As of today, I lost my job! This means that, along with my alcohol consumption likely skyrocketing in the near future, I'm going to have much more time to put into writing. I should be able to make progress on a lot of my stuff.
So I found this:
And now I'm seriously considering writing a story about "Bad Old Days" Celestia as a barbarian warlord, long before the unification of the tribes.
Would you rather see more A funny thing happened on the way to the throne room, Friendship is Intergalactic, or a story about Bad Old Days Celestia?
Just a heads up that all writing is currently on hold until I finish moving from one end of Canada to the other. I'll be settling in over in Montreal next Wednesday, at which point I'll be getting back into things. Friendship is Intergalactic is currently my main focus for writing, and although I do have some plans for Planar Parallax and Black Ops I'd really like to make some major headway on Intergalactic first.
So I've recently been locked in an intense staring contest with the same foe that has haunted me throughout my entire life when it comes to writing:
an absolute lack of planning.
Sorry about poofing. I feel I owe you all some explanation of where things stand, though.
Basically, the school that I'm going to got REALLY intense. Part of that is my own fault; last quarter I failed an incredibly easy class due to my own arrogance, and so this quarter I'm taking 120% of a normal courseload to make up for it- that puts me at doing 50+ hours of schoolwork a week if I want to pass. That's where I've been for the last few months.
Like I said, writing more. Getting a little burnt out on school, fun though game design is, and I need to do some writing to keep myself sane. That's good news for progress on the story!
Also, I saw some wicked cool art that might inspire me to do a slightly more serious spinoff of this in the future, using some characters besides the CMC.
Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
Basically, school is still busy as all get out, and while I can't change that I have started to get just a little bit better at organizing. This, fortunately, means I can start writing again!
Sorry to not have made an update for a while.
Turns out that this quarter of school they decided that students don't really need downtime, or time to recover from the break. From week one of being back, the workload was as intense as the busiest part of any previous quarter, and it's only gotten heavier. I haven't had a proper day off where I could afford to just relax all day since the quarter began.
However.
About time I got that done!
Sorry about how long that took, I got into the busy part of school and lost the time I had to work on this. But now the Prelude is finally done, and I can get working on the actual adventure stuff!
I'm on break at the moment, and I aim to get more writing done. I miss writing, and I'm looking forward to producing more on this.
