I'm taking today off from writing.

That's not quite right, I'm taking a break from posting. I have a lot of things to set up and not just for the Homecoming trilogy. I have an Applejack story that I'm excited about, two weddings to plan (one pony and one human), Valentine's day short, a birthday party, and at least one bridal shower. And another one-shot idea sparked as I wrote that. Too much going on!

But miles to go and all that, so I'll catch you guys on the flip side!

As I noted earlier, I just ended Wooing, but I had an idea for a bonus chapter, one that doesn't advance the story any. Sort of like the "Next Time" lead-outs on some television shows, showing what will happen on the next installment.

But should I? Who wants slight spoilers to a story anyway?

I ended "The Wooing of Sunset Shimmer" today, in a decision that the remaining stories I had planned would be better off as short three to four chapter stand alone stories. As I noted in the author's note, The wedding of Cadence, Dew, and the Spring Break cruise will all have their own stories.

I also have a few little one shots planned for other members of the Mane cast. Look out for another Fluttershy story, my first Applejack story, and maybe something a little more...shocking.

It's become apparent that I shouldn't plot advance stories unless I want scenes from them to bounce around in my head until they're written. I've had two scenes from the Third Homecoming story - which won't even be started till March - bouncing around and I doubt any of you will like what they prophesize.

I'm a mean old witch if I allow them to continue unaltered. But if I change them, it loses it's tension.

What to do?

Oh gosh....

Which is great for me, since I've been jonesing for a new D&D game. So far, I only have a premise down for my wizard.

A mix of Trixie and Starlight Glimmer. I have to bump them up my pony list after the end of Season six. Quite the team they make, rescuing the Mane Six, the Royalty, and more or less anypony important without the use of magic.

Went to do a little editing of the bonfire chapter and managed to somehow upload a blank document. It should be fixed now...

And a new chapter is ready, just doing a bit of editing before it goes up.

I think I'll continue "Wooing" through the end of January, aiming for a chapter every other day. Every time I think I'm coming to a close I think of something else that fits within the story arc.

Right now I have Dew's wedding, Graduation, figuring out how to let the Ponyville Mane 6 attend - or if to let them attend - and Spring Break. I've also decided to reveal Sunshine's origins to the Shimmer sisters, so that's going to be a fun write.

I forgot that I had planned a one or two chapter section for Dawning Dew's wedding. So 'Wooing' is going to go on just a bit longer.

Hmm...bridesmare? Bridlemaid? Glory is the Mare of Honor, by what could we possibly call Sunsets place...hmm.

Despite the fact that their names depict more or less the same time, Sunset and Twilight are more or less studies in opposites sometimes. Twilight tends to be more analytical, rational in her decision-making process while Sunset seems to follow her gut more, tempered by her experiences.
