    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,

    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.

    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.

Nightmare Night Chapter 13 launches this weekend · 4:53pm Dec 14th, 2018

it will launch no later than Sunday, or sooner if I get prereads back in time.

As often seems to be the case, I did the final few thousand words in a flurry as I finally broke through whatever writer’s block I was experiencing all at once. Tentatively titled Thunderstruck, it’s 8000 words of gleefully gay action plus aftermath as well as the promised peek back at things in Canterlot. No check-in with Starlight’s group this time as it would detract from the long-awaited and very climactic (pun intended!) Thunderlane sequence, but they’re definitely not forgotten!

No teaser this time, as I’d like it all to be a surprise--even the opening section, which sports a brand-new perspective; a pony who helps set the stage for the big scene. But trust me, it’s good. :rainbowwild: It’s with my prereaders now, and already gotten rave reviews even halfway through it. Since I have some momentum, I may try to get another chapter ready in time for Xmas, but I can’t promise it’ll be done by then. What I can promise is that we’re going to finish off both Spike and Rarity next; the latter in particular deserves some love considering the major role she has yet to play. How so?

Let’s just say that she will break the curse’s pattern in a very important and, for Eclipse, a very unexpected and unwelcome way. :twilightangry2:
