Only took three months. Two of those were deciding if it was even worth it. And then suddenly I wrote 3,500 words in a night. I mean that literally by the way, it took a whole night. It's almost 7 am and I didn't sleep because I was doing the thing, just now. Should I have done that? Probably not. Am I happy I did that?

... yeah. Yeah, I think so. Right now, anyway. Hope you are, too.

More to come, hopefully?

So it's been about a month since my last blog and my last WLW update. Since then, I have looked at the latest chapter that I'm only partially through... maybe once?

I had to split that ~5.5k chapter into separate chapters otherwise I was going to absolutely lose my mind. There was so much there but there needed to be so much more and I really didn't want to be stuck on it forever, which was how it was looking... less than a week ago? Basically; they look like this now:

All right; I know -- I'm nearly back on my "let's not do anything for half a year!" grind and that's entirely my bad. I really am trying!

See, look here:

Hi, everyone! Requiem here. Been a while. Again. My bad.

I've been distracted from writing on here lately. Haven't really made a whole lot of progress on anything (What Lies Within or other ((possibly going to be scrapped)) projects) lately. College work/classes and other real life things have been my main focus for some time, as they're... well, to be blunt: more important. I know, shocking.

But!

I'll see you all again with actual content in about... uh, June? July?? Just based on my current pace, I mean.

Later!

I don't mean to imply that my titles were ever that creative, only that I just have no idea what to call this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All right; all done with finals -- which means I can get back to focusing on other stuff! Of course, that includes What Lies Within. I've already made some progress on the next chapter and I have some stuff planned out (though it's probably going to change; it always does) so I can just focus on actually putting (figurative) pen to (figurative) paper!

So it turns out you can only use one copy of Shade Brigandine per turn. Must have missed that last line while I was reading it... all those hundreds of times. Whoops. The first bit of What Lies Within is now a bit different than it was before to account for this oversight, but it changes almost nothing as a whole.

Just wanted to toss a quick blurb on here saying that I'm going on a little break from FiMFiction (I know I just got here, but still!) until I finish up with school. I've always been bad with multitasking and juggling multiple sets of responsibilities, so I'll wait until I'm ready to put as much effort into What Lies Within as I think it deserves. Until then!

Yes; it's as the title says -- there was no update for What Lies Within in the last week. The latest part's in the making, of course, but school's running me ragged now that I'm down to the last two weeks of the semester and my writing motivation has been directed at my English class since I get graded for those works and not the ones (er, one) I do here.

I'll get back to work soon, but please be patient with me until then.

The way my outline for What Lies Within has been going there won't be another major Duel for a while. Also the chapters keep being really long for my standards; aside from "In the Dark" but that's more of a tension-builder than anything else. Did it work as one of those? I sure hope so. I did my best. Next up as of now is... some more talking; while I work my way up to the rest of the plot stuff I have planned.

Hi, everyone! Rebellious_Requiem here! I'll have to come up with a catchy nickname at some point so I don't have to type that out every time. Anyway; I just published the second part of What Lies Within which concludes the Duel between Onyx and Buster and actually inches closer to the main plot of the story. I made this FiMFic account for the express purpose of posting that one story after being inspired to start on it, so I'm not sure exactly how active I'll be in the ideal world where
