    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.

    Prereader verdict on new Midnight Rising chapter is in...

    And unfortunately, that verdict is unanimous:

    Complaints were: too meta, hard to follow, does nothing to advance the plot, and potentially makes things worse while trying to fix them.

    Still waiting on Midnight Rising prereads...

    Which are particularly important this time, because the first preread I got back was negative. As it came from AJ_Aficionado, whose opinions I particularly value mostly because he’s more interested in the story than the sex, I tend to give what he said about it credence but still want to hear from everyone else before I start making changes to the new chapter.

And they demand I write more Firefly! :rainbowdetermined2:

Poll - What would you like me to work on next?

Midnight Rising:				8 votes
Nightmare Night - story climax:			6 votes

So be it, folks. You want it, you got it. :coolphoto: The next Firefly chapter is underway, with Feathered Hearts as second priority for now. I’ll aim for a chapter release within two weeks, then continue with it but also mix in some work on Feathered Hearts after.

To those of you who came aboard to read Feathered Hearts but haven’t read my Firefly series yet? I strongly recommend you do so. It tells the story of the Great Pony/Gryphon War that gets mentioned frequently even in the original Feathered Heart through the eyes of Firefly, ancestor of Rainbow Dash and founder of the Bolt Knights (later the Wonderbolts). I will say without any humility it is one of the best, if not the best, military thrillers and war epics on site, and it’ll also tell the story of such characters as Thunderbolt or Gavian Ravenoff that have been mentioned here in Feathered Hearts.

It’ll show exactly what I can do with duel and battle scenes, and the skill I’ll eventually turn towards the Cloven War. Hope to see you there!

And if that’s not enough to tempt you, how about the fact that I like to spice up my battle chapters with maps and diagrams?

One minor complication is that work has severely picked up right now and we’re under heavy pressure to get a release done before the end of the month. That may bite into my time and ability to write, but if so, I’ll let folks know. For now, I’m aiming for a release on or around June 24th.

I voted for mature content on Nightmare Night - was not disappointed in the slightest. Looking forward to more Firefly!

Your darn tootin it is! I've had thirty years of military experience and you have me riveted to this story! Your insight serves you well...carry on!
