Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreetings everypony, and welcome back to Deconstruction is Magic, my Retrospective/Review/Analysis of every My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episode ever! Today's analysis may be shorter, as Boast Busters doesn't involve a ton of narrative depth. But without wasting any more time, let's get on with the analysis! I am the Mage of Mind, reminding you, as always, that even a cheeseburger can be deconstructed to its source.

Slaved away at this, but I've completed my re-edits of the first two chapters! Chapter 3 shouldn't take too long to re-edit, meaning that, with any luck, the fourth and final chapter will be out at the end of this month.

Good news everypony! Not only are you reading this in the voice of professor Fonsworth, and not only is the slime flowing again, but the first draft of Sacred and Wild Chapter 4 is done!

Finally, after months of distractions, writing and editing around college work, I have completed part 2/3 of "Sacred & Wild"! I wish I could guarantee that the next chapter won't take three months to complete, but alas, my creativity tends to be a bit sporadic. I have a few ideas for a new short story in the meantime, but I can at least assure my (admittedly tiny) audience that I know how to finish at least one of my longer stories!

Do any other authors ever get writers block from two or more conflicting ideas, to the point where you end up writing very little? I have at least two stories that I know how to complete, yet I have STILL started a new one because the idea really grabbed me!
