    Feathered Hearts C&C chapter 40 will launch tonight

    I apologize for the long delay. The chapter draft was submitted to prereaders a month ago and well-received, but the graphics have taken me a while and several false starts. The main reason is I tried multiple methods to include unit icons in the maps of Aresia, but the end result always seems more cluttered than anything else. Here's an example:

    Without unit icons:

    New Midnight Rising chapter off to prereaders...

    At long last. This is the redo of the chapter I was forced to scrap in April and then about 80% rewrite. I saved a few select bits and pieces from the original version, but the rest went by the wayside.

    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. And as for Feathered Hearts?

    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.

When Muses Attack... · 8:11pm Dec 10th, 2021

All you can do is surrender to them and let them have their way with you. But that’s very much to the benefit of readers.

I finished the second Feathered Hearts transition chapter last night, which now tops the scales at 11.5k words, and then charged right into the third one this morning, putting down the first 3200 words on it. This third one ends with the start of the Cloven attack. Expect a rollercoaster within it including some serious mood swings.

I’ll release a teaser later, but I’m working so quickly--the words are just flowing right now--that I think there’s a decent chance I may actually be able to finish the third chapter this weekend. If so...?

If so, you’ll start getting the three new new chapters this coming weekend, with the first out on Sunday. After that, expect one every 2-3 days, ending with the appearance of the Cloven. And after that? Well, this has come so quickly that I can either keep working on it, or maybe go back to Eros and write a couple new chapters there in time for Xmas.

Hey, when the words keep coming, ride the flow. Looking forward to seeing what washes up.

FINALY! It will be a glorious chapter about the dread of war and why every war is not about winning but losing the least...
War never decided who was right. Only who was left...

It's writing like you'r that inspired me to release storys of my own. You'r a great inspiration. :raritystarry:

That's an awesome pre christmas gift! Right when I have holidays!!
Thank you Firesight!

When you are the conduit for it is amazing how much can pour forth.

I'm excited that even more will be waiting under tree for me later this month when I finally have time to sit down and enjoy a good read.

My thoughts exactly. It’s fun when they just flow out of you like that. Believe me, that doesn’t always happen. In fact, it’s much more the exception than the rule.

There will certainly be losses here, including some quite keenly felt. :ajsleepy:

War never decided who was right. Only who was left...

So goes the saying, but I tend to disagree a bit with that. War has reshaped societies and altered the course of history many times. Is there such a thing as a good war? No, but there are necessary ones, in my view. And when you fight them, you fight to win them. If we’ve lost sight of anything over the past eighty years, it’s that.

It's writing like you'r that inspired me to release storys of my own. You'r a great inspiration. :raritystarry:

Why thank you! Just as DEL inspired me, It warms my heart to know I’ve inspired others in turn. Best of luck in your own writing endeavors!

You said it. It’s a wondrous feeling when it happens, writing so effortlessly. Believe me, it’s not always that way. In fact, like I said up top, it usually isn’t. Muses can be notoriously fickle things.

I'm excited that even more will be waiting under tree for me later this month when I finally have time to sit down and enjoy a good read.

Three chapters will be posted this week. Enjoy and I look forward to hearing what you think of them! :coolphoto:
