    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.

Nightmare Night chapter releases begin tomorrow · 7:25pm Feb 15th, 2020

And with it comes a question for readers.

I have four clop chapters ready for release and two more in progress, with yet another that is to be guest-written by good friend and prereader AJ_Aficionado, at least in part. So plenty of content is incoming. As you can see, the finished chapters are already lined up and ready for launch:

However, I’m now thinking of releasing chapters every two days instead of every day, to make sure more readers are caught up and don’t fall behind. The pattern with Nightmare Night has tended to be that reads and comments get spread out over the first 2-3 days, and I’m worried that daily releases--even for shorter chapters like these--will lose some of those.

People just tend not to comment on earlier chapters if newer ones are available, even if they haven’t read the earlier ones yet. Making the interval two days would hopefully alleviate that, and also allow me the time to have 2-3 more chapters ready in time for release, keeping up the pace for the better part of two weeks. Regardless, there’s a ton of new content incoming, all very adult. As you can probably tell from the chapter titles, griffons are going to figure into this for the first time, but don’t worry--the rest of our corrupted cast isn’t forgotten! And neither are the potential saviors of this story.

So I leave it to all of you: do you want these chapter releases every day, or every other day? Chime in via the comments. And please do comment on the chapters themselves upon release!

My vote is for 1 chapter every other day.

chapter releases every day!

Doesn't matter to me, I'm waiting until the story is finished before I read it.

2 days can be. Probably won't even have time to read them right away.

Team Deuces is up 2-1! :pinkiehappy:

The vote was 2-1 in favor of every other day, sorry. :ajsleepy: And in all honesty, it's easier on me at this pace and will allow me to release at that rate for longer, getting more chapters written and lined up to keep it up for a couple weeks.

Every two days it is. If you can't get to it immediately, that's fine. Your comments are always appreciated whenever they arrive. Hope you enjoy, regardless!

Sorry to hear, as I enjoying running commentary from readers on chapters as they're released Regardless, the story will be completed this year.
