    Black Feather Project Update

    The last month has been pretty crazy. My dog got a massive bladder infection and I had to spend $2000 on vet bills to get an ultrasound and all the nonsense that goes with that, all to get a prescription for $30 worth of medicine to fix the situation. Been kinda busy with that as well as upcoming holiday planning, etc.

    One more rewritten chapter

    Hey everyone.

    Well, that last chapter took 3 weeks of hard work, mostly design, but nobody has commented on it so I can't tell how anyone feels about the story so far. I'm hoping people can share their thoughts because it helps me to know how the story is being received.

    More new characters

    I've recently finished a scene where Dinky gets to know one of the platoon members. I find Dinky's POV to be fascinating to write, though all the Dinky POV scenes will be brand new content (for you old fans out there) because Dinky wasn't previously written into this part of the story. She's a fun character to see the world through. Innocent and naïve, happily venturing into things that

    Alright, it's time for a shift of tone.

    I had a pretty long chat with Duvet yesterday, and we decided that chapter eleven really does need a thorough rework from the 2018 version. This is the last of what I'd call my "weak writing". Chapters 12-21 are pretty much perfect, so if I can fix 11, this is going to mean great things for the story.

Chapter Six, and a New Editor · 1:49am Nov 30th, 2016

It's time for some news!

Chapter six is being prepared for publishing, but I need to make an announcement about how that is coming along. About a week ago, I've taken on a new editor, OrionWolf. His expertise is in high detail, fleshing out the visuals of a scene. And he's really good at it. This is probably the one remaining major aspect of storytelling which Nightmare Nyx has been lacking. Orion will be working with me to drastically improve the visual quality of the prose.

This has created somewhat of a problem with the publishing plan for chapter six. See, chapter six is over 14,000 words long. It is, by far, the longest chapter in the entire story. And it was pretty much at, or slightly exceeding, the standards of the rest of the story so far. A whole lot happens in chapter six. This is, as they say, where shit gets real. So I'm super excited to show it to you all. But being that the chapter is so long, it requires a lot of work to make it as good as it needs to be.

Orion is presently helping with this. The effort is going to massively improve the chapter, but it's also going to mean I'm missing the publishing plan where I was going to release it on the 1st. So hold onto your saddles, boys and girls, because this is going to be a treat. Just a bit later than some of you may have been expecting.

Enjoy your Christmas present!! :twilightsmile:

Quick update on the progress of things. We've been hard at work all month editing the next chapter to be published. It's nearly done! There are some finishing touches that must be done, though. It's a very long chapter, so this is more work than we expected.
