    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,

    Midnight Rising update; Feathered Hearts C&C teaser...

    Hey, folks. Here’s my weekly writing update. I’m tagging this as C&C since that’s what the teaser below is about, but the blog is about both it and Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising.

Firefly chaper coming... · 12:49am May 30th, 2016

Within the next few days, most likely, and we will follow up with a second one soon. As we're at a proper point for it, these will be interlude chapters, telling the backstory of two future Bolt Knights, one directly and one indirectly. Who, you may ask...?


As has been said before, there are parts to this story that Captain Firefly cannot tell alone. She has therefore entrusted her quill to me for this chapter and the one following, that I might show how I came to be the mare I am, much as Blindside did earlier. This is my tale; the trials and tribulations I endured to get to where I am today. Be warned ‘tis not a happy story for the most part, but one I wouldst not trade for anything. It ultimately made me a better warrior and mare, one who wouldst serve my Captain and Princess well in many campaigns to come… not all of which wouldst take place on a battlefield.

Though this and the following chapter is mine, ‘tis the story of not just one, but two future Bolt Knights I will tell. The other is a mentor to me and many others, a pony I regret wouldst not live to write his own chapter in this tome. He, like so many others, wouldst fall in battle with the gryphons. A hero whose memory I now honor by living as he once told me he wished to…

By making my ultimate legacy one of life, not death.

Expect plenty of worldbuilding and some surprising revelations about both this other pony and thestral society in general. For those of you waiting for the next TLaTU chapters, I will go back to that after these two chapters are done. With apologies, those trial chapters are difficult and taking a lot out of me...

I am quite pleased by this.
