    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,

    Prereader verdict on new Midnight Rising chapter is in...

    And unfortunately, that verdict is unanimous:

    Complaints were: too meta, hard to follow, does nothing to advance the plot, and potentially makes things worse while trying to fix them.

Five Star Service Part 27 - Chapter Draft Complete! · 12:11am Mar 13th, 2017

That's right, folks. The second half of the great crossover involving a certain famous fictional lawyer is going to prereaders and currently tips the scales at 11,574 words. Will Five Stars get her man and first Gentleman? Or are his wounds simply too deep?

Or do you seriously think there's any answers to those questions other than the obvious ones? :ajsmug: It goes live as soon as all prereads are in, and without any teasers simply because this is the kind of chapter that needs to hit full force without any hint of what's to come. These final two chapters kicked my ass at times, but I persevered and finally figured out how this could and would work, and I'm quite pleased with what I came up with. After working on this for three-plus years, I'm sending this story out in style.

While you're waiting, a few questions to consider: How would they first introduce Gentleman for Mares... to mares? Who would be the first-ever Gentleman client, and who would she select and why? The answers to these questions will surprise you, but will be quite appropriate ones! And you will forgive me if I indulge in at least one Turnabout Storm reference as well...

It's coming and coming soon, folks. Expect the final full chapter to post no later than midweek. Hope you enjoy!
