    Still pecking away on Midnight Rising and Feathered Hearts...

    The two Lemon Zest chapters of Midnight Rising have now reached 26,600 words and they’re still nowhere near done, with probably another 5-6k words to go. Gotta treat the girl right, after all, and also make sure there’s plenty of sexy side dishes around her. And as for Feathered Hearts?

    Still working on Midnight Rising...

    At the rate of about 800-1000 words a day. That’s my key to getting stuff done that’s causing you issues; just be sure you put at least a little time in on it this day to have some forward momentum. The two chapters are now up to 24,100 words. I’ll work on it more this weekend, at least around continuing work around the maps and battle graphics I’m making for Feathered Hearts.

    Did two things this past weekend...

    First, I ran 10k for the first time in two months after laying off that long to let my ankle bursitis subside, trying to allow the area to generally heal up. It appears that it worked. To my delight, there was no ankle pain after and I hadn’t even lost much stamina thanks to hitting an elliptical machine twice a week for an hour instead of jogging. My upper legs are another matter, though.

    C&C chapter 40 entering prereads tonight + teaser

    Much as I didn’t want to, I made the decision to break it up since the full length of the War Council meeting had exceeded 20,000 words and will probably approach 25k for the now-two chapters before all is said and done. The breakpoint itself will be between learning about the general war situation both Aricia and the Griffon Kingdom face, and then discussing what in all the Crows they’re going

    Midnight Rising/C&C update: April showers may bring May flowers...

    But of more interest is the emergence of 17-year cicadas in my area. Big, ugly, red-eyed insects that are the size of your thumb but basically harmless, as long as you can get past all the shed skins they leave behind on leaves and the everpresent and disconcertly loud background sound they produce as a mating call. Fortunately, the outbreak in my area seems pretty limited. There's a few around,

Change of plans · 2:08am Mar 12th, 2014

With apologies, the next Five Star Service chapter is going to be delayed a few days.

There are two reasons: after talking to a couple prereaders, including Demon Eyes Laharl himself, I'm now convinced the current version of the new chapter simply doesn't mesh well with the existing story and I need to modify a few things. I may save the current version for a side story, but this one will be changed a bit.

Second... for those of who don't know, I am also currently writing the Turnabout Storm novelization while the original author, whom I was editing the story for, is unavailable due to school. A new chapter was released today, and though I poured my heart into it and incorporated the feedback of my prereaders, it turned out to be somewhat controversial due to a couple different things that I ended up defending myself in the comments over. The bottom line is it took a lot out of me, and I just don't need another potentially stressful chapter release right now, especially for something I'm simply not sure would be received well.

So... I beg your indulgence for a few days more. I'm trying to get this right.

Good thing you don't need to do heavy editing on that point. Can't wait to see what you got.
