plan.
And that’s that. That’s the end.
It’s been quite the ride, hasn’t it? Over a year spent writing The Bonds of Love, and over a year and a half spent discussing the actual writing process.
I think I’ve said everything I had to say or even could say about my story, but well? Come on, you all know me enough by now to know I just can’t shut up even when I should.
Sooo…?
To summarize my overall opinions on every major aspect of The Bonds of Love…?
And here we are at last... The final third of the Epilogue's discussion, and thus, the final major installment of the Writing of The Bonds of Love.
No need to dawdle any further, I think. Let's get right into it!
~ Our Final Goodbyes ~
