Update on what is going on. · 1:29am August 6th
Good evening all who make their way over to this. I figured I would give an update on what I have been working on and what still needs to be done.
Good evening all who make their way over to this. I figured I would give an update on what I have been working on and what still needs to be done.
So, put a little bow on that one.
To begin with, I know this does not break any new ground and that probably is a bummer for some. But honestly, I like filling in some of the missed opportunities and side stories that the Incarnate Series left for me. At the start, I had no idea that I would get as many stories out of the series as I already have. Still, muse shouts, I listen.
SO, while I wanted to finish this for the Sc-fi contest that's not going to happen. Why? Because apparently I am incapable of writing short stories anymore! It's going to be too long. *suspicious cackling in the back of my head followed by the words, "That's what she said!"*
Doesn't matter, still going to finish it. I'm four chapters in. I figure about chapter 5 and once I have the cover done I'll start posting what I have.
In the mean time... have a snippet.
So, a writing contest based in SciFi came across my feed. I don't know if I will participate, buuuuuuut. It did give me an idea.
Figured now is as good a time as any to check in.
Been going back through Red Clover and cleaning up a few sentences here and there. Some were more clunky than I remember. Anyhow, in addition to that, check out what else I was working on.
And there it is. The final culmination of more than a year worth of planning. Actually, around years worth of planning if you count all the way since Incarnate. It's kind of odd to think that I have basically been writing non-stop since early 2020. I started lurking on site in early 2019 after a friend of mine pointed me this way for some good pony fanfiction I was interested in reading and WOW they were not wrong. I spent pretty much all of 2019 reading every story Sunset Shimmer related
Okay, so originally the plan was to release Chapter 42 this Friday and the epilogue on Sunday. But as of typing this Chapter 42 is 18k words long and I'M STILL GOING THROUGH IT and that is a BIT much for a single chapter. So, despite the fact that I thought it would be nifty and clever to end on 42
So, as was stated in the author's note of the last chapter I need to pause publishing for a few weeks to a month to catch back up. Work is very busy, family obligations, shopping, blah, blah, blah. So, rather than run out of chapters I'm pausing on one I think sits well as a place holder. If all goes well publishing will continue at the end of the month or at the beginning of January. I tried, I really did try to stay ahead of the curve, but then my wife had an ER visit, then we both got
Okay, so like I said a week or so ago I wanted to go over the first 19 chapters of Alpha and Omega since it is in two parts. Speaking of which, I finished up Chapter 24 last night and hope to have 25 done by sometime next week. If it gets done before next Friday I'll go ahead and drop chapter 20. If not, then it can wait another week.
Anyhow, onto the review.
Kind of like how I went back and added the kiss to the end of Gods and Monsters I was on a roll today and finished a new image that was added to Chapter 15 of Incarnate. Am I going to keep adding art to stories? Maybe? I mean, as long as it looks good why the heck not?
Anyhow I'll link it here too just to make it easier to see.
