Wow...

I wasn't paying attention and only today realized that yesterday was the anniversary of Turmoil Rising's debut. Man... it's been a long time. And it will probably be some time longer now that I can only post a new chapter 1x or 2x a month, so it's expected, yet a bit disappointing that the discussions aren't as active as it was in the past. Even so, I'm happy that the dedicated few have stayed and kept tabs on my work. =)

Cheers!

Hello, dear readers.
You've noticed lately that story progression has greatly slowed down.
Most of that can be attributed to me having a regular job and coming back home, and having no motivation to do anything, not even going for a walk to clear my head to write, so the process has been rather sluggish.
But the new chapter should come out tomorrow, with extra length for all your trouble.

Thank you for your patience.

Hey everybody.
The next chapter was originally scheduled to be released this Friday, but unfortunately, due to the issues behind the convention preparations where I'll be promoting Tales of the Ashes, I'll have to postpone the release to the next week as I can't finish both things at the same time as I had hoped.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hey dear readers.

As you might have noticed the new chapter hasn't come up yet in 3 weeks so far.
That is mostly due to me having a falling out with the years-long editor on my main Tales of the Ashes series and I've been stuck in the blues ever since. That's why the progress has been so slow as I don't have the drive to force through things right now and this chapter has a lot of things to think through.
It should come out on Friday.

Thank you for your patience.

Sorry everybody.
What was supposed to be the ending of the "Anger arc" and the beginning of the halfway point of the series, is going to get delayed. It seems like this keeps being the standard lately where I think I'll be able to finish the next chapter in 2 weeks' time, but I just can't seem to make the deadline anymore. Especially now that I'm writing the script for Vol.2 of Tales of the Ashes.
So, the next chapter should come out by next Friday.
Thanks for your patience.

Hello dear readers.

I was planning to release the new chapter today, but unfortunately with all that's been happening lately, looking for an artist to take up the brunt of my work for Tales of the Ashes, writing the next Volume script, as well as just day job in general, slowed down my progress greatly. And even trying to force it through makes me feel like the writing is not up to quality.

Hey everybody.
You've noticed since the last blog post that I sort of lagged on the uploading front. Which is unfortunate, because if I had kept up with constant updates, we'd have already ended with the current arc and we'd have reached the official halfway point of the story.

Hey Everybody!
A friend of mine, who was responsible for doing the commission comic featuring a Zecora flashback from Turmoil Rising. Sadly, due to dissatisfaction with her previous work taking too long, she decided to not do comic commissions anymore, so I decided to settle for a single frame of the second flashback in Chapter 11.
Enjoy.

Hey everybody.
Originally I was gonna upload the story mid-week, but I decided to move it to weekend release as my previous chapter had really low traction.
Plus, I'm having a bit of a writer's block that needs untangling so a few extra days could help.

So, after several months, a friend of mine from Serbia completed a commission set for me by illustrating an excerpt from Turmoil Rising story, more specifically, the beginning of chapter 4.

Have a good read.

Hello everybody!

On the 4th of March, 1 year ago, due to my frustration with the MLP comic season 10 and things that were done in season 9, and things that were never addressed and explored, I decided to do it justice and started writing Turmoil Rising, after I've left this place in the early years of the show and I was still green behind the ears, so my 1st attempt at writing was anything but good.

Well, it's been 1 month since I returned back to this site after being gone for nearly 7 years.
The progress has been steady, I'm surprised my story had actually gained some traction, even if it is minimal.

Thanks, everybody who's joined in on this journey.
