Okay, following up on yesterday's post. I've decided to basically rewrite the chapter. I'll borrow elements from the original version, but on the whole it's easier to simply rebuild it from scratch and put the good bits back in than try to fix up the old chapter. It might take a bit to finish it, but the actual process of writing it is going much smoother now. I'm already about 600 words into the new version after only a day, which might not sound like much, but that's probably more than I got

... I am not at all satisfied with it. It's been a tremendous pain to write so far, and as I think it over, I think it's because I'm trying to write the chapter in a way that just doesn't follow naturally from the events of the story. I had an idea of what I was going to do here, but the way the plotline and characters developed, I just can't leave it like I've written it. I don't know what it is that made it so aggravating to write (it's not like some of the other heavily emotional

Whoo the draft is done and is currently undergoing editing. I'm pretty sure that's the fastest I've ever written a single chapter. So I'm ahead of schedule if I can get this out.

Have an irrelevant image:

Yeah, I finally finished the first draft of chapter 32. If anybody wants to help proofread it (and help it get posted faster), let me know. Eesh, this one was tough.

Yeah, so I'm working on another brief oneshot story. If anybody wants to take a swing at proofreading it, let me know.

But more importantly, I have some news concerning A Delicate Balance.

The first thing is that yes, I am working on the next chapter, and it should be done and ready for editing in a day or two.

So yeah, all those oneshots I've been putting our recently have finally pushed my view total over the 40K mark.

But anyway, on to more interesting things: I have no idea if any of you guys are into listening to dramatic story readings, but recently two of my stories have gotten the "dramatic reading treatment".

Okay, I'm almost done with editing chapter 31, but since it's kind of important, I'm going to put out one last call for people who want to proofread it. If you want to give it a look in the next day or two, let me know. Hopefully it'll be up soon.

And now you'll all be distracted by Celestia's butt fixation:

Okay, so I finally have the first draft of chapter 31 done. As usual, if anybody wants to proofread, it would be greatly appreciated, and also help me get the editing portion of the process done much faster and get the chapter posted sooner. Let me know if you're willing to take a look at it.

Also, Rarijack ship tease:

Okay, so the next chapter is probably going to be a bit late. There are three reasons for this:

1. I've spent the last five days out of town due to family business and haven't gotten any writing done.

2. I'm also going to be out of town this weekend.

3. This is a rather pivotal chapter, and I'm putting some extra time in to make sure it works.

So yeah, it's coming, just slowly.

Have this:

So I got around to polishing up another unfinished story I had lying around. Still needs more polishing, though, so I'm putting out another call for proofreaders.

Again, it's a comedy, this time featuring Celestia, Luna, and stained glass windows. Let me know if you want to look over it.

And also, this:
