    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.

August Outlook: TLaTU revamp and Firefly · 6:18pm Aug 2nd, 2019

Just wanted to let everyone know that in the first half of the month, I'm going to start a revamp of The Lawyer and The Unicorn, giving it the same attention and treatment I gave Turnabout Storm last year. That means edits, cleanup, fixes, and even the possibility of some new content.

I don't have any solid plans for it right now save that I'm going to attempt to sanitize the T-rated version a bit more after getting some recent criticism on it. The M-rated version is what it is--part high-stakes Ace Attorney case and part crossover clopfic--though I may try to address some concerns I've heard. I'm not ultimately changing its essence, because I simply like the way it turned out.

In the second half of the month, I'll be returning to Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly in advance of the September 1st two-year anniversary of the story, with some scene-setting and transition chapters before we hit the next phase of the story. Among other things, it'll be time for both sides to lick their wounds and check in with the bat-ponies to see how they react to news of the Gryphon invasion.

And lest I forget... for those of you haven't heard, I released a new story last night--one inspired by the HBO series Chernobyl. Set in the Phoenixverse, I ask a simple question: what would happen if, on a future visit to Earth, Celestia decided to take Twilight to Chernobyl without telling her why or what happened there, wanting her to deduce the story on her own?

How would Twilight react? And what would Celly's purpose be in bringing her there? Here's the answer:

EThe Best and The Worst
Twilight Sparkle has seen some of the best of humanity during her visits to Earth. Now it is time she sees some of the worst...

EDIT: I neglected to mention that Leo Archon has already started into the next Firefly chapter, so it is possible that even without my efforts, one could come to fruition sooner rather than later. Thanks, Leo!

What Firesight isn't mentioning is that I've already begun work on the next chapter, writing a scene where Royal Naval Battle Group Capricorn and its passengers receive new orders.

With apologies, you are quite correct. I neglected to mention that and I should have. :ajsleepy: I've added an edit to that effect in the blog post.

Write on and revise on friend :)
