Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything, hasn't it? I'd like to apologize for that. I have an explanation down below (spoiler! It involves depression) underneath the really cool Sunflower art that I forgot to post about back in... God, was it October? It was, wasn't it? Sigh...

I also wanted to say, if you've sent me something (via PM or email or whatever) and I haven't replied, please feel free to send it again. I probably lost track of it.

New chapter of Project Sunflower: Harmony is up!
I've got two chapters of Life in Equestria coming, too, though I think I may have to wait to publish those until tomorrow. I need to re-work part of one of those chapters. This will wrap up the Humans in Ponyville arc.

Hey, all.

I apologize for my lack of updates, and also for the lack of responses to private messages and so on. It's been a really long time since I updated much of anything, other than a couple of Hoopy's Notebook chapters, so I feel I owe you all an explanation. At least, I owe an explanation for everyone following Sunflower: Harmony.

Hello, everyone!

I'm pleased to say that chapter 21 of Harmony is now live. I'd like to thank all of you for your patience as I worked through some things, and I'd also like to thank Razalon the Lizardman for joining the editing crew as of this chapter.

Things are really ramping up right now in the story. I can only hope that the reveal of how all these things fits together is as epic as I hoped it would be

Hey, everyone!

Here's some super-nifty Sunflower art, featuring both human and pony Erin!

Good day, everyone!

First things first, I wanted to thank you all for your support during my last, somewhat whiny blog post. I really appreciate the kind words and encouragement!

Work is still work, though my management agreed to greatly reduce my overtime. I took a couple of weeks to clear my head and try to reduce my stress after that. Now I've gotten myself back onto a writing schedule, which feels great!

Whew, that took a while. Sorry about that!

Anyway, the new chapter of Harmony is up.

Hello to one and all!

Well, I admittedly fumbled my one-a-week goal for releasing something. Had some things crop up that kept me away from writing, and I wasn't too happy with that. Still, I'm hoping to make it up to you all somewhat by releasing both a chapter for Harmony and Life in Equestria.

Hello, everyone!

Well, it's been a long time coming, but I believe I finally have enough time cleared to get back onto a regular writing schedule. Work has stopped being so demanding, my brother is due out of the hospital soon, and things are generally looking up! Getting back into a regular writing routine has been difficult, but I'm hoping to get around that by imposing arbitrary deadlines on myself.

How could that possibly go wrong?

Hi, everyone!

I've got a new chapter of Project Sunflower: Harmony up. I was struggling with this one for a while, honestly. It feels a little bit like an info dump, largely a part of my changing gears and trying to pick up the pace on this story. Ah, well. A little roughness now means I'll be getting back on track all the sooner, right?

In any case, the stage is now set for the dominoes to start falling.

Hi there, everyone!

Something that I've noticed is that, when you're really busy, it's incredibly easy to let the days just slip on by. As strange as it may seem, it wasn't until I got a couple of messages asking if I was still alive that I realized I haven't put much out there, recently.

When people have to poke you to make sure you're not a corpse, that's a pretty clear indication that maybe, just maybe, you should do something to let folks know you're still alive.

Greetings, one and all!

I'm huddled up here at my desk, my Doctor Who blanket keeping me warm while I put the finishing touches on both chapters 15 and 16 of Project Sunflower: Harmony. I've also just submitted a new story, For want of a book, which should hopefully be popping up soon.

Greetings, one and all! I hope are all having a wonderful New Year's Eve!

I just published the latest chapter of Project Sunflower: Harmony, and the final one for the year of 2014. This one has some of the things I've been excited to get to for a while! No spoilers, but I'm giddy with anticipation in regards to what people will be saying in the comments.

Howdy, everyone!

Whew... This one stumped me for a long time. I went through a couple of revisions before I even sent it to my editors, and then a few more before I finally felt ready to publish it. It's still fairly "fluffy" (meaning, not a lot of action), but I think it's got some things most of you will enjoy in it.

Well, at least I really hope so

Whoo, it's been a while! Also, sorry about the late-at-night update. I finally felt like chapter 12 was ready tonight, and I didn't want to make you all wait any longer than you already have.

It may not seem like it, but my writing pace has actually picked up quite a bit. I've got a few things cooking right now:
-Project Sunflower: Harmony chapter 13 is in editing, and it's HUGE. It also needs some major tweaking, so that will take me a while.

I give greetings to everyone.
And though "Talk like Zecora day" is very fun
I'm afraid this blog post will be too long

Good afternoon! I hope your day has been at least as good as mine so far

I just published chapter 9 of Project Sunflower: Harmony. We're finally getting to the end of "Erin settles in", which is good, because I have a whole ton of exciting stuff I want to get to! Seriously, I'm sitting here, giggling and rubbing my hands together like a mad scientist in a bad sci-fi movie.

Getting back into the swing of things, huzzah!

New chapter is up, interesting things are beginning to happen, and Erin is nearly settled into her life in Ponyville.

One of my editors, Coandco, forwarded this to me, regarding Pinkie Pie getting a tablet:

Wrapping up the tablet-giving-away stuff this time. The tablets will still play a role in the story, though I'm not going to focus quite so much on them for now.

Hope you all enjoy!

Hi, all!
