Putting this up here now, cause I'll probably not be on for any substantial time tomorrow - January.

Have a good one, folks.

So yeah, I still exist. No long-winded explanations for my absence in this one.

Uni work is fucking hard. I had too many distractions from my work, hence my absence of lack of communication on Fimfiction and other platforms. Even so, I hadn't cut out enough time for myself; something had to go: writing time, or recreation time.

Writing time went. I need to de-stress each day after uni or I'm going to end up mentally unsound.

So yeah, I start university tomorrow. Mixed feelings, but hopefully I'll have a lot of free time (so I can finish this damn chapter, among other things).

Between breaking the ice with my peers, attending student events and nights out, and learning the layout of the city, I suppose I'll be quite busy this week, either way.

Most promisingly, studying at university level will hopefully allow me to surround myself with those that possess a similar attitude to - and aptitude for - learning.

10.3k words, still got around another 2-3k minimum left.

Huehuehue.

It's been a while since I've done this (years, I believe), but it's also been ages since my last update, and I keep thinking of more details to add to this chapter, ever extending past my own deadline.

As such, here's a short preview that I hope can tide you guys over for the next 1-2 weeks whilst I finish up. I don't want to reveal too much, but hopefully the first few paragraphs should at least give you all an idea of the chapter's tone.

No writing to be done tonight. Some spud has changed the password on my writing laptop so I'm reading on my phone instead. Writing properly is basically impossible on this thing, this blog has taken nearly 10 minutes to write properly...

Really pissed off, too. If I knew who it was I'd bloody wake them up to fix it.

That shit ain't funny when I haven't updated for half a year.

Running behind schedule once again.

- Apologies, Mike

Just thought I'd share one of the main themes I've been listening to whilst writing the latest chapter. I think it captures the Equestria I envisaged under Discord's rule very well, despite the fact that we'll only be seeing a small part of 'Old' Equestria in the chapter itself.

Out of nowhere, my creativity has returned.

RKO'd me, so to speak.

I'm actually unsure of what happened, it's weird...

For the past couple of weeks I've managed maybe 100-200 words a night, if any; just really struggling with the current scene, but last night I was more inspired than the new fucking Hearthstone expansion.

3000 words in an hour and a half. Not bad, considering my recent performance has been less than stellar.

To my surprise, I actually surpassed the grades required to gain entry, and as such I've managed to firmly secure my preferred university place on a course for BSc Clinical Psychology. All things considered, I'm pretty chuffed.

Grades were as follows:

Law:
Grade from last year - C
Grade predicted - B
Grade attained - C

Psychology:
Grade from last year - B
Grade predicted - A
Grade attained - B

ICT:
Grade from last year - D
Grade predicted - D/C
Grade attained - B

I find out whether I made the cut or not tomorrow.

Joy.

On the bright side, I've made a lot of progress on the upcoming chapter.
