Good News/Bad News/Better News · 3:54am Jul 26th, 2015

Good news-I got an extension on the eviction, which puts me about...thirty seven days out from having to move out of here.

Bad news-the new apartment hunt has been eating up everything that can remotely be called free time.

Better news-Dawn of Dusk Shine's next chapter, Festival...I figured out the gag to make it work. It's all about timing, location, and scrolls.

A Semi-Open Posting... · 9:47pm Jun 3rd, 2015

Barring a miracle, pretty much every story I'm working on these days is going to be on an unofficial hiatus for the next sixty or so days.

Sunrise... · 11:29pm May 11th, 2015

...is at the editor, hopefully to be posted in the next few days.

The next chapters? Festival, Exchange, and Epilogue. The ending, so far, is happy with a touch of bitter, sort of like a good dark chocolate. And, it leaves options open for future stories.

The Range Of An Excuse... · 1:20am Apr 6th, 2015

The range of an excuse is zero meters.

The Celestia chapter of "The Dawn of Dusk Shine" has taken me much longer to write than I care to think about.

It's been restarted at least twice, revised at least three times, and I'm stuck at this one spot that might mean restart #3.

Add to that personal problems in my life. I might be moving for a new job, if the job will pay enough. If not, I'm still looking for new employment from where I am currently now.

Short Version, Long Version-Take Two · 1:01am Feb 7th, 2015

Short version, the next chapter for The Dawn Of Dusk Shine (Sunrise) is taking longer than I expected. Mea cupla, mea cupla.

Long version, the next chapter of this story is taking longer than I expect because writing it is less "comedy" and more "bleeding on the screen, because this story is hitting too close to home".

Getting Close To The End... · 4:37am Dec 31st, 2014

...of Dawn of Dusk Shine. Latest chapter, "Inception" is at the editors and I'm down to the last three chapters of the story.

So far, there might be a sequel. We'll see.

The question is, what do I do next? I have this single shot story that I'm working on as well (it's about tradition). And, there's three story ideas bouncing around my head that I'm trying to decide which one I'll do first.

They are (in no particular order)-

So, Next Chapter Is Up... · 11:10pm Dec 18th, 2014

And, we're coming into the home stretch. Unless something surprises me (or the plot goes somewhere I didn't expect), we've got four chapters to go- Inception, Sunrise, Festival, and (SPOILERS!).

Inception is the Princess Luna chapter. Expect dream logic and Princess Luna somehow working the line of "You musn't be afraid to dream large" in somehow.

Closing In On Agápe · 5:04pm Dec 18th, 2014

The next chapters in The Dawn Of Dusk Shine, "Agápe", is at the editors now.

The story has been coming out very, very fast...and, I'm very proud with how it's been coming out and where it's going.

That, and Dusk Shine is just so very fascinating to write for...

Agápe Is In The Works · 12:17am Dec 9th, 2014

It's a very interesting chapter. It's where Dusk Shine meets Cadence and Shining Armor, and a lot of neat discussions take place.

There are at least three discussions, and they'll cover a number of issues that people have brought up in previous chapters. Not the least of which is the stallion/mare ratio in Dusk Shine's Equestria. I've given some hints in Confections, but this will be the one where I dive deeper into the subject matter.

Oh, and Cadence has The Talk.

Confections · 4:40pm Dec 7th, 2014

The next chapter in "The Dawn of Dusk Shine"-Confections-is ready to go and ready to be shared.

The only thing I'm waiting on is Taranth to finish his Rarity chapter for "One Of Those Days" and we're good to go.
