On my last blog post, I mentioned the great parts of OtIoPW's outline that got missed, and talked of rewriting the story in place. I've been very reluctant to do that, even though the response on that post was generally affirmative, because I would be transferring some 55 chapters to "Side Stories of Crazy" to be stored out-of-the-way. That's nearly 85% of the written material- and the comments would not go with it!

So I've been doing a lot of rereading lately. On the Implications of Parallel Worlds, The Boy who Disappeared, even The Gate. Just today, I reread the outline I wrote for OtIoPW... and realized that there were several great plot points noted inside of it that were skipped by the fact that I didn't use the outline. Had I used that outline, and stuck to it, I'd be publishing chapter sixty or seventy today (well, yesterday now, since it's just past midnight), rather

As many of you probably noticed, On the Implications of Parallel Worlds missed a scheduled update yesterday. Sorry I forgot to make this blog post then instead of today- I got sidetracked. It happens infuriatingly often.

Hello everypony.

Did you know, when I announced the accelerated schedule for On the Implications of Parallel Worlds three days ago, I didn't tell anyone, but it was actually contingent on something happening?

The thing is, on May 20th, I finished Chap. 25, and one of my editors commented on the length of the backlog, suggested an accelerated schedule. I promised to go on a temporary accelerated schedule when I hit Chap. 30.

So, as you may know, On the Implications of Parallel Worlds has 12 chapters published on here.

I just finished writing chapter 26 last night.

... Yeah. It'll be going live to my patrons, alongside chapters as far back as 19, later today.

But that still gives me a 14 chapter- or 3 1/2 month- backlog... and I live on the feedback you give me, as little as it is.

A question that just came up in my writing: How long are each of the passenger coaches used on the Hogwarts Express, and how many do they carry?

Oh yes: Spoiler alert for a paragraph or two of an asofyet unwritten chapter of On the Implications of Parallel Worlds.

Yeah, I'll admit, I'm having too much fun with the 'On the Implications of ___' title. But so?

I have a question for you fair folks today. You see, I've been working on On the Implications of Parallel Worlds, and I've reached a certain point where I'd like to have a set of three words. They're not crucial, but I'd like to have them.

So I was writing OtIoPW... and I encountered a small problem: For the tone of the story to hold, I need to write the wand purchase scene... from Ollivander's perspective. And for that, I needed to have an appreciation for just how much strain thirteen thousand students would put on his shop.

So I estimated...

As many of you have noticed, I missed the regularly scheduled publication of On the Implications of Parallel Worlds last week. I apologize for this; it was a combination of writer's block, and my Internet also died a few times, apparently because of a brush fire.

Yeah, it's up. Finally. The Gate has been rewritten.

And I realized something new today... I usually do, whenever I contemplate suicide.

That is, I died long ago. Years, as a matter of fact.

Nowadays... I don't live for enjoyment. I don't live for myself.
