Chapter 14 is done. It's... well, I don't know. I tried a lot of risky things in this chapter. Risky? How so? Well...

Poetry. I used poetry. I have a special place in my heart for poetry, and I love to write it, but I was worried having Applejack use it may be way out of character for her. I wanted to make the scene compelling and tear-jerking, or at least inspiring, and poetry is the best way I know how to do that. So have some poetry. Did you like it?

I had a BLAST writing this new chapter! Chapter 13: Hopelessly Distracted was the fun chapter I was scoring for. I sat around for five days trying to figure out which fun way I wanted to take the chapter, and then BAM, I had it, wrote it, revised it, and posted it! Hooray!

Sorry I didn't post anything after chapter 12, I didn't really know what to say about it. I still don't know.

Chapter 11 is finally updated. I decided to put within this chapter something that has been requested for in the comments in the story.

A Kiss Scene.

So what? Well, it can be particularly hard to write a kissing scene when...you've never...been kissed...before.

Ahem. So, yeah.

I'm sorry. I truly am. But Chapter 10 was so interesting, and after the whole thing with the power outage and writing the second half twice, I just couldn't help myself. I know, no excuses. It won't happen again.

Okay that was probably a lie, but...

Okay, so...
I was gone for a week at a camping trip I forgot to mention and the whole time I had the worse case of the 'I-need-to-write-but-I-don't-have-any-paper' syndrome. Now I'm home, and I'm absolutely not going to throw up all my ideas as quickly as I can onto a document before they slip away. Cough, cough.

But seriously.

[Edit]: You feel better about your work when it's out there getting appreciated instead of on a word document waiting to be seen.

So, I got Chapter 9: Promise all uploaded and finished. I worked hard and tried to make it compelling, strong, and a huge turn point for Rainbow Dash.

So, that was quick. Chapter 8 was very fun to write, but still quick an easy. And now...

CHAPTER NINE!!

I am so excited for this chapter! I hope you'll see why when it comes. It may take a while for that to happen though, because I really want to take the time to make it special. Hopefully it won't take too long, since I could get bored of it. Guess we'll see.

Better start right away then!

Whew! Chapter 7 was a doozy, since it was the longest chapter I've written for my story, coming down to 2,777 words. Wow. We'll see how long chapter 8 will be, since it's a relatively small piece in the story, and a small scene in the show. Hopefully this means it will be quick and easy, and I'll have it over and done with so I can move on to number 9. No spoilers, but let's just say I've been looking forward to that one for a while. It's going to be awesome!!

I've been a little quiet lately, but mainly because I haven't had much to say. I've updated my story writing methods, by adopting an outline so I know what happens next and what I need to accomplish in each chapter. I worry it will take some of the surprise out of it, so when I finish a chapter I won't be amazed at how well it turned out and be surprised at where I took the story. But I'm hoping it will help with the writer's block.
