The Blog Post That Isn't About The Crimson Crusade · 3:29am Feb 10th, 2019

I'm still writing it. In fact, I wrote about a thousand words for the next chapter earlier.

But I got tired and felt like reading through old blog posts and came across a couple random, off the cuff idea brainstorms, and that felt like a fun exercise, so I'm going to do that right now, at this very moment. Brace yourselves. It's about to get vague up in here...

Been a bit busy · 3:05am Feb 8th, 2019

Things have been a bit busier for me lately, which means I haven't written much. But I am confident I should be able to finish The Crimson Crusade in the next several weeks. There's really only one more chapter of development, one (probably long) chapter of the climax, and probably an additional chapter/epilogue to wrap things up left to write. I haven't written much lately, but I have been thinking about things a fair amount, which is good. If past writings are any evidence, I'm at my best

Things are coming together · 2:27am Feb 3rd, 2019

I've gotten a bit ahead of myself with writing. As in, I skipped ahead and started writing parts closer to the finale, so that things tie together in the way I want them to. I just wrote about 800 words of an emotional breakdown and I'm really excited to tie it together with the remainder of the story. I just discovered that writing that kind of stuff is really satisfying. This will likely change to a certain degree, and is VERY spoilery, but here's a portion for anyone who doesn't care

Empathy · 1:21am Jan 31st, 2019

I figured out what I want my story to mean. I know it's just a silly fanfic, but sometimes it's amazing how writing can sometimes be a product of what you're thinking and feeling in your everyday life. Being empathetic to other peoples' problems and keeping an open mind is something I think the world really needs to work on, and I think the word itself sums up what I want my story to be. Well, that and the handful of other "themes" I've attached it to like maturity and seeking purpose. It just

Quick Update · 3:35am Jan 30th, 2019

Today was a pretty good day for writing, wordcount-wise. I wrote more of an intro for Chapter 5 to flesh out Apple Bloom a bit more, and wrote about 1000 words for Chapter 6. It was pointed out that Apple Bloom's transformation felt a bit "fast", so to say, and I'd agree with that. I think the addition to Chapter 5 helps a bit, but I may go back to the introduction to Sigil scene to draw it out more, and make it feel more meaningful.

Here's a teaser for Chapter 6:

Next Chapter of The Crimson Crusade · 8:30pm Jan 27th, 2019

The next chapter should be released in a few days. I've got enough to publish, but I need to go through and make sure it feels full and complete. The story is getting more interesting to write now too, which helps a lot. I was planning on making the next chapter the one where they finally get into the highlands, but it's looking like that will be reserved for the one after it :twilightsmile:

Here's a little teaser, cause why not:

The Crimson Crusade Update · 4:37am Jan 22nd, 2019

The next chapter will be out tomorrow, and it also will mark the end of what I've written mostly in advance. But this is where writing usually gets easier for me, since all the main development and plot stuff is mostly written. The next chapter is essentially the glue between the first and second part of the story, the second being actually in the Highlands and interacting with Lirins/Nirils.

A question of interest · 4:58am Jan 15th, 2019

While I haven't been very active lately, I am still working on my adventure story involving the CMC, albeit pretty slowly in recent weeks. It's up to about 7k words so far (although it'd definitely be more once I go through and pad the existing chapters) but I've reached an area that requires attention to detail and world-building that needs to be right, otherwise I'll hate myself. I'm still toying with the idea of releasing what I've written so far, perhaps a chapter every few days or

Vague Update · 4:48am Dec 8th, 2018

Progress has been decently steady recently on my new story, "The Final Crusade", which I still need a better name for. It's the CMC adventure story combined with some new lore about Kirin-esque creatures. Which, by the way, are turning out to be pretty creepy in a good way. Well, half of them at least. I'm finding myself channeling some of my changeling lore writing style into things, which is interesting. Here's a short excerpt that will probably change a fair amount before I publish the whole

Story Planning Dump · 5:10am Dec 3rd, 2018

I am currently in the first few chapters of a story I've been writing that I outlined in previous blog posts about worldbuilding and wanting to write an adventure story featuring the CMC as main characters. If you don't want to be spoiled, assuming I write this thing to fruition, then you shouldn't read any further than this paragraph, because I am going to outline what I have so far and want to go for, in hopes that it helps me stay focused on completing it and to get feedback.
