Hey, everyone. I felt I owed you all an explanation for why it's now two weeks past the last scheduled update for Primrose War.

So, I've had a bit of a personal upheaval. I'm moving forward with building a house, not immediately, but there's been a lot of talking with friends and family about what it'll mean going forward. So that's one thing.

I'm also getting into better shape, and that's great and another thing.

Hello everyone. I wanted to apologize for the lengthy, unexpected hiatus of The Primrose War. It was definitely unplanned, and this time I haven't been writing. Work, leading up to the holidays, has been more stressful than usual with the rush to get things done before I take my two week end-of-year vacation.

Hello everyone! I apologize, but the next chapter of Primrose War will be delayed by a bit. Between work and a few novel releases that I've been looking forward to, I haven't made as much progress as I wanted to on the next chapter. I do have a solid outline, though, for the rest of the book as well as part of the next, so I haven't been idle.

Good afternoon, morning, or whatever time it is for all of you lovely people.

First of all, we're coming back on August 27th, one week from today. Hooray!

Good evening everyone!

Four days late, I know, but I've managed an entire year of posting weekly without slipping up and missing a week. The day of posting has changed a little over time, but good grief.

Today, the story that Carapace has been writing in tandem with me has been published. We've been brainstorming for two years for both of our stories, and while we've each written our own stories, I think it's safe to say that these stories are a joint project.

Now, this was a bit of a surprise to me. I found out that my editor and long-time friend, Minds Eye had been working on this while I was still writing new material and editing old material.

Last week, I published the second to last of my buffer for The Primrose War. Oh boy did that ever set a fire under my ass to get moving and finishing the plans I'd had. Three whole new chapters in the last week (Hooray for holidays!) and after that, I return to what I had prewritten for my second draft (before I realized that I had a ton of stuff left out).

So... this was kind of sudden for me, too. I mean, it's not like I don't spend hours every day thinking about The Primrose War or anything, but... why not a new endeavor.

BTW, I love Inkarnate.

This was the result.

Wow, it's been a ride. Can you believe it's been four months and a few days since the first publishing of Chapter 1 of The Primrose War.

Book one is done. From their antagonistic beginnings, I've been happy to have my readers along for the ride of watching Rosewater and Collar as they navigate the tricky pathways of politics and intrigue in the cities of Damme and Merrie.

Good afternoon everyone! _{If you're in CST or eastwards}

So, as some of you may have already noticed, The Primrose War now has "Book 1" in front of each chapter currently, and that will be changing soon with upcoming chapters to "Book 2". In fact, we're only a few chapters away from the transition.

The book titles are:

1. The Primrose War
2. The Primrose Gala
3. The Primrose Rebellion
4. The Primrose Promise

As I was pondering the preponderance of saddlebags in the story, and having come up with the idea some time ago that everypony usually wore some small bag about their person to carry the rudiments of daily life that we would tuck away in pocket or purse(which, if you think about it, is a pocket you can take off at will.)

First, an announcement. I'm going to be moving the updates for Primrose War to Saturday. This is mostly for my sake, but it also means the update comes out tomorrow instead of Tuesday. It makes my work week mornings a little less hectic trying to remember everything I need to do.

First, the gallery, if actually having them here doesn't work. I'm not sure if imgur hosting works right.

So... I dusted off my Evernote login and started poking around.

A long time ago, in a chat program far far away (Skype), I was describing a play-through of Game Dev Tycoon using pony-themed names.

One of the games I made in that platform was "Pantymare". Much fun was had making jokes about it. Someone even dared me to write a story about it.

Five years later...

It has been brought to my attention that posting, daily, 5-8k chapters is not exactly normal and not exactly something that people can keep up with daily for reading.

Also, it's putting a lot of stress on me to finish editing things that I put off earlier. I have a ways to go and a few big chapters to clean up before I get to chapters that I've already had through two and three passes of editing.

Bottom line there is that I don't want to burn out.

Okay, so... I've been doing a lot of rebuilding my confidence in my writing for the past couple of months. Sharing out more of my words just between friends and trying to get back that verve that I used to have for writing.
