I just wanted to let you all know that I am going to be posting a new chapter in each of my stories announcing the release of A Journey Unthought Of: Revival of Chaos. This way, if you see an update from one of my old stories, you'll know it is related to the sequel and you can easily mark it as read. With only ten days now until I release the sequel, I've begun to wonder if there will be any reason to continue this series on my blog. Should I instead switch the focus of the blog to answer

So I'm really glad I made a ton of progress in the last two weeks, because this one has been completely unproductive. By unproductive I mean that I have been so productive in my college courses that I have not been able to write anything fun related. This turn of events is most unfortunate, and it makes me supersadface <:C. The weekend, however, offers a grand opportunity to continue writing. It's honestly hard for me to believe that the weeks are flying by so fast; uploading begins in two

So I took a look at the word count of Revival of Chaos after I finished chapter 10, and I'm already at over 18,000 words. I've barely even started into the plot (at least in my mind) and I'm already at a word count that's nearly a third of the original AJUO. I expected that Revival of Chaos would be bigger wordcount wise, and I expected it would be at least over 50 chapters long. It never consciously occurred to me that I'd pretty much be writing a novel lengthwise, but I definitely believe

You read that right! I finally set the date where I begin to upload AJUO: Revival of Chaos; March 23. Apparently once my brain saw that I was ready to finally write the sequel, it was said "Hot diggity dang cornbread" to itself and proceed to barf words out of my fingers into my word processor. Its been one week in, and I've pretty much averaged a chapter a day, each one about four to six pages in length! I'm excited! You're excited! (hopefully) Everyone's excited! Anyhoo, if there's

I have to say that I was disappointed in the story of the episode this time around. I've talked with others, and we've come to the agreement the largest part of the problem was that the episode was just one episode. If it had been allowed to be a two parter even, I'm sure the execution would have been much better. The entire sequence of events that took place after Twilight got disintegrated by her friends felt like it was shoehorned in at the last minute, even if the coronation of

This week and this blog post marks where I begin to write AJOU: Revival of Chaos. (Took him friggin' long enough, since he's been promising it all this time!) I pretty much finished Lessons for a Benevolent Tyrant over the weekend, and for now I'm distracting myself with the more commonplace things of life like staying afloat in all of my college classes, before I sit back and begin intensively writing. The hardest part about writing stories in general I've found is not Writer's Block, but

I'd like to pose a conundrum to you: why is life full of so many distractions that aren't ponies? Higher education is not conducive to my ability to write it seems. I only have a couple more chapters to write before Lessons for a Benevolent Tyrant is finished (just started writing chapter 13), and then I can finally start on writing AJUO: Revival of Chaos. The first portion of the story will deal with the Changelings and their plans for Canterlot, essentially being a rehash of the season 2

You send them to the moon! Ehem, well, I'm happy to announce that my next appendix, Lessons for a Benevolent Tyrant, will begin being posted on Saturday. I'm quite pleased with how it has turned out, and since I'm already about 75% through writing it, I will be able to start writing the opening act of what I've now officially titled A Journey Unthought of: Revival of Chaos very soon. The upcoming story will deal with how Princess Celestia learned about the virtues associated with the
