    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.

Merry Christmas! Happy Hearth's Warming! · 2:24am Dec 26th, 2020

And for readers of Firefly, your presents are as follows:

1. The next Firefly chapter, tentatively titled Rock of Equestria, should be draft complete this weekend and be off to prereaders. Afterwards, I need to create the promised graphics before I release it. Total length will probably be around 9000 words or so as we start into the battles around Maresk and the struggles of the Equestrian Army to escape envelopment and bloody the gryphons a bit five days into the war.

2. For those who didn't read my previous blog post, the mods have granted me permission to try and finish Feathered Heart, as it seems that the author and Gentlemanverse father Demon Eyes Laharl is gone not just from fimfiction, but the entire internet. I've tried to contact him on Skype, google docs and his fanfiction account to no avail. As he seems to be no longer writing, I will be allowed to continue the story from where it left off and attempt to give it the ending it deserves. I will not be allowed to repost chapters of the old story to the new one, however. So this will be a major project for me in the coming year.

For those unaware, that was a Gentlemanverse-based war epic set in the present day, allying modern gryphons with US Marines to face and fight an ancient gryphon enemy called the Cloven of the Sun, which I've referenced repeatedly in my works. If you haven't read it, please do. It's a story that has no right to work, but does.

TFeathered Heart
The exploration of the Gryphon Kingdom and the love between a human and a griffin. While securing trade routes, Gilda reminisces how the humans arrive, the trials they face together, and the one who stole her heart. Set in the Gentlemanverse.

Hope everyone had a decent holiday, and more updates when available.

The maps are a ton of work to make but they set apart Firefly not only from the rest of your stories but all the other stories about war on Fimfiction. They make Firefly a deeply immersive experience.

Merry Christmas!

I couldn't agree more, the maps adds a special level of detail that I really respect.

I'm always glad to see updates to Firefly, and glad to see you taking the reigns on Feathered Heart as well.
Happy Hearthswarming! :twilightsmile:

Merry Christmas to you too!

Merry Christmas. Looking forward to the Feathered Heart continuation!
