    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.

Work Continues on Firefly · 8:38pm Nov 13th, 2019

Following Monday's chapter release. As I seem to have some strong momentum on the story, I'll continue working on it in lieu of Nightmare Night for now.

The next chapter will pick up right where the last one left off, and I'll be drawing some inspiration from certain scenes belonging to a certain famous captain of a certain famous 1980s/90s sci-fi series for it. You'll also start to get some hints about what injustice Firefly thinks was done the gryphon side, though its full telling cannot be done until deeper into the war. A revelation the gryphons offer in return can be explained before too long, however.

Also know that I'm going to be commissioning some artwork of this story; of certain scenes and characters. More information will follow in due course as soon as I can determine what exactly I want there.

Nothing else to say at this point, except thanks as always to everyone who read and commented!

I'm so happy with how the thestrals have evolved since the early days. A comparison drawing inspiration from Star Trek isn't wrong at all. At this point, there is something kinda Trek about them with the vague loyalties, mysterious unspoken powers and a sense of destiny to play a significant role in the unfolding story. I can't wait to read through your next google doc and all the ones after that!

Interesting perspective :duck:
I definitely wouldn't have noticed something like that unless it was heavily spelled out for me :rainbowlaugh:, so thanks for the heads up!

I'm open to doing something for the art bit. Really enjoying this epic saga. Keep in touch.
