Happy new year 2024! 2023 was a great year for me overall, the first one in which I truly felt like a responsible adult. The two best things I accomplished that year were moving into my own house and attending GalaCon 2023, my first ever pony con.
In celebration of the new year, I've made a small change to my MLP episode reviews: they will no longer be exclusively posted on Friday mornings.
In the early days of this blog post series, when my episode reviews were short and quick, a weekly queue helped smooth out my workflow. But now, I haven't released new MLP posts two weeks in a row since March 2023. This means that the rule of releasing posts on Friday mornings only serves to make me put off starting my next post for the whole rest of the week. Now that my posts are more detailed and carefully written, it's better off to release them as soon as I've finished writing them.
Come to think of it, the original weekly system is similar to how my Homestuck post series began, way back in 2015, except I didn't have a queue system then. I originally wanted the posts to be weekly, but I switched to twice a week because I was writing them so quickly. Back then, it only took me a few hours to write a Homestuck post and I'd spend the next few days obsessively rereading it and proofreading. As my posts got more detailed, I tried various ways to keep a consistent schedule but they all fell apart. That's how it always is with projects of this type: when the posts get more detailed, the originally spacious schedule is too tight for them.
Enough off-topic rambling. My next MLP post will cover two episodes: Hard to Say Anything and Honest Apple, the latter of which I'm currently working on. It'll be released within the next few days!
