Well, we finally reached the double-digits, and a rather important turning-point chapter with this one.

Most of this was written on a trip I took a few weeks ago, though as I've gotten this far in the story, it can be kind of difficult to get my thoughts and feelings out regarding what is coming up.

Things are coming, that I think even I am wondering if I can pull off...

The other week, I took the train to visit my youngest sister, who graduated with a Masters Degree in Journalism (beats my mediocre little BFA in Media Arts and Animation, I'll give you that!). While on the train ride back to where I live, I did some more writing on The Expansive Romance of Applebloom and Coral Leaf, and as the day carried on, I got the idea for another little one-shot story, this time involving a Applebloom as a young filly.

Phew! Got that up before my 4-day weekend started!

The month of April is kind of a strange month for me. I was telling my Dad on the phone a few weeks ago, that it's felt that way since I was a teen, and I think it has to do with April being that 'transitional' month, between Winter and Spring.

Well, finally got off my caboose and got this chapter proofread, and released!

As explained before, after the rather lukewarm reception to the last chapter (which marks a turning point in the story!), I got a bit low, though thanks to Dommy128 and AppleOrPie for their little pep-talks.

If anyone out there was keeping tabs, I know it sounded like I was going to release Chapter 8 a week ago, but got into a small funk after the last chapter release, that I was hoping would hit with a bang...but seemed to fall with a loud thud.

In truth, "I just don't know what went wrong." Then again, I'm often doing things that don't line up with the average reader's thoughts.

Hi all,

Checking in a week after the massive release of Chapter 7...that seemed to hit with a rather light thud.

Just wanted to say if anyone is attending the Midwestern convention known as Whinny City Pony Con this weekend, I'll be there all 3 days, as a sightseer. Just look for a guy with black hair, glasses, and some form of pop-culture shirt...and, my Fimfiction name on my badge (hopefully, I believe I got it in for them to put on this year too).

Well, sound of the gun, but I got Chapter 7 up before I have to take off for a Friend's party today!

This is a pretty crucial chapter, despite it seeming to be a lot of nothing...but there definitely is something there.

I can't tell much more than that, as I want those who are my avid readers, to give this chapter (the longest one yet!), a read.

Yeah, it kind of broke my 2-week cycle of releasing a new chapter, but given that I've had a few extra thumbs up in the ratings area (and my first thumbs-down since the early days of the story), I decided to put this chapter up, a few days beforehand!

I will admit that when it comes to writing these stories, the word count gets drastically different when bringing the document into Fimfic's toolset.

Well, as I continue to proof Chapter 6, I thought I'd see if anyone sent in a question that I could try and answer.

As explained in my previous blog post, I decided to open the floor to maybe discussing a bit more about myself, my writing philosophies, or a few other things, if some people wanted to know.

I've found that discussion is often a great motivator, and can even inspire others.

And so, member Ghillie Yoshi sent me this question a few weeks ago:

Well, after an extra-long Birthday week last week (with a day spent cleaning, a workplace party with drinks and frivolity, and a party with friends over the weekend), I finally got finished setting up and sending out Chapter 5!

Given the few words I've seen so far (and the added 'thumbs up' and 'favorites'), it looks like I'm actually doing okay with this story.

Plus, the 'energy drink buzz' of seeing the positives, has got my brain functioning again on how to 'spice up' Chapter 7!
