General Mono Updates

Hi everyone!

Thank you all for your patience with writing these past few months. As some of you know, I started grad school last year, and my first semester was very good but also incredibly difficult–both adjusting to school work, to writing original, and to coping with the brutal winter at my new home.

But! It’s a new year, and I’m adjusting better even if the cold and the snow and the gray days are still my bitter enemy.

Current pending pony projects are finishing a TELverse commission (first two chapters are already up, with one final one in the process of being finished) and then occasionally doing some one-shots while I finish pushing my boulders. I’ve been getting a lot more writing assignments at school, so while I’ve been writing a lot, a lot I can’t show? Or I guess I haven’t been posting because I’m not sure what the interest is in it. But it’s been fun! A lot of reading, a lot of writing, and to my great dismay, a lot of ‘god, why can’t I just shove a thinly-veiled Rarity into this’. I’ve not written her into ANY of my stories this semester, and I am very proud of myself for it LOLLLL

Anyway!

BOULDER 1 – COLORS OF THE SOUL REMAKE
This boulder is being pushed slowly but steadily. I am very excited about this, but it’s a long process, and it’s longer because I promised myself I would finish the entire story first before posting. This is kind of the reason my external input looks lower, because I’ve not been posting even though I have about 40k written of the story. Thank you for your patience <3 I am excited to finish and share it c:

BOULDER 2 – ENCHANTED ERA
There isn’t much to say here that isn’t please be patient. Unfortunately, TEra remains the hardest story I’m working on because of all the pressure I’ve put on the poor story, and it’s been a real struggle not to just cancel it. I won’t, because I don’t want to, but I’m being crippled by my fear of disappointing people, and it’s just been easy to keep avoiding it with school and colors and life. But I don’t want that!!! So I’ve just been focusing on remembering I’m writing this for me, and that it won’t be perfect, and that’s okay. It’s a little upsetting I feel this way, because I love TELverse so dearly (in fact, the only reason I accepted a commission was /because/ it was TELverse), but it’s coming. Even if at the end it’s only just me still there lmaoooo

I also wanted to let you all know I’m officially cancelling Travelers of Caelum. I am not happy with the direction of the story, and I miss writing Bodyguard!verse, and I told myself I wouldn’t touch it until Caelum was done, and I’m done lying to myself. I know this might be a little disappointing, but I hope you know I didn’t make this choice lightly.

School wise, I’ve been working on an original short story, as well as new Crimson Lips (for any newcomers, Crimson Lips was a multichapter humanized AU story loooooosely based of the movie Moulin Rouge! which is widely considered my best work by people who read it). Progress on Crimson is going well, and I’m hoping to turn it into my thesis. I”ll try and share more if I can once I’m further into the project.

Thank you as always to everyone still hanging around, and again, thank you for your patience with my output.

Mwaaaa
