Sharing the Night: Chapter 15 Author's Notes · 12:06am May 30th, 2015

"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. :trollestia:

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.

Next chapter is in prereading, a question for everyone · 5:46am May 28th, 2015

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.

Poll regarding the description for Sharing the Night · 3:23am Apr 10th, 2015

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!

Sharing the Night: Chapter 14 Author's Notes · 1:58am Mar 27th, 2015

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.

Late night writing · 10:17am Feb 11th, 2015

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.

Sharing the Night: Chapter 13 Author's Notes · 6:43am Dec 25th, 2014

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.

One small note for everyone *not* involved in the Patreon. · 3:41am Dec 21st, 2014

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.

Sharing the Night—now with Patreon · 11:05pm Dec 19th, 2014

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.
