Tagged The Blind Sun due to most readers of the series being more familiar with that than Dirtmouth Manor Misadventures.

Long story short, Had a couple of ignorant folks and possibly a troll be insensitive pricks when I posted a meme over on reddit (that Demiromantic Grimm one), got upset over it for a couple of days and I've bounced back from it and trying to work on Dirtmouth Manor Misadventures.

Got the first chapter done. I'll publish when I wake up tomorrow, because it's late and I spent most of the night getting it done.

Here's a very brief snippet. This is the most I could show without spoiling anything.

Woo!

Now to start planning for the next fic. I'm going to take a few days to brainstorm and chill out (And hopefully do another Doki Doki Literature Club Plus Stream over on YouTube) and I already have some plans...

• A more in depth look at aromanticism and asexuality through the lens of character interactions (Ace Cadance and Aroace Ghost)
• Introducing Quirrel and Hornet to Hearth.

I'm about halfway through the chapter (I think, it could go on for longer than I planned depending on how I word things), so I'm glad I'm making headway.

Might be a bit before I can finish it. Mum and I got our first shot of the covid vaccine, so I'm achy and I've had a headache all day. Thankfully the muse is staying strong so I have plenty of material to work with, I just don't have the energy to write it all down.

So, I'm working on chapter five of The Blind Sun, working out a shift in conversation between Troupe Master Grimm and Princess Cadance. How to explain what Princess Cadance has been up to... And in the process my brain does as follows.

"So, Cadance is the Princess of All Forms of Love/Higher being of Empathy and bonds. But sexual attraction, passion and lust 'n shit are Grimm's ballpark lol."

Woke up not long ago, checked my emails, and over on AO3, someone commented on The Blind Sun saying they did a sketch of Hearth.

I am just beyond thrilled right now. Fanart has always been this thing that makes a fanfic seem big, or a sign of quality, or something that happens to other, better writers than myself. And I've been writing for years.

This is amazing.

I'm (slowly) getting the energy to write again and decided to share a snippet of the next chapter of The Blind Sun. As of writing this blog. the chapter is nearly at two thousand words and only the first scene is done. Still got two, maybe three scenes to do, depending on if I get any other ideas for this chapter.

This is a rough estimate of how much I've gotten done for chapter 3 of The Blind Sun, but I have the first major scene done, just two or three more to go. Writing is slow going due to not having the energy half the time, and me being me and basically worrying if my shit is any good, No seriously, I do generally get into a mindset where writing is a chore because I worry if what I do put out is an improvement or good overall.

Had a bit of writer's block with The Blind Sun, got a plan though, I just need to muster up the energy to write it. Been dealing with a lot of headaches and trouble sleeping recently, haven't had the brain for writing. But I'm hoping to try and get something done soon.

Try is the key word, bit of a tossup on how I feel when I get up every morning.

Here's the final design for Hearth's new Mothling form, which will be introduced in chapter 3 of The Blind Sun. Not much of a spoiler given this is how she'll look from that point on.

This just a brief snippet to show that, yes, I am working on this fic. Progress is slow, but I'm getting there.

Canterlot was a city of ivory towers that reached to the heavens, gold plated spires gleaming in the midday sun. From her place bundled up in Grimm’s arms, Hearth looked up at the maze of walkways that connected one tower to another.
