    New Midnight Rising chapter off to prereaders...

    At long last. This is the redo of the chapter I was forced to scrap in April and then about 80% rewrite. I saved a few select bits and pieces from the original version, but the rest went by the wayside.

    Still pecking away on Midnight Rising and Feathered Hearts...

    The two Lemon Zest chapters of Midnight Rising have now reached 26,600 words and they’re still nowhere near done, with probably another 5-6k words to go. Gotta treat the girl right, after all, and also make sure there’s plenty of sexy side dishes around her. And as for Feathered Hearts?

    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

Merry Christmas! · 2:55am Dec 27th, 2019

Or a slightly belated Happy Holidays if you prefer. :twilightsmile: Currently writing this from my parents' place, where I typically spend Christmas. Heading home tomorrow after four days here, but before I go to sleep tonight so I can head out tomorrow--five hour drive home--I figured I'd give folks an Xmas update on things.

I've had at least a bit of a breakthrough, and the next Nightmare Night chapter is well underway, now standing at 4500 words. It'll be a while before it's ready given the holidays and my travel around it, but I finally figured out exactly how Eclipse deals with Nightmarity. I actually wrote myself into a bit of a corner with the last chapter when I had Eclipse proclaim that she knew how to purge The Nightmare from Rarity, but--full disclosure--I didn't actually have an answer at that point as to how. But after giving it some thought, I now know *exactly* how she does it, and it's perfect. Only hint I'll give is that it doesn't involve the Elements of Harmony.

More to look forward to? It's time for the CMC to meet Spike, and Spike and his entire new Brood to meet Eclipse. Things will come to a head between Eclipse and Nightmarity, Eclipse will test Cyber Belle, and Sunset/Sci-Twi will make plans with Delta Requiem. More adult action is also planned, including one major scene. When it will be ready? probably not for a couple weeks yet though I'll aim to have a completed draft by New Years. I don't expect my prereaders will be able to get to it quickly, though, given the tail end of the holidays. Best case scenario is probably the weekend after New Years, but we'll see what happens.

Whether you celebrate Christmas or something else, hope everyone's had a good holiday season, and be looking for some fresh content from me before too long. Firefly and Nightmare Night will continue into the New Year, with the latter aimed for completion this year. Seriously, I never did think it would end up being as long as it's gotten, but it's been a fun story to write. And I hope, to read.
