    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.

An enormous milestone that the release of the companion story, Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night helped it reach. So a huge thank-you to all readers, both old and new! This is easily my most successful story, and one I immensely enjoyed writing. Yes, I have promised additional bonus features and a Shadowbolt-centered sequel, and be assured they are not forgotten. It seems unlikely I can get to the latter this year, but I will aim for late winter or spring of next.

If nothing else, during this month I do plan to give the story a fresh editing pass and take care of some issues I previously said I would. I will let folks know when they happen. I also might at least attempt to release a bonus chapter in time for its two-year anniversary in mid-December, and if so... you will definitely hear about it.

In the meantime, for fans of fillyfooling and well-written mare-on-mare clop, you are invited to check out longtime friend and prereader AJ_Aficionado’s latest offering. Foolers Rush In is a story of flower ponies and fillyfooler bars, unrequited love and self-discovery, saving friends and saving the universe in roughly that order.

I edited it and can vouch for it. He’s been a good and loyal friend, so give it a look and some love. In the meantime, thanks again, and if you haven’t checked out Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night yet, what’s keeping you? :raritywink:
