    Feathered Hearts C&C chapter 40 will launch tonight

    I apologize for the long delay. The chapter draft was submitted to prereaders a month ago and well-received, but the graphics have taken me a while and several false starts. The main reason is I tried multiple methods to include unit icons in the maps of Aresia, but the end result always seems more cluttered than anything else. Here's an example:

    Without unit icons:

    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.

Moving right along... · 7:10pm Sep 29th, 2020

Into writing the next Nightmare Night chapter, which is already 2k words long and growing. it's possible, if unlikely, it'll be ready for release this weekend, but a more likely timeframe would be the middle of next week. As promised, this one will shift scenes back to Canterlot to our converted thestralcorn friends in their assault on the Canterlot Castle Command Center, followed by the intervention of Luna herself. Funtimes are promised, and this should be a four-section chapter, with one sections reserved for the arrival of High Priestess Juniper Neptune at Ponyville, and a second for the immediate aftermath of the Canterlot action.

As always, more updates and possible teasers will follow as we get closer. For the record, I typically release a teaser if I think there's something in the chapter that can raise interest in it without giving too much away. Something there isn't anything like that, or I just decide readers should come in cold. As for this one? We'll see.

After this, there's a good chance I'm going to go back to Midnight Rising to write the Gilda-centered bonus chapter I keep talking about. There's just a scene I really want to do, doubly so after this past chapter where Night Owl and Shadowdash discussed her.

Thestralcorns! EEEEEEEeeeeeee! I can't wait to see Juniper Cutie in action!

More Gilda's always welcome. Shame they've never introduced her in the EQG show.

What aboy Day Guards? Will the have their time to shine, pun intended.
