Well, it's been a busy couple of months, and I find myself still trying to get things worked out. Physically, I'm still dealing with small issues related to my recent operation. Mostly the small annoying things that come as the result of prostate surgery. (and no I will no elaborate) Story wise though, I'm looking over the progress I've made on chapter 2 and I can't help but wonder if what I'm doing will make sense for other readers. In times like this, the lack of any real canon regarding Equestria's military really complicates things. I feel like I have to create way too much of it from scratch. If it seems like too much, I suppose that I could just bite the bullet and declare it alt universe, but I really hate to. There seemed to be so much not said in the movie to make what I'm doing that far out.
But, I guess the only way to find out is to try it. Which brings me to my next issue, writing an ambush. Being a veteran, but not one of direct combat, I can imagine how it would happen, but not necessarily how it would feel to those in the middle of it. What do you compare it too? Is there anything to compare it to? Well, we'll see.
