    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.

Minor change to latest Firefly chapters and future plans · 5:20pm May 28th, 2020

As Silverblade5 pointed out, the duel between Gavian and Thunderbolt lasted considerably longer than five minutes. And though it's tempting to say that this simply happened on DBZ time, using their definition of five minutes (where it lasts eight episodes), I won't.

I recited the duel sections to myself with a timer running to figure out how long the fight lasted in real time, and came up with just short of ten minutes. So I've modified this last chapter and the one before it to state that. Instead of five minutes, Typhoon's technique now lasts for around ten minutes, and costs you ten days of pain. Poor Gavian. :ajsleepy:

All that said, this was a wildly successful and well-received chapter, for which I'm both relieved and grateful. My scheme to have this fight was honestly no less insane than Typhoon's, but I think I pulled it off in fine fashion. With no little help from my prereading friends. Thanks again, AJ_Aficionado and Denim_Blue!

As for going forward... I'll be leaving Firefly for likely a couple months to shift back over to Nightmare Night. In all honesty, I find I'm a bit burned out on Into the Storm after pushing six chapters in two and a half months, including two very difficult ones over the past couple weeks. But guest chapters are possible and perhaps even likely over that time, with AJA contributing more Highborne perspective and DB, the Changeling one.

Thanks for following the story yet again, and a warm welcome to new readers I've picked up during that time. Firefly will continue, but it's time to give my other active story series some attention.
