So, I think I'm finally done with book one. I wouldn't wish that job on anyone. I have no problem editing a single chapter or reworking a scene, but doing a complete overhaul of a 40k word story is hard. It's even harder when you've done a complete rewrite for a fourth time now. I added a little over 5k words to the last edit which had actually taken the story down to 36k. It now stands at around 42k.

So, that was fun.

I made it through my first month of competition in the Writeoff and actually did pretty good given the competition. After taking some more time to expand my story, it's ready for the fimfic crowd to digest. Give it a read, and let me know what you think.

I want to start by saying I'm sorry to anyone waiting patiently for the continuation of The Scion of Harmony. (Short answer—I'm not done there. Long answer below.)

A little over a month ago, I stopped posting new chapters to my third novel. I had two more chapters written and my plan was coming together for a hugely dramatic climax to follow. Clearly something happened, and I probably owe my readers an explanation.

I'm struggling to write everything that's running around in my head. The Scion of Harmony has been testing the limits of my imagination. I've got pages of notes and personal comments that are all fighting for my attention as I pull together the next few chapters.

It's been a pretty crazy last couple weeks. Between work and family time, I've been very busy. Whatever extra time I had was devoted almost entirely to book three writing and revision.

Here it is, the final book in my Evolution of Harmony trilogy.

Chapters will be posted regularly, but not necessarily every day. I'm working hard to make sure what gets published is polished and ready for consumption. I hope you all enjoy this book and everything that comes with it. I've put quite a bit of effort into making it worth your time to read.

I appreciate any comments or suggestions and would really just like to know what you all think of my work.

Thanks for reading!

Edits are done on book one. It took longer than I expected, and there were a lot of things I ended up fixing. The story remains, for the most part, untouched.

With that out of the way, most of my time now should be devoted to book three. I hope to start publishing chapters this weekend.

For all of you old followers, thanks for sticking around. For anyone new, thanks for coming. Hopefully you all can enjoy the ride together.

So, I'm making a dent in the first book overhaul. It's going slower than I would have liked to see it go, but I'm also trying to correct a lot of issues on multiple fronts.

If you happen to take a look at the revisions, you'll see a major shift from the previous version to what I have currently posted up through the end of chapter two. Comments are certainly welcome, and I hope the changes make the story clearer and better suited to what follows.

So, I've pumped out the first few chapters of book three. Still a lot to do before I'm ready to make them public. I've got a really cool plot line planned that should do a great job of wrapping up the series. Pre-reader types are taking a look right now.

I just threw together a short story for the EqD Outside Insight contest - submission pending approval now...

I thought it was a fun chance to drop a little love for a non-pony character and see where it went.

I'm kind of surprised I made it to 1500 words - my goal was to keep things pretty tight without getting wordy.

Let me know what you think if you get a chance to take a look.
