Because of how I'm working on this particular rewrite, the reworked chapters will not appear as "new" chapters and the story won't appear as "updated". So what that means is that I'm going to have to work harder with every update to get the story out there. This chapter shouldn't be unfamiliar to longtime readers, however, it will have some very subtle yet significant lore changes towards the end that better establish the story's narrative and reason for happening. The chapter itself is

You might have noticed, I rebranded and did some tweaking to "Odyssey". The first "prologue" chapter is up, though I guess it's not technically a true prologue, but rather more of a lore-filled intro. I don't want to get people's hopes up yet, so I'm not going to commit to a full structured release schedule yet, but expect infrequent updates that are made up of the original chapters but heavily reworked and adjusted. When I first set out to write this story, I was very inexperienced and

So I'm going to preface this by saying that the point of this blog post is to gauge interest on whether this story should continue or not, and how that should go if I do. If you like the story and just want to see it continue then please let me know below. If you want to read into more of my thoughts on it and get an explanation for *why* it's been on hiatus for so long, then feel free to read on.

So I’ve been kicking around ideas for the story in the background, and it’s been ranging from giving the whole thing a huge top down refresh, shelving it for now, or something else entirely. I think I’ve decided on the something else entirely route. As was originally planned, the story would have three acts and serve as one long story. Right now my thought it ending it where it’s currently at, giving it a lot of polish and love, and then starting act 2 right where the current story ends, but as

Alright, so it’s no secret that “Do Ponies on Earth Have Magic Dreams?” Is my current passion project and main priority, and as a result one of my other projects, “Stardust” has kind of been pushed onto the back burner. That story was another passion project, but it’s also a vastly different kind of story that’s proven to be a valuable learning experience. It’s also a story that winds up getting put into hiatus often for various reasons, a lot of which stem from wanting to really give it the

Surprise, two story updates in a day! I wanted to work on Stardust some more and try and give it some more love. It’s still a huge learning experience and I’m trying to find the best ways to convey what I need to convey, so I did things a little differently with this chapter and tried some new stuff out.

So, with the newest New Horizons chapter completing the whole "Arcade" arc, New Horizons will probably see a gap in updates for a little while while I plan out the next major arc. In turn, that means I'm going to start working on Stardust again. As the title of the blog post states, I'm looking for someone that could help with pre reading and editing. Stardust is a large scale learning experience for me, and there's definitely things I need to work on that I'm struggling with.

So the planets have aligned and I’ve managed to finish chapters for both New Horizons and Dreamers (Do Ponies on Earth Have Magic Dreams?). I enjoyed writing both chapters, and I can’t wait to get them out tomorrow. New Horizons will probably wind up back on hiatus so I can better plot out the next leg of the story, and that means that Stardust will likely re enter the update cycle. I don’t have any idea on when that’ll be out, but I’m overly optimistically hoping for a late September Release,

So I’m going to more or less get straight to the point with this one. I’ve been writing for around two years now, and I struggle with getting any kind of regular comments on the majority of my stories. It’s starting to get to me a lot more than it used to, and I really just need feedback. Writing is my way of relieving stress from my day to day life, and life’s been rougher than usual lately. As a result, I’ve been getting more attached to my writing than I usually am. I’ve been trying so hard

Every once in a while I'll write something and then just abruptly decide to cancel it before it's even been finished. I wound up writing something about dreams that was inspired by some personal thoughts and reflections along with my own dreams, and it's one of those stories that I was on the fence about publishing. So I'm going to compromise and post the first two (tiny) chapters here, and if people actually think it's interesting I might go back into it and work on it more-- make it something

We’re nearing mid month soon and I’m trying out something different with how I go about writing and releasing updates. Previously I would just work on whatever I wanted to work on and that led to me just ignoring some projects in favor of working on others, and I was really starting to feel like I wasn’t giving some of my stories the love they deserved. My new plan going forward is that each day is devoted to one of three stories. So for instance, Monday and Thursday is when I work on New

So someone shared the pony life trailer with me earlier and I figured it wasn't batty enough, here's this horrendous creation I willed into existence back when it first got teased :p

As far as I know this was the first bat pony OC that was drawn in the pony life style, I guess that's my mark on the fandom :D

So surprisingly life's been a little less hectic lately all things considered. I dropped my second job that I felt I was just wasting away in and wound up getting hired into a full time capacity at my current job that I genuinely really enjoy, so that's given me more time to enjoy my writing again. If you hadn't noticed already, I pulled Stardust off of hiatus the other day with a new, albeit small chapter, though I'm not sure how often updates will be going forward. During the hiatus I spent a

I’m sorry this is out of the blue, but real life stuff has been getting incredibly busy for me and I’ve been finding it hard to fit all my writing projects into the free time I have. I’ve been planning on some big chapters for Pandemic: New Horizons and that’s been eating up the free time I have for writing, so in the interest of really giving Stardust the love it deserves, I’m going to temporarily remove it from my regular update schedule. It’s not cancelled or anything, but I never wanted to

Just a quick status update, story updates are probably going to slow a little this month. I'm going on Vacation on the 21st and probably won't write much until I get back. New Horizons should see at least one chapter update, maybe two if I have the time to get it finalized and edited before I leave. I'm still chipping away at Stardust, but the next chapter is bigger than the rest so will likely see some delays so I can really nail it.

In this edition of “Behind the Scenes” we’ll be looking at Stardust’s early chapters and how it evolved from its earliest concepts and into the story we have today.

This one may be a bit more spoilery so fair warning.

Firstly, happy Halloween! _{the best holiday in my personal opinion}

If you didn't catch it, Stardust got a secret unplanned Midnight update. I hadn't planned to release one this month, but realized I had most of the chapter framed out and set up, so decided to take a break from my other main project and give it some attention. November should see another chapter release if all goes well.

I’m out on a little “field trip” today and wound up getting stuck in the back seat of a car for what will likely wind up being two hours. So naturally I figured “what better way to pass the time than write out some stuff for my stories!” This was in fact a good idea because I managed to finish up another Stardust chapter and push it out, and the long ride’s just blown by fairly fast so far. So today’s a bit of an odd day for me with two chapter updates, but hey there’s nothing wrong with being

Well summer's finally almost upon us, and with that come some changes.
