First of all: thank you to all my watchers who are still watching!
Second: more or less a copy paste of last years journal.
I haven't had much inspiration to work with this last year. People liked the armors and that was alot of fun, but after that things just went flat line.
I've however spent a lot of time plotting out the stories that I've had in my head for the better part of two years. I've also begun writing on the first part, but it is a slow process that drains alot of my energy since I'm not a native english writer/speaker. So far I've written around 10.000 words (not counting the ~10.000 words I wrote some time ago that has to be either discarded or rewritten), and the main story has barely even begun O_o
I've rewritten the first part a good many times, adding to or improving the flow. This constant reviewing has however improved my writing skills a lot and I am getting more confident with each passing session.
The scope is... huge. It more or less segues from one storyline to the next, extending over 3-4 main stories. The stories (so far) revolve around the mane six and Spike, the royal sisters, Nightmare Moon, one main pony OC, two main dragon OC's, a bunch of new bad guys (Infernal Darkness included) and a lot of forgotten history.
Question is if I can pull it off? Or is it even interesting enough for anyone to read?
Anyways, the first part is circles around the weird OC Meat Pony who ends up in Ponyville in a cliché kind of way. But it ends up being a cliché with a twist
I think the fun part about Meat Pony is the way people have reacted to her appearance here on dA and elsewhere, with her appearance being very different from the majority of OCs I've seen. There is a hate/love attitude that I hope can add to the story.
I won't bore you with more details about the story here, but if you are interested, feel free to ask.
"Thank you, please come again!"
Happy new easter?
So I missed new year by a couple of months, big whoop! :)
Anyways, still writing on that story that's seemingly all over the place. A once simple idea has turned into a literal spider web of characters and plots. Why? Because I'm apparently not putting anything into my story without proper reason.
I'm currently at a point in the story that I thought I'd be at years ago. And dare I say it is the end stretch? Even more mindboggling is that the story takes place over a couple of days/weeks and yet it feels like years because I've been writing for so long!

Time flies
I scoff and sigh at myself. Where does time go I wonder. And why am I not done yet?
This part of the story I'm writing now has grown way out of proportion and I'm just tagging along to se where it goes. While extremely long and tedious to write at moments, the end of this "chapter" is finally closing in. Amazing how a part of a story can evolve from something meant to be a small hint to a major plot. At this point it is two stories in one happening simultaneously. I'm just hoping I can manage to keep it all coherent with all the twists and turns happening. I might be shooting myself in the foot repeatedly, but we'll see :)

Never ending story
Well, another year has passed.
I'm still working on that story you barely know anything about. 184790 words and 383 pages and counting. Been stuck on the latest chapter forever which alone is nearly 25000 words so far. Might have to split it up at some point.
Anyways, here is a little something about the story if you're interested:
So far there has been a lot of foundation building and mystery building concerning not only Equestria and the world before, but also an alternate dimension where malevolent monsters dwell. Long kept secrets are slowly being unraveled as the princess sisters find themselves fighting battles on multiple fronts. Ce
Obligatory journal entry
New year huh? Well that went fast.
Haven't really touched any art at all since my last journal entry. My mind has been completely focused on my story 99% of the time, and it still is. I've doubled the word count to a total of 137.000 lovely words, filling 290 pages and spanning across 49 shorter chapters due to a bit och back'n'forth hopping between characters and places. But the story is not done yet, though it is slowly getting towards the end... of part one :P
So, what have you guys been up to?

As long as you keep doing something every year, and don't just disappear out of nowhere, I am more than happy ^_^
If I would actually be able to write, I'd love to write a story. Just don't have the skills to make it readable... Oh well, can't do everything, wouldn't have time to live anymore then.
