    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.

It would appear that I have been remiss... · 8:33pm Feb 16th, 2022

With regards to the Gabby/Gilda picture I posted in the previous C&C blog. I have been informed by Backlash91 that the art I clipped was originally commissioned for one of his stories, which I will post here:

I was introduced to the pic by the friend. I then found a link to it on Derpibooru, and there was no indication out there of what it was for. I just thought it was perfect for the coming chapter and would be an attention grabber. But apparently some people are now accusing me of stealing it even though I credited the artist and indicated where I found it.

Regardless, my apologies to artist Elicite and to Backlash91 for not crediting the pic fully. :ajsleepy: If I had known, I would have asked for permission to use it.

all clear, no worries. everything has been squared away! ^^

Appreciate you being so understanding! My apologies again.

I feel bad for Backlash91 who had to field all of those panicked comments. Look, I want the original artist to get his due as much as the next guy but let's be real clear: the internet is filled to the top with image files. Firesight is neither taking credit for this image nor monetizing its use. He is a private citizen sharing cool stuff on his blog. The people who bothered Backlash should feel very silly over this ordeal.

Might wanna hide the possible spoiler for the story.
