    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.

Personal and Story Updates... · 5:44pm Aug 10th, 2016

Well folks... I apologize for taking so long to get the next TLaTU chapter out, but it's for a good reason.

I've got myself a new job! :yay: After deciding it was time to move on from my current job over the July 4 holiday, I posted my resume and got a lot of interest on it. So I interviewed at a new place three weeks ago, got a verbal offer from them two weeks ago and finally passed the background checks this week, getting my formal offer and official start date with it.

The new place is about a mile from my current one, but with a 10% raise, so definitely a step up. My last day at my current position is Friday, and then I get a couple weeks off before starting at the new place. Time I intend to use to relax and mentally reset, maybe even travel again (another Vegas run, perhaps?). However, the job search and interview process has been consuming me of late, so I haven't had as much mental energy for writing. Not to say I haven't--the new TLaTU chapter currently stands at 8200 words and may be upwards of 12,000 before all is said and done. Be advised, it will be a VERY adult chapter, with multiple scenes told through the context of the trial. :pinkiegasp: I think the trial and overall story's due for one, don't you? :twilightsmile:

There are still a couple large sections to finish, including the core sequence. No preview this time, because I'd rather everyone get it full force when it posts, most likely next week. Be looking for it!

Complete agony waiting for the clop scene as a pre-reader, but it will be worth it, lads. :moustache:

Good stuff. Landing a new job with a raise and still in your area, assuming your old one was, is quite a coup.

Congratulations on getting a new job!

Meanwhile, over at the Five Stars camp

But seriously though, congrats on the new job.

Congrats on the job~

Good God. New job? About bloody time! Good one, mate. It's all good, I hope. Call me over should you need anything on the new story.

ohhh boy!:pinkiehappy::twilightoops::twilightblush:
