This past November, I wrote My Little Pony fanfiction for the first time in over a year specifically for National Pony Writing Month where the goal is to write 50,000 words in just 30 days. I loved the idea of working on the Equestria Girls universe especially after watching those shorts that were released over the summer. Of course, since November is always such a frustrating month (and I've been doing original fiction for NaNoWriMo every November for a while) I got sick, had friends come to

It is officially November 1st where I am, and that means the start of NaNoWriMo - or more relevantly for me, NaPoWriMo. Admittedly I'm only setting my personal goal at 30K rather than 50K, but I'd rather set a smaller but more attainable goal that torture myself trying to get to 50K when my drive/muse/whatever isn't cooperating. Especially because I effectively only have 24 days to work with, as the

I’m doing NaPoWriMo again. I’m doing “The Ash of Fallen Stars” … again. I really thought I’d be done with it by now. Ugh, this has been one of the least productive years I’ve spent writing that I actually tried to spend writing.

Once again EqD has decided to RUIN OUR LIVES I mean, boost our creativity! ABagofVicodin is hosting the new National Pony Writing Month event at Equestria Daily! So, stretch out those paws/hands/tentacles/hooves and start typing!

Also, spread the word! The more the merrier, right?

Thank you everyone who participated in NaPoWriMo. I hope you had fun writing. We had 3 winners.

For advanced (50k+ words) we have Impossible Numbers
The Nightmare Stigma
Valuable Time, or Dolce Far Niente

Clicky here!.

Word Count: 3,300 Days: 4 Goal: 100k. Initial guess: Ain't going to make it, but will get good progress. Admittedly, there's a lot of background notes writing and name checking at the beginning, so...

See a snippet below the break if you want.

Irrespective's goals for National Pony Writing Month:

-Continue work on Pregnant Noses
-Continue work on Harem Noses (roughly 3k words for the next chapter as of this writing)
-Finish work on Who is Pinkie Pie? (I should have waited to fix the story up before publishing. )
-Start work on a NEW story! (About 1k words in on that. )
-Edit With Celestia as My Witness so it'll pass EqD prereaders.

It seems there are no groups specifically for this November writing challenge. Dare I start one? I'm not sure I need to go that far. Maybe just link it here like with Serendipity?

On an unrelated note, what do you suppose ponies call it when a unicorn uses telekinesis to move or operate something, rather than using a hoof or mouth? I imagine saying "telekinesis" all the time would lend itself to the Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla problem.

Equestria Daily is running a pony writing event called National Pony Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), which coincides with the better-known National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in November.

Hey gang! I just wanted to inform you guys that I will once again be participating in this year's National Pony Writing Month, and will be going back and forth between working on Case 3 and my NaPo entry. Expect to see some hiatus during NaPo, but I will still be working on Case 3 as much as I can during November. Hopefully, I'll have it done by the start of December at least.

Once again, thank you all for your patience and understanding, and I hope to see you all soon!

NaPoWriMo is going slow. Went back into HRMC to do a little editing, and thought I'd let people take a sneak peek. At best, it will be out in January, so don't get too hyped up.

What y'all wanna see from meh?

I have officially just won NaNoWriMo 2015 50,116 words of ponyfic in 30 days - a new record for me, by a long way. I'll do a proper blog post after I've enjoyed a gallon of tea and bucket of scones a brief respite to wind down. But yes, very pleased with this (and very exhausted!)

As much as I think I'm doomed with the attempt, I'm going to try doing Equestria Daily's National Pony Writing Month this year, although with a lower goal than recommended. If I hit my goal, I'll be happy. If I reach 50k, I'll be amazed. If I double my goal… my wife will take away my computer, most likely.

Here's what I'm sending in to Equestria Daily:

'Day twenty-two on the trail of the elusive November Novel. There aren't many of us left. Many have been drawn away by the haunting siren song of Fallout 4, or else have abandoned the trail as a fool's errand by now. They're probably the smart ones. Those of us that remain don't have much further to go though - we're on the home stretch. One more week and we'll finally reach the end of the road. Wherever that takes us.'

I’ll start with the plug links, because they’re easiest. I’d like to thank Paul Asaran for the review he did for The One Who Got Away and for all of the reviews he does on his blog. Go check them out.

Exam tomorrow, exam Friday...

If I can set the right amount of time aside, then I should be able to keep this up. I've been getting kicked around a bit by classes recently, so I haven't been able to write as much.

I am at 4,675 words to total out tonight, and hopefully I'll be able to get a nice 2k added to it tomorrow!
(I haven't been able to write much for NaNoWriMo so far :P )

So, naturally, as soon as I update my bio to say "I think I'm going to be more of a presence around here" I go and disappear for a good 5-6 months. Well done, me.

I do still plan on finishing Princess ♥ Princess - just a couple more chapters to bring a bit of closure to it.
