Hey... I'm really, really, REALLY sorry for not updating Away From The Acres. I've been so blocked for my ideas for the current segment I've been working on and I've been having ideas that I honestly think are better than my story at hand. I will not leave it behind though, as I really love what I've written so far, and I desperately want to continue it, but I've been grasping at straws for good ideas, among the chaos of college-searching and the like, and I seem to pick

So I wrote a sort of one-shot to fill the gap while I'm working on Away From The Acres. It's fairly sad, from the response I've gotten so far, but I've only gotten positive comments, so I figured I would write a thanks to all the people that have read it so far, and another thanks for all the positive response it's been getting.

Got the first section of day three polished, and completed primary writing and some editing on the second section, the chapter is now up to almost 5,300 words, and I've still got three characters to go, in terms of fresh writing. Hoo boy, this is gonna be a long one for me.

On a separate note, I've finally begun successfully fighting my depression! So that's good.
Gotta give the FiMFiction community a hug for that one, gives me good stuff to read when I'm down.

It's still going slowly, as I'm dealing with finals, and my own emotional stresses, but I've steadily been adding to Away From the Acres. Day three is up to 4,300 words, and I'm working on the second section still. Upon release, it should hopefully be enough to sate your reading needs for a little while.
I appreciate your continued patience, guys.

Hey, hey, everyone! I just added around 2,000 words to the next chapter! So I'm finally making progress again, yes. Anyway, I think you should be looking forward to some more emotional advancement with Big Mac. I'm not even close to being done yet; I've only covered part of Twilight's section in the third day, and I have so much more to write! I think you should (hopefully) be happy with the length and content of the next chapter, when I get it done.

Update out,

Hey guys. Just so you know, Away From The Acres is STILL going to happen, I'm not sure if you've ever had to wait quite this long, but I just wanted to reiterate my apologies for how long it's taking. I'm having a lot of trouble with my depression, and had gotten to the point of neglecting schoolwork and personal hygiene. This led to me becoming quite ill, and then I missed several more days of school. Due to this, I have a massive backlog of work I need to complete, but I still come on here as

Sorry for bloggin' all over you, but I just condensed all of my existing stuff and I will be adding fluttershy's perspective to the chapter about perspectives, but for a short period of time, it will be a standalone chapter for easier access. Well, at least once I finish it. I have several paths i could go through, trying to decide which one.

As usual, thanks for reading!

Hey guys, just wondering. If I keep going with my current method, Away From The Acres is going to be a LOT of fairly short chapters. Would it be alright with you guys if I combine some of the existing chapters to cut down the amount of existing chapters, and then proceeded to write longer ones? I have a method of combining them all worked out, just wanted to get any opinions from you all.

Many thanks,

My dog is gone, and while I'm glad she didn't have to suffer, and that she lived a good life, I feel embittered.

I was really hoping to be back on the block by now. One more day of school on Monday and then I'm done with that, but I've been spending as much time with my dogs as possible, because the sick one has been up and down a lot. We're still hopeful, and she seems to be happier than she was, but she's still up and down, as I said. Thank you all SO much for sticking with me, I really do hope to be writing again soon, and I do have the basic story for the next section or two thought out. Just need to
