    New Midnight Rising chapter off to prereaders...

    At long last. This is the redo of the chapter I was forced to scrap in April and then about 80% rewrite. I saved a few select bits and pieces from the original version, but the rest went by the wayside.

    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

Update, or lack of it... · 10:09pm Mar 11th, 2016

Folks, I really have to apologize for my lack of new content and being out of contact over Skype. I have just not been a happy camper these past few weeks, and I'm simply not finding the energy to write or be social with. So what's going on? Work, primarily. For various reasons I've really had to knuckle down over the past month and it has taken a lot out of me. By the time I work, exercise and do dinner I am usually quite moody and just in no mood to do anything except veg out in front of my TV or computer screen and play games.

It's not that I don't have the desire to write, it's that I don't have the mental energy right now. I have ideas, but I can't seem to turn them into words right at the moment, which is not usually an issue with me. I'm not happy about this state of affairs and don't know how long it will last, but for now, that's the way it is. There are simply other things I have to attend to right now. You know how prolific I can be, and it is my hope I will find that energy again before too long. Unfortunately, over such things I have only limited control.

For the record, the next Lawyer and the Unicorn chapter is about half-done right now, thanks more to James CyberLink than to me. I will attempt to do some work on it this weekend, perhaps, after my long-neglected chores are done. So I ask for everyone's indulgence and understanding for now.

rather than force thing simply stop righting for a bit.
there are several vary good story's try reading and just relax.

So...crap.

You'd best take it easy.

...Do you need my help? I might be able to turn those ideas into story-words for ya. I have a LOT of free time as of now.

Life can be tough at times. Sometimes people aren't exactly who you think they are. Other times expectations placed upon you ascend to dizzying heights. And sometimes, people leave nasty comments.
In these times, we must remember one thing in particular: as long as we have friends to get us by, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome.
Rest easy, Firesight. I'm looking forward to your steady recovery.

This reminds me of the THREE WEEKS I was stuck working out of a different location. I was NOT that happy at all while I was stuck there.

You need some time doing all of the FUN things you like that you can do solo, and somewhere along the line do something extra-silly like initiate a pillow-fight at your parents house or something.

Stories are labors of love, so don't feel compelled to keep a schedule for updates. If need be, take some time to recharge your batteries and regain your writing passion

If there's anyone on the site that puts in more work at producing quality material, I've never heard of him. No apologies or indulgences are necessary on your part. We're just thankful to have you around. And hey, we all get burned out from work. 2015 was an absolute hell at work!

We'll be excited to have you back upon your return. :eeyup:

Keep going buddy.
