Okay, so I decided the first section of 64 worked better added onto 63 instead and swapped it in, expanding that chapter by over a thousand words and adding two pages. Unfortunately, that means I'm just halfway into 64 now instead at about 4.5k of words. It'll be done by next week, hopefully with 65 as well. Three more chapters done for comments too, and I hope to get those out this weekend at some point, catching me up. Heh.

Not quite done with 64 yet, apologies. I'll try to write faster. Also down a pre-reader again. Now I only have one anonymous fellow remaining. I don't think I'll be accepting any more. It only seems to make the selected individuals lose interest in the story. Also, I decided to hold off on the two chapters of comment replies I have so far, and just toss them all up at once next week. They're a lot sparser than I normally do, but I'm selectively going through and only replying to things

*stares blankly at the screen for almost fifteen minutes before remembering to type in it* Mmmph. Today won't be up to my usual level of professionalism, my apologies. I'm very, very dead tired, and can't seem to keep my eyes open for anything today. No energy to post a chapter update. Chapter 62 is done, regardless. Onwards with 63 as things speed up significantly. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... Anyways, 56 will be up in a few minutes, then I'm gonna take a nap.

That was a lot of work. Editing a chapter that huge wasn't fun. Bleh. Julia will have a field day with this one. Heh. Thankfully it's back to normal sizes now with 62 started. Wheee! Anyways, Chapter 55 will be posted in a minute or so.

Hullo everypony. This has been a rather hectic, if not miserable week, but I'm here still and posting for a Friday release! Chapter 61 is technically done, but I'm expanding upon it heavily for..... reasons.... and it's going to be bigger than the average chapter. A lot bigger. Afterwards, we move into a more normal pace with the next few chapters, which I'm going to attempt to focus on rather intently. It turns out that focusing is really hard when you have a lot of pain medication

I come back after the weird questions to my inbox, only to realize that the final section didn't get pasted into the story box. Oops! The Hearth's Warming special is updated now with a final section that should have been there all along! Have fun with it, and sorry I didn't notice sooner. *facehoof*

Happy Hearth's Warming, everypony! Have a small present, from me, to everypony. I can't do a chapter release today as I'm not comfortable with my buffer, but I did write up something a little extra, just for fun. It's not edited, proofed, or beta read, so it might be sloppy, but I didn't want to bother my editor or proofer on a holiday. Enjoy it as it is! You'll find it attached to Forgiveness Pending.

Hope everypony is having a wonderful day!

Best Wishes,
Kiro

Okay, so I'm back. I feel a bit more focused now and am doing better. Still a bit down here and there but no reason to miss two weeks in a row. So have a chapter, all. Thank you as well for all the encouragement and kind words. I'll get to those individually in my last blog after this. I wanted to get the chapter up first so those waiting so patiently for it didn't have to wait longer.

Apologies, all. I'm far too stressed out at the moment for there to be a proper update today. I've got a lot of things bothering me in real life, coupled with some less than stellar reviews, so I'm momentarily shutting down for this week. I'll be back next once I calm down. Sorry again, to all those looking forward to my updates. If I feel up to it, maybe next week's release will be a double one to make up for this. Anyways, here's the results of that very informative poll a few days

I'm taking a break for a while. I don't know if it will extend into next week's release or not, but it will probably delay my comment replies. My apologies to all those looking forward to them.

Poll, just out of curiosity. It won't change my current story path, which I've stated dozens of times already, but I might write a few 'what-ifs' if there's enough interest. Hum. Just toss up the preferred number if you feel like it.

'Herd' Opinion:

Wheee. All set to release for today, and I got another chapter done, so at least I'm keeping my buffer up with releases for now. Slowed my writing down a little bit, which may also have something to do with the fact that Starbound's Beta got released........... Anyways! Sixty isn't technically 'finished', in regards to me not being entirely happy with the.... uh... ending of it....... so the word count might bounce around a bit more than normal on final release, but I'll post it anyways.
