    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.

Eros in prereads; upcoming writing schedule + question for C&C readers · 3:55pm May 3rd, 2022

With Eros now scheduled for a Thursday night release, Harmonic Resonance is on deck, featuring Gilda’s favorite filly. And I believe after that, I’m going to grind out three straight chapters of Firefly to keep my promise of getting six out by summer, with possibly one chapter of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles thrown in the mix.

That accomplished, I’ll spend the summer mostly writing clop, trying to finish off Midnight Rising and Harmonic Resonance so I can focus on the climactic chapters of Nightmare Night for the fall, aiming to complete it or at least reach the epic denouement by Halloween. In other words, it’s my usual ambitious schedule, though I’ll throw in an occasional entry for Firefly or Feathered Hearts to keep things honest and give myself a break from clop.

As for Eros, it’s weighing in at about 8100 words right now; the whole Midway movie scene will take at least two and possibly three chapters to fully describe. Me being me, expect a history lesson within it and Chris to speak for me. But don’t worry—the M-rated action is definitely not neglected!

I admit I’m even half-tempted to produce a sanitized T-rated version of the chapter for regular C&C readers so they can see how Gilda, Fortrakt and Giraldi took seeing the movie Midway without the adult action. Sound off in the comments if you’d like to see such a thing.

I'd like a T-rated version just because I think it would work well in the main story.

Agreed, though as a recollection, so as not to require renumbering of chapters...

Very well. I think I can find a way to slip it in as a (sanitized) flashback later, where Fortrakt relates what he recalls the movie and very carefully leaves out all the M-rated activity that accompanied it.

I'm gonna read both just to let you know but I think a flashback is fine if you think it works and it's not too much work for you.
