"Only" two months for this chapter. It's not the pace I'd like to be at, but it's not too bad, honestly, and if I wanted to be technical, there was an update in April.
Speaking of the April Fools Chapter—don't worry, it's not gone. For now, I've hidden it, and as soon as I come up with a name and a cover, I'll be posting a new "story" to collect the random snippets I've written, as you do. The existing comments remain on the original story, so nothing has been lost.
tl;dr: There's a strawpoll link at the bottom of the post.
Chapter 15 is 9,047 words, according to FimFiction—a little short, but I go over the 10k mark so regularly, I'm fine with that. I have to say, though, this chapter would not have been out this month if not for Patreon. I'm not gonna lie… there's a good chance that money will go straight to rent as soon as it comes in. It may not be monthly updates, but it is working, and it helps out a ton.
So, Obs wrote a thing, and while I don't think it's really relevant to Sharing the Night itself, it did bring to mind a question that I've had for quite some time.
Sharing the Night's current description:
Twilight becomes alicorn of the stars. This is sort of a problem, because Luna kind of already was alicorn of the stars. Oops!
And here we finally have the reveal which I thought that I was going to end chapter twelve with. I really hope the pacing works out somehow. I think, of all the different parts of writing, pacing is one of the things that comes least naturally to me. It's probably okay, though, since prereader response was good.

Wow, not only did they say some nice things about Sharing the Night… they actually told me about it!
In my experience, it's not uncommon to find that a lot of creative people—writers, artists, etc—tend to be night owls. I, for one, am very much one of these people. Most of my blog posts tend to be written… well, about now, or a few hours later. Somewhere between 5AM to 7AM EST/EDT. This is because I tend to write them after nights where I actually write things. Like now.
Again, my profuse apologies for taking this long to get this one out, but I think I made that clear in my blog posts a few days ago. Actually, I don't have much to say about this chapter that I haven't alredy said in recent blog posts.
I know, I've been sending out a lot of blogs in the past few days, and I promise, this should be the last one for a while. In fact, it's part of the reason for this blog post.
Well, no one told me to get off my high horse and crawl into a hole, so I went and did it. I'm not going to write a big long blog post, because that's what the Patreon page is for. Go there and help me make sure nothing like this terrible two-chapter year ever happens again.
