Summary: I have two more chapters done in Letters. Post them now or post them after I'm done with the arc in two more chapters or so? Upvote the comment that matches your opinion. Including a snippet just to let you know I'm not addicted to cliffhangers⁽*⁾. Oh, and I blame Estee for what happens to Green Grass. She's the one who came up with the idea of his special talent. It made me think. That's a bad sign.

Was asked in Trixie and Her Amazing Pet Changeling (really good work for 20k words) if I was working on a sequel. Again. Well, I don't write very fast in the first place and I'm trying to pare *down* my ongoing writing pile so I can do other things which include publishable fiction. But I'm not leaving ponies, so put down the inhaler.

Next to last chapter in Letters is done to the editing stage. I know some people may be a little behind on the story, so I thought I'd give you a peek at the peace and harmony that little Monster has brought to her new friends.

Viking ZX has a good writing blog on creating a credible villain today, which I urge all evil minions to read for pointers. Personally, I prefer the misunderstood powerhouse of Monster in the current chapter I'm working on (snippet below), as well as the generally villainless Farmer Bruener series (which a new chapter will be released tomorrow), but Letters does have Trixie

I plan on publishing the two full chapters of Knight and Dei - Pony Rides on Monday and Tuesday, and I can publish the next three chapters in Letters From a Little Princess Monster after that if people would like. The Arc is *not* done but writing is at such a slow pace that I might as well get the bits I have done out if wanted. Ninety-three chapters. Ouch. Sneak peek below the break, as well as

Still working on Letters, but since I had such a good response on How To Kill a Character I thought I’d show a tiny example of how to corrupt a character. And as a bonus, it brings Gilda into the Monsterverse. Um… She may not think it’s a bonus, though.

I'm publishing the most recent chapter of Farmer Bruener Has Some Ponies, and I've got a question for my readers: I have four more chapters in the latest arc of Letters From a Little Princess Monster done, right up to the busy parts of Monster's Third Task, but no further. (Slow writing) So I'm taking a vote to see if I

Remember two years ago when KatysCornerTX at DeviantArt did a wonderful representation of Green Grass and his hat? And Clover? I have an announcement on that, which comes at a strange time (see the title, and after the break). Well, I’m working on Letters From a Little Princess Monster, and I realize a character I’ve used over a few years really needed to die. Really. It’s quite a coincidence, so I’ll pass along advice after the break.

Going ahead and posting the four chapters I have of Letters in the queue one per day so you have something to read while bored. Since the last posting on this was a year and a half ago, it may behoove you to go back and re-read from Chapter 80 of Letters, but if you want, I’ll give you a quick run-down of the pertinent plot points below the break, and a snippet out of an uncompleted

I’ve got four chapters in the current arc of Letters From a Little Princess Monster done, which resolves one of the three Discord challenges, and gets a good start on the other two. I figure the whole arc will run eight chapters or more, so that leaves me with a question: Post now while everybody’s stranded at home, or wait until the whole arc is done (probably six months from now, darnit). Leave your opinions in the comments, and enjoy this snippet from the fifth unfinished chapter.

First, 2020 Clarion Applications close March 1 (Check Bad Horse's blog for details) Next, I made a post on gaming and politics on the Writers Group (seemed a bit quiet, hence the boost) And last, I'm making some progress on Letters From a Little Princess

As I write this, I’m getting ready to go see my son graduate from his Army chemical warfare training in beautiful Ft. Leonard Wood, a leisurely six hour drive from here, which we should be back from by July 4 in order to see Wamego’s fabulous fireworks (ranked #1 in Kansas). Just to let you know, Letters From a Little

Only three chapters, but it sets up the three sub-stories that Discord... well, you'll just have to see, won't you. Publishing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, where I reveal the migration patterns of the alicornus divinus, Trixie's new card trick, and Sunburst's new job.

I'm still working on the next arc in Letters From a Little Princess Monster, a sequel of the AU story The Monster in the Twilight (for those of you who don't know). This arc will be called 'Dominoes' because it is the triggering point for three storylines: The (re)Birth of the Crystal Empire, Our Town, and The Griffons,

Attention editors (and interested passers-by): The six-chapter arc for Letters From a Little Princess Monster, Three Day Test, is now past the drafting stage and to the normal stage where I would publish except I’m smarter now and will wait for my editors to point out all of the violations of natural law and abominations of grammar I’ve created. So if you’re an editor, you can jump to the link I sent you
