    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.

Casting Call for Rise of Firefly - Voice Actors needed! · 4:22pm Feb 22nd, 2019

Courtesty of BirdsBooksBrownies, who requested and received permission to put together an effort to do a voice reading of the first four chapters with the possibility of more in the future.

As you can see, a little money is being offered (by me) for this effort as well. The rates stated are per chapter the VA is needed and reflect the relative amount of dialogue he or she has. I'm planning to audition myself this weekend. If you're interested and would like to be in this, just sign up at the website and record a few of the lines.

As for the next chapter, it stands at 11,500 words and I've not been able to put a lot of work on it this week, mostly due to my day job being quite busy. Still have a section and a half to write, but I definitely think folks are going to like it. I intend to spend this weekend attempting to finish it and starting graphics for it. The latter will probably take the longest.

If the chapter gets too long, I will consider splitting it into two chapters, but for now, it remains just one. I don't mind big chapters for climactic scenes and battles.

Ooh, nice! I'll have to check it out :pinkiegasp:
Also, nothing wrong with a long chapter if the pacing fits. I've certainly read 20k word chapters before that worked just fine.
