    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.

    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.

300 Likes for Before the Storm! · 7:36pm Aug 28th, 2019

And that means it's time for an old promise to be kept. I don't recall when I made it, but it was suggested by a commenter or two a year or two ago that the story be turned into an actual book. I said I would if and when it hit 300 likes, and here we are!

I will have to do some research on how best to go about this, including speaking to those who have already released MLP books to find out about how they went about it since it seems unlikely I'd be able to self-publish through the usual clearinghouses like Amazon (which is where my anthro novel is) and other sites due to copyright issues. I would also have to commission some new art, design some new graphics for it, and then decide what the best means to market it is. The most likely scenario is that I order a set printing of books when I get enough interest and then disperse them myself.

For now, I'd just like to have some idea of who would buy the book if created and what interest level there might be. So sound off if you're interested, and we'll see about getting that particular ball rolling.

I'm most definitely interested! :raritystarry:

Hell yes! I'm also in a Discord that has a bunch of MLP book makers/fanatics they might be able to help you further with finding someone to print. Ebook Production Discord

Yes hi, am interested~

I'd definitely buy a copy. Either digital or physical, it doesn't matter to me.

I would certainly buy a copy of your books.

I'm not sure if this is any help but I know that Phoenix_dragon has his 3 changeling stories published this year. I personally think that they are great stories certainly if you like changeling stories.
