    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.

Firefly and Feathered Hearts releases in rear view mirror... · 6:41pm Jul 7th, 2021

Thanks to all who read and a warm welcome to those who came aboard! Please comment, folks, as I’ve seen only one so far on the new Feathered Hearts chapter as of this blog post.

With those releases behind me, the question, as always, becomes what to work on next. I believe I’m going to continue splitting my efforts between them for the time being, as Firefly deserves some more attention after having languished for five months, especially as we near the four-year anniversary of its launch on September 1st.

Coming Firefly attractions (in addition to the continuing action of the Equestrian Army) include the Captain Typhoon/Nightborne negotiations paired with a check-in with the Highborne, the confrontation the following day between Fell Flight and Firefly, and the second part of the Changeling exodus chapter started by the departed and sorely missed Denim_Blue. The last one is going to be difficult for me to write, because that was his lore and not mine. But I’ll do my best, and also bring Lyco into the main story in due course.

As for Feathered Hearts, I admit to waffling on whether I can proceed directly into editing the original chapters again or if there should really be one final new chapter to complete the transition back first, showing what happens when the rest of the gang wakes up from their cider-induced slumber. I’m leaning towards the latter right now, but I’ll have to think about it a little more first.

Whatever comes next, I’ll aim to have a new chapter ready within three weeks--work permitting. And yes, I will do another side story chapter before too long, but probably not right away, as my mindset is more geared towards non-clop, at least for now.
