New Story, Chapters 5-8 (Patreon)

Words

Okay, this is becoming an actual problem.  It's been two months and I haven't ben able to actually come up with a name for this story!

(Untitled)

Twilight Sparkle is a bit underwhelmed with her ascension to alicornhood, and after a disastrous coronation ceremony it becomes clear that she just doesn't measure up.  With all that she seems to be missing, couldn't somepony else do the job just as well? Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer seem to think so.

Other nonsense

That said, this month was actually better than it looks at first glance. On the one hand, yes, it's another 10k month (though at least this time it's ACTUALLY 10k+), but on the other hand, it's a 10k month wherein I completely relearned how to type.

Sort of.

I switched to a new ergonomic(ish) keyboard this month and took the opportunity to also switch to Colemak Mod-DHm.  It isn't the first time I've done either of these things, but it's always a painful experience regardless.

Given that, managing 10k in this situation isn't bad.  I've been doing my best to write more regularly rather than cram it all in at the last minute and my greatest struggle is still actually posting what I write as I write it.  Remember that short period last year when I was starting Sharing the Nation and I was so sure that 20k months would be a given from then on because I was writing every day? I really need to get back into that mindset!
