Here it is! It's finally almost time to kick this thing off. I'll be publishing chapter 1 on Wednesday (that's one week from tomorrow, just so we're clear).

Continue after the page break for an excerpt from the chapter. Hope to see you all in a week!

I know I've been very silent for quite a while, so I wanted to give an update on my progress. I just now finished editing Chapter 3 of The Darkening, and the only thing I'm waiting on before publishing is a cover art. Once I have the cover art, we will be getting this show on the road!

So, I'm around halfway finished writing chapter 3 of The Darkening, and my wonderful pre-reader/kinda sorta editor is currently making his way through chapter 2. Once I've finished the third chapter, I'm going back to the first to begin editing. I don't believe the editing phase will take very long, and once all three chapters have been touched up, and I have the finished cover art, I will be posting the story.

Just figured I should give you all an update since I've been so quiet here lately. Chapter 1 of The Darkening is finished and being looked over by my pre-reader, and I'm probably about a quarter of the way through writing Chapter 2. Also, due to the difficulty I've been having writing Chapter 2, I stepped away for a bit and worked on my Pinkie story for a little while. I find that it helps to write a light-hearted comedy when you get stuck on a dark fic. Anyway, I enjoyed the first chapter

I am at a place in The Darkening where I need some good Twilight quotes. Quotes that really define who she is. I could go trudging through the transcripts of episodes looking for them, but I thought it would be more fun to ask all of you for some of your favorite lavender pony sayings.

I'll give mine: "A fear that will never come to pass. I'm never gonna send you away."

Better than the Best is done! I'm hoping to finish my edits tomorrow and I'll be posting the final chapter Wednesday at noon EST. I just wanted to thank all of you who have taken the time to read this story. It was truly a pleasure to write, as was reading all of your wonderfully entertaining comments.

I have just finished writing chapter nine and plan to edit it this weekend. It will be posted Monday at noon EST. This chapter turned out to be nearly 13,000 words long, so I split it up. So while you are looking at a smaller chapter this time (only about 4,000 words), the good news is that I'm nearly done with the next chapter, which I hope to post sometime the following week. From there, I'm hoping to put out the last two chapters relatively quickly, as I have already spent a lot of time

Alright guys, I'm very sorry for how long it is taking me to get another chapter of Better than the Best out. I've spent so much time away from the story that now I'm having difficulty finding the same flow as I write, which is causing me to write and delete scenes over and over again. However, I feel that I have finally gotten back on track, and with my oldest daughter back in school, I have a lot more writing time. Since you've all gone so long without any new material, I've decided to

I finally got the internet back! It took forever for the cable company to get to our home, and then the guy hooked it up all wrong and gave us a defective router and we had to wait another three days for someone else to come and fix it. Oh, first world problems.....

Just thought that I should give a bit of an update here. We are closing on our new house on Tuesday and will be moving the following week. Also, I am job hunting because my current employer will no longer give me more than 24 hours a week. I don't know how any of these things will affect my writing, but just assume that the next chapter of Better than the Best will be delayed. I absolutely adore this story, however, and am eager to finish it, so I'll be working on it every spare moment I
