June Calendar

Hey pones! Brief one this week, not a lot changing, so I'll be brief.

Last month I had hoped to post New Way Home to fimfiction, but decided to hold off a little longer so it could get more art. It's one of those stories that's probably going to have art in most chapters--but doing this requires lots of lead-in. Apologies for the wait, but it will come eventually. All those patreon stories will make it to fimfic eventually.

Other than that, the biggest change here is that book 2 of the Forerunner's Child series ended last month, and now we're going through the third one. The kids completed their space mission, and now they're off to do... well, I guess it would be a spoiler. They're on an adventure!

Quarantine continues as the only regular fimfic story right now. Surreal feeling, but maybe not that strange after so long. I've written so many stories on this site, so many different TFs and adventures and science fiction invasions and more. It's how the orange part of my calendar keeps growing. There's only so many derivatives of the same subjects I can write before I feel driven to broaden the base left for me to draw from. Is that weird?

Of course I've got a few more stories to tell. Maybe a lot more, I dunno. I never would've believed I would still be writing these a full decade after I started.

Most of the actual news I have isn't pony related. I'm absolutely thrilled with how the first original book launch went, and especially grateful to anyone who took the time to leave a review. I turned that little book into a whole series (again, that's already written). The second book will release the first of next month. Cover might give a bit of a hint of what it's about, lol. Optimistic, cozy scifi. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F6MC1BBK

But I'll not waste a ton of time, I know many people only care about my ponies, and I respect that. One blog post for you to ignore, and I'll not harp on the book. I had planned on a retrospective when the book was out, but the more time I think, I'd rather do it with the whole series. I'm doing a book every 2 months, so that shouldn't actually take that long. I'd like to see how retention is, if some of the old adages about publication are true. (like "the best advertising for your book is writing the next one")

And heck, if the series goes nowhere in terms of career, I'll only be a little sad. I'm really proud of the story I told, my best work yet.

But as I said, not a lot of news this week. I'm headed to Japan for much of July, so maybe in August I'll have some things to talk about there. It's a research trip obviously, where no one will have any kind of fun. Strictly business.

Anyway, thanks for indulging me in this little diversion. I know Fimfic is pony site, and I feel bad I don't have as much time to write ponies anymore. If we never grew up, maybe I'd have the time to keep going, writing a bunch of pony that I didn't think I ever could. Crap I wrote that already. :3
