    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 on Firefly continues · 8:42pm Mar 18th, 2020

After two quick chapter releases. it’s once again a question of momentum--I have it, so let’s continue with it. Hope you folks enjoyed the two chapters in 5 days! Coming attractions? Well, for starters, the gryphons ready their renewed offensive while back in Cloudsdale, Typhoon isn’t done with Thunderbolt yet and engages in negotiations with the Nightborne on behalf of the Princess. If I’m particularly ambitious, It’ll be time for another map as well.

I’d like to welcome all new readers to the story--to both stories, I should say, as both Before the Storm and Into the Storm got at least three new likes--and thank everyone who commented. Needless to say, plenty more is yet planned and major battles lie ahead. Can’t say when the next chapter will be ready but I’ll aim to have it done before month’s end.

Awesome news, and I can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter!

FimFic is absolutely helping me through this corona BS, thanks for helping out with our Firefly fix! :rainbowwild:

Assuming a 2% universal kill rate along with a 100% infection rate of every man, woman and child, COVID-19 can be expected to kill 200 million people globally in the first wave alone. The sooner people grasp this, the sooner we can take the actions necessary to defeat Coronavirus.

I don’t believe those assumptions are valid. I think we’re going to find a much lower fatality rate when all is said and done for how many mild cases were never reported. And I can pretty much promise it ain’t gonna infect everyone on the planet in the first wave, either. Warmer weather, travel bans, ‘social isolation’ and an uncertain saturation level will determine much how damage it will actually do.

None of which is to say I don’t think it’s serious, just not as serious as they’re saying. But what I think is meaningless, except insofar as I choose to take the proper precautions. The next few weeks to months will tell the tale.

Keep up the rad work, okay?
And stay safe.

Those were worst-case scenario numbers.

>10 billion humans
> 100% infection
> 2% Mortality Rate
> No immunity

Oh, and stay healthy. Given everything going on
