Now that I've finally gone in and done the clop chop on chapter eight so my one instance of attempting clop is no longer included, I strangely feel a bit better. It's by far not the focus of my story. I've slowly found it far more interesting to involve sexytimes without being direct about it. Horrifyingly embarrassing situations are another matter entirely, I've realized.

Not much to say really. Decided to check with a moderator with an example. Adjusted accordingly.

My internal filters suck and Anne Bishop is mainstream with worse.

The more it churns in the back of my mind, the more that last chapter is driving me nuts for several reasons.

Some parts are fine. To be quite honest, the story told of where some of my OC's motivations and perspectives come from is perhaps a little too close emotionally to something I had to go through myself. Starting to regret using it to a degree. Separately, it could use more coherence, but the Rose Window is fine to me.

Again, there are so many things I suddenly see needing a fix in the latest chapter. For some strange reason, once I post a chapter I suddenly see things in different ways in the back of my mind. No bloody clue why this is, since the last chapter I had completed and sat on for a day or two while I thought about it and nothing really stuck out. Then post and *boom!* I recognize several things I need to go back and fix.

Need to give my brain time to settle so I can read through it again and make sure I've got things where I want them as much as I can manage. Not thrilled with the cliche cheese I used, but it works for the story. That's all that ultimately matters in my book.

First off, this is from a comment on The Chase (superb fic all should read!) I made recently in an attempt to help someone understand just how crazy immense the power of alicorns truly is.

So today I made some small, but important adjustments in chapter 8: Of Souls & Secrets. For sake of simplicity for those that have read it already, I'll note the two points I'm meaning centering around the spell the princesses cast on my OC for 'reasons' within the story. Yes, I like to leave it vague and very in-story to discover. :P

Since I'm still dithering around with the next chapter, I wanted to offer something to the readers I've gained. Yes, still working on the story pretty much daily. Just having some trouble finding inspiration for the next chapter. Done several tweaks in the other chapters, which maybe it's time to run an upload cycle on, and added a pile more concepts and ideas for later in the story to my running list. Things are progressing, just not quite so visibly right now. I am hoping to finish the

For anyone that decides to read Protecting Harmony, I highly encourage you to leave feedback. I haven't written stories in years and while I'm fairly confident in writing halfway decent sentences, the story is already over three times longer than anything I've ever written, considering I only wrote short stories previously. Feedback is helpful because different eyes can see things in a different way, sometimes finding errors or poor wording that I never notice. Granted, always use your brain
