Rise of Firefly: Second Offensive - Chapter 5 draft complete · 9:06pm Jun 28th, 2021
It’s with prereaders now, delayed by my workload, which has resulted in nearly 40 extra hours worked over the past two and a half weeks--and I damn well better get some comp time for that! Unfortunately, even when prereaders finish with the new chapter, it’s not ready yet--I still have to make some graphics and do song selections for it, which will take some time. So I ask your indulgence for a little longer. It may be a week, or it may be less, but the new chapter release is coming.
The new chapter currently stands at 11.5k words, and given what usually happens in my editing passes, it’ll probably be at 12.5k words when all is said and done. A nice meaty chapter, and for those of you ready for battle scenes again, this chapter will deliver the story’s first combat action of the Equestrian Army at a breakneck pace.
Prereaders so far seemed pleased with it, as am I. But because it’s so fast-paced, graphics will be critical to understand its course. It’ll take me a couple evenings of work, at least, to make them in Photoshop, and evenings where I’m free have been scarce of late. We’ll have to see how this week goes...
PS: And for those looking for more Feathered Hearts, I did start into the next main story chapter today, putting down the first 1000 words on it. So that’s on the way as well.
We're braced and ready for an Onslaught of Words!
Out of curiosity, any progress on Dominion Academy?
I love how much Rock Biter reads like a laundry list of my writing habits from the mid to late 2010's!
Can't wait to leave a comment on it.

Fitting, since he was your invention!
Your two throwback longposts were very much appreciated!

Unfortunately, no.
I haven’t touched that in a while. It’s very hard to get motivated when there’s no feedback on it. Understand, I want to finish it, but I can’t without stopping all my other writing for many months. If I could clone or install a multithreading processor in my brain to be able to work on multiple projects simultaneously, I would.
All I can say for now is, I haven’t forgotten in and do intend to finish, but it’s just not my first priority right now.
