Im starting a Discord server. · 9:13am March 20th

Hey guys. I'm starting a Discord server to connect with you guys better and chat with all of you. I'll also be able to onboard any suggestions you guys might have and run ideas past you. You will also sometimes be able to see chapters early and access cut content.

Hope to see some of you there.

What sort of Interludes do you guys want to see? · 9:36pm February 7th

Now that the Big chapter has been released, I feel like a load has been lifted from my shoulders. I've been writing that chapter for two months and I'm glad that you all enjoyed it.

I took a week off to relax and decompress but now that I'm back to the grind and beginning to formulate plans for the next chapter, I've got some decisions to make.

Primarily: What will the next POV Interlude be?

The Big One... its coming! · 11:50pm January 28th

After nearly two months of writing, it's finally finished. ≈10700 words, more than double my previous 'longest chapter'. I could have published 4 chapters in this time. However, I promised that I would write the whole chapter in one go and so I shall deliver.

It's been a long process but my hard work has paid off and my greatest chapter yet, shall be released soon.

I need to run it past my beta-readers and editors first but hopefully I will publish it sometime tomorrow.

Longest chapter ever! · 7:11pm January 7th

The word count for my newest chapter has just blown past 5000 words, making it easily the longest chapter I've written. And I'm only partly through the chapter. With the things that I'm still planning to include, the chapter will likely come up to at minimum 6k words, potentially even 7k.

This number might be child's play to some other authors who can crank out a lot of content, but it's record-breaking for me.

So far so good · 8:14am Dec 30th, 2023

The next chapter is coming along nicely. I'm about 2.5k words in, which would ordinarily be almost done, but this chapter is going to be a long one by my standards, at least 4k words, maybe 5k.

I struggled a bit with a particular section for at least a week, which significantly slowed me done (and I still might need to rewrite that section). However, progress is being made and work is accelerating. I would estimate that it should be ready by 5 Jan.

I want you to give me feedback. · 10:23am Dec 14th, 2023

I wanted to ask my readers opinion of the Valley Dale arc. This is the first story that I've ever written and the first time that I've ever tried to create a dynamic and complex town, populated by interesting characters.

What did you think about Windy?

What do you think about Wind Chill?

What do you think about Valley Dale itself?

What did you think about the magic show, the build up to it and its aftermath?

Slowly but surely · 11:05pm Nov 21st, 2023

It's been a bit of a slog writing the newest chapter. I had hoped to keep up the momentum of the last chapter, but I've had a lot of stuff happening in my life recently and it's been hard to find the time to dedicate to writing.

Going well · 10:14am Oct 30th, 2023

The last two chapters have collectively taken me 2 months to write, which is not acceptable, especially with my renewed commitment to getting these chapters out faster. Magic shows are hard as hell to write, but I hope that the final product was worth the wait. I'm working to try to accelerate my upload schedule.

The next chapter is already coming along nicely, and for once, I might actually meet my 1 week turnaround goal for uploading. Hopefully, by Friday, it should be out.

Delay in writing the next chapter. · 8:49pm Sep 13th, 2023

It's a pity. I was getting in a nice routine of publishing every 10-14 days, but unfortunately I fear that it'll take longer than that to get the newest chapter out.

First piece of fan art!!! · 4:33am Sep 12th, 2023

An incredibly generous reader of "And so I left" volunteered to lend their tremendous talent and skill into creating the first piece of fan art for my story. They drew Windy's cutie mark. And the result looks excellent.

Please go have a look at her page.

Progress update · 7:37am Aug 7th, 2023

The next chapter is coming along nicely, maybe a week away. Its going smoother than the last one, but will be much longer. Which is why it will probably take about the same time to release. I've gotten a lot of constructive criticism in the last chapter about my overuse of internal monologue and while it will probably take a while for my writing to get dialed in, I hope that the next chapter is an improvement.

Interlude 3 is about to drop. · 12:41am Jun 1st, 2023

I know that I said that the new chapter would only be ready by the end of the weekend, but over the past few days, I went on an absolute WRITING BLITZ and got the chapter done in record time. It's also the longest chapter that I have written by a fair margin. I've completely finished writing it and have sent it away to my beta-readers to look over. After I get it back and make the final edits, it'll go live. Likely within the next day or two. SUPRISE!!!

Progress update · 3:39pm May 29th, 2023

I took a small two week hiatus from writing to focus on other things like my university application and helping to take care of my elderly grandparents. But even though I wasn't writing, it gave me plenty of time to plan out the next chapter in my mind. This has allowed me to hit the ground running now that I'm putting pen to paper, with minimal writer's-block. Just today I've written 800 words of the new chapter and will probably reach 1000 before the end of the night.

Plans for the next 2 chapters. · 9:29am Apr 4th, 2023

So the next two chapters in the story are already planned.

The next chapter will be an Interlude. It will take place from the POV of a Royal Guard at the Everfree castle, who will have a front row view of the events there. I know a lot of people are very excited for a Celestia POV, but I believe that a certain level of ambiguity regarding her motivations are required for what I have planned later in the story.

Progress update · 8:09pm Mar 5th, 2023

It's been a while since my last update. Over the past few weeks a had hit a massive writer's block wall that made progress on my story slow down quite a bit. I've luckily managed to move past that in the past few days and I'm filling out the chapter at a much better better rate now. Hopefully I'll publish it by next weekend.

Dedicated lore chapters · 6:17pm Jan 20th, 2023

So I've been thinking. One of the biggest criticisms I've received about my story is the lore dumps. As I've been writing the next chapter I've noticed that I've had to actively restrain myself from going into too many tangents. All of it I WANT to write about, but those tangents are not very important to the story and probably won't be well received by people who don't want to read tangent after tangent. It feels wrong to me though, to leave stuff unexplained.

January 3 update · 5:44pm Jan 3rd, 2023

I've had a very hectic end of year. Between finishing my online courses, visiting family and preparing for my new job, I've had little time for much else. Things will be settling down for me soon and I'll have more time dedicate to writing. Sorry about the delays.

Should i create a community Discord? (Poll) · 6:32pm Dec 4th, 2022

Would you guys like me to start a community Discord for "And so I left"?

Would it be something that you would be interested in?

You would get to interact with me more, ask me questions directly and chat with other fans. You could also get sneak previews of upcoming chapters.

I'm done writing Chapter 4. I've sent the draft to my beta-readers and editors. Once I get feedback from them and make any final edits, the chapter will go live.

Your patience will soon be rewarded.

Update · 11:18pm Nov 14th, 2022

It’s been about 3 weeks since I last uploaded a chapter, so I thought I’d give a bit of an update as to what has been going on. Far too many promising stories get abandoned so soon and I didn’t want anything to think that of this story, because I went silent for a while.
