So, I've been working on the next chapter of A Darkened Sky, and my mind was all like: "I'm not going to let you continue until you tie up that Merlin plot point."

So that's what I've been doing. It's going to be a short one-shot, but my only problem is how I'm going to go about executing it. I definitely need to get the info out there, since it will be relevant in the future, but the question is the presentation, to which I need some advice.

So, it's late at night, I've been up, unable to sleep, as I watch my two babies try and sleep through the night, and I think: Hey, I have a few hours since, you know, my brain isn't letting me do the whole sleep thing, why not write more of that book that you love so much?

So I did just that.

Well, kinda.

You guys remember how, a while back, I was arguing with amazon, trying to get them to update my book for the readers that already bought it? Well, I managed to get them to meet me halfway. Specifically, they sent me this email:

Hello,

This is Alex from KDP. It is my pleasure to assist you.

We've reviewed the changes to your book, and we consider the content updates to be minor quality corrections.

Yes, you read that right, before I go to bed. Despite the fact that it's 4 in the morning here. Why am I up so late? Have I been working steadily on getting the next big chapter out for your enjoyment?

Well, kinda.

I have been working on it, but let's just say that something has kept me from devoting my full attention to getting my projects done. Or should I say, someone.

So, I've been working on the MLP-free version of my story, and I've reached the point where Alex is introduced to King Tor, the King of the Morning. The relevant backstory for his name was that I decided that he was born a bastard of the previous king and a slave, and that he was named to reflect that. I thought you guys might get a kick out of it having a tiny sneak peak at what his name translates into in English using magic.

So, when I posted previously, stating that I had a new chapter, I had it set so that you can comment and make suggestions on my doc. Yet, for some reason during the course of the night, it reset itself. I've set it again, so that you guys can comment, so please forgive me for the weirdness, I'm not sure what happened there.

If you don't want to head back to the previous blogpost to find the link, you can find it right here:

So, in order to combat the writers block that has developed and has prevented me from working more on the second book, I have finished the epilogue. I wanted to experiment a little with Celestia here, and as such her speech is inter-spaced with other events, like how a commander gives a speech, but what is shown on screen is the actual battle he's prepping his troops for. I really hope I did it justice, but it's something I was experimenting with, so I'd understand if you felt I didn't do it

So, after finding out that my e-book version wasn't updating as intended, I did a little digging. Apparently the little "Update book" button is a flat out lie, because they only update if you physically call them and tell them about it.

Hey, you guys! So I know you've all been chomping at the bit, wondering where I've disappeared to, and the answer is quite simple: I've been working on the next book. I've come quite a ways, too, so much so that I'm thinking I could have it ready for editing within the next couple of months!

So, I finished editing and fixing up and all that stuff my new book, and due to how Amazon works, the changes will be available any time between the next hour, and the next 48 hours. As for now, I have a bone to pick with Amazon that I'm sure you guys will get a kick out of. It's a minor thing, but it still bugs me, and it's something that I'm sure you guys will catch once you see the new manuscript.

You see this?
