So on the production side, I've smashed the writer's block I've been under since a couple weeks back and Rude Awakening has made some good progress.

As some of you may or may not know, I've been working with two of the PonyFall authors lately, Belgarion and Silverness of the Rarity and RBD installments, respectively. I worked with Belgarion on chapter 2 of PF:FM and we got about 1k words written and some pretty funny jokes presented themselves. Work with Silverness continues on PF:R, he reports he is about a third of they way through the ~2.5k word slab of notes I handed him on the story.

I saw the featured PonyFall: Fabulous Maximus and thought to myself, damn, that is one fine humanized Rarity. I should click it. I mean, it's humanized Rarity, my favorite pony, and the PonyFall concept is a fun plot hook to get started with, this should be good.

Well, I'm currently in a state of limbo. I put down my work on CG ch1 and RA ch6 and shlepped myself over to work, but we're super slow. Instead of clocking on, I've gone to get a bit of dinner. As I wait for my food to come down from fissionable temperatures, I figured I 'd talk about my latest idea for a fic for those of you that care.

Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty, I am free at last. (Ponies at end of post for those of you who don't like my non-pony writing)

After finally giving up on the idea of finishing the top replacement project without removing the whole convertible frame, the project started to make some good progress yesterday. Right before it started raining. Today it's not raining, but the clouds are still threatening and no one is available to help me lift the things I need to lift anyway, so the project is on hold. Luckily, I'm on break from college and I don't have to be at work until Friday.

So when I bought my car, I knew the soft top needed to be replaced. This Thursday, after my final, I decided to start the replacement with my friends. Now, some days later the new top is still not on and between it and work my spare time has been consumed. There has been some progress on the next chapters of Celestial Genesis and Time Lost, and when those chapters are done I'll definitely do the next chapter on Rude Awakening.

Thank you for your patience and patronage!

As the title states, not much came of trying to swear off ponies the day before this final. I still wound up editing Rude Awakening, I still wound up working on Celestial Genesis (Celly's first scene is almost done), and I put the finishing touches on Time Lost, which is slated to come out in about an hour. I'll be in an exam when it goes up, though, so I'll have to wait to see the critical response! Talk about bad timing for approval.

After a long hiatus of not knowing how to continue my Celestial Genesis starter (I reworked my ideas to hell and back but never settled on anything I liked), I recently did a 3 day blitz of writing that most of you reading this know me for, producing 8800 words and four chapters of Rude Awakening. With a final coming up tomorrow I won't be writing much today, so I figured I should tell those who cared that there probably won't be more pony today.
