EDIT: THE STORY HAS BEEN SUBMITTED! Now we just have to wait for it to show up!! :D

All right, well obviously the sequel didn't happen when I wanted it to. XD Things came up IRL that prevented me from working on it, and once I started poking at it again I realized I had a lot left to do... so yeah! Here we are, about two weeks later... ^^;

All right, so that wasn't the REAL sequel. XD It got a way more positive response than I was expecting, honestly... hmm. Oh well, will wonders never cease? ^_^ I had a lot of fun writing it, so it's all good no matter what!

All right, since I've been quiet on here ever since I posted "I Dreamed a Dream" I figured it's time to update this bish and let everyone know what I've been doing.

Well, "Where My Heart Lives" was certainly an exciting ride, wasn't it? It took me just over two years to piece together that beautiful story, and I have to say that I couldn't be happier with it.

That said, there *might* be a small addition to put on the end. Keep an eye out for a special bonus chapter, since is one more thing left to address, I feel.

A span of time just shy of 25 months, and the amount of time it took me to FINALLY FINISH "WHERE MY HEART LIVES"!

THAT'S RIGHT, PEOPLE

IT'S DONE

FINAL CHAPTER AND EPILOGUE POSTED

READ IT

OH MY GOD

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL YOU CRAZY PEOPLE!!!

Current word/page count according to my Microsoft Word is 152 pages and 90,000 words exactly. Hooray for another whole bunch of words, woo!

In other news I'm SO FREAKING CLOSE to having this done that I actually got up early today to try and finish this before I go to work this evening, so if you guys are really lucky you'll have yourselves a RarTavia-filled Christmas.

This is literally just because I paused in my writing and noticed that I stopped at exactly 80,000 words. I think that counts as a milestone, don't you guys?

So at the moment, WMHL is at 135 pages and 80,000 words exactly. Woohoo!

All right, loyal fans and readers, this is an update to let you all know that I'm back on the writing horse and working hard to get WMHL finished. It was a really hard Thanksgiving week for me due to personal reasons and I'm just now getting back to feeling like my normal self, and that means getting the writing kicked back into gear. I have a good portion of the next chapter written, so all I really need to do is get back into the flow of the chapter and finish it... but that might take some

On this day two years ago, I embarked on a journey that was NOT supposed to last two whole years: a journey by the name of "Where My Heart Lives."

The big two-parter is up, guys...

...prepare yourselves.

Seriously. My wife cried when she read this.

BE PREPARED.

So this new chapter is now almost 20 pages long with more to come... so I'm making an executive decision, everypony.

Oooh man... this is going to suck.

I just got all of my holiday hours, and the long-and-short of it all is that if I don't get WMHL done before Thanksgiving... it might be January before I actually get time to finish this.

I'm SO CLOSE that I can literally taste it... but I'm having such a hard time writing at the moment. My ideas aren't flowing quite right, I'm deleting almost as much as I write... it's really disheartening.

Read More

Page 107 and 63,453 words... that makes 11 pages done for this new chapter and I'm halfway done if I'm lucky. X'D

But to be fair, this is THE CLIMAX. This isn't something that I feel like could or should be broken up in the reading, and I'm willing to make this chapter be AS LONG AS IT NEEDS TO BE... as long as it says what it needs to say.

Just like the title says, "Where My Heart Lives" now has a brand-spanking new cover image, courtesy of my very own very talented wife! X3 I've already changed the cover image on the story and I had intended to put the picture up on my blog here for everyone to see, but fimfiction is being a bag of dicks and not letting me... SO instead, I will put up links to the images and gush about them for a bit!

"Where My Heart Lives" has today passed two milestones: I have officially reached over 60,000 words AND I have officially hit page number 100! Woot! Go me!

...is anyone even reading this story anymore? X'D

~D4ft

YES!!! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

*laughs until sobbing and collapses onto keyboard*

ahahaha... hah... *sniffle*

This chapter... there's so much I love in it... I hope you, my wonderful readers, enjoy it as much as I am...

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and eat something sugary...

WMHL has officially reached 50,000 words! Woo!

I have absolutely nothing planned to celebrate this milestone except to bury it in more words as I work into this next chapter... or rather, two chapters.

That's right, you heard correctly- the next installment of WMHL will not consist of one chapter, but rather two chapters that will be literally a part 1 and part 2 of the same large, congruent chapter. They will be released at the same time, and the reason behind this is simple:

My mistake. The next chapter will not be the "doozy" chapter- it will instead be a setup to the "doozy" chapter... curse my inability to overlook details in favor of faster storytelling. I mean seriously, it's becoming a problem and there is no cure. ;-;

Well, it turns out I may have "seasonal allergy" symptoms. I've been suffering from stuffy head and fuzzy thoughts for the past four days, and finally today my wife and I bought some medication that seems to have actually helped. My thoughts aren't being choked by a foggy haze of grossness, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to continue on with WMHL in short order.

Read More

All right, I'm back now and work has resumed on WMHL. It's not going very quickly at the moment because there has been an unexpected amount of stuff piling up in my lap since I got home and I'm having a hard time sitting down to do anything creative just now. I am, however, making progress on the new chapter, so I just thought I would let the whole 3 of you who actually read these that I'm NOT dead and that I'm hoping to get a new chapter churned out ASAP.
