    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.

    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,

Feathered Hearts: C&C - initial release complete · 4:24pm Mar 23rd, 2021

Well, after putting on a massive push over the past week to get Feathered Hearts launched and then refreshing my browser about every thirty seconds for three days straight to look for new likes and comments, it's time to let that simmer for a bit while I head back over to work on Midnight Rising. But before I do, I did want to welcome and thank all new readers of the story for dropping likes and comments, and give a shout-out to the dozens of new watchers who came to me from the original Feathered Heart to await the continuation.

So what does the future hold for Feathered Hearts? Well, there is going to be a second, and likely a third bonus chapter before I resume work on editing the existing stuff. Reason being, I believe it will take three chapters to finish off this little story arc I've started and fill in the time gap between chapters three and four of the original story. I know folks are probably eager to get to the Cloven, but I will ask you to indulge me and let me take the time to do this right. There are a couple things I really want to set up and deal with, first.

When the continuation is reached, I know roughly the course the story will take, and its conclusion--if you want some hint of what may happen and who might be seen, note the character tags on the story--and there's even an idea regarding the Hall of Heroes that's sorely tempting me that I don't yet know if I can pull off.

But all that lies in the future. For now, may it be enough that the story of Feathered Heart is reborn, and I promise that I will do it justice to the best of my ability.


EDIT: I removed the middle half of this, as I decided I was just being obnoxious by advertising my other stuff. My apologies to anyone who took offense.

I admit that I hadn't even looked at the tags before. Interesting. Very interesting. If the Cloven are anything like the source they are based on, I can definitely see the need for some big horns and wings if things progress badly.

I won't say more for now, but consider it a little foreshadowing. :coolphoto:

I'm guessing the Cloven are based on the Zerg from Starship Troopers given how often that movie was referenced in the original, but I never saw it. I'm planning to watch it later as I get into later chapterss. Based on what I'm familiar with, I think they either take after the Flood in HALO, or more recently, the Grimm in RWBY.

I'm nearly certain they're based on Codex Alera and the Vord.

I see. Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with that at all. I’ll study up before we hit the Cloven chapters.
