    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 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. They’re

    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.

    Prereader verdict on new Midnight Rising chapter is in...

    And unfortunately, that verdict is unanimous:

    Complaints were: too meta, hard to follow, does nothing to advance the plot, and potentially makes things worse while trying to fix them.

Continuation and Chronicles Part 27 will launch this weekend · 8:29pm Aug 17th, 2022

Lock and load, and ready your heavy weapons, folks. :rainbowdetermined2: A fresh chapter of Feathered Hearts - C&C is on the way within days. I find the words for it coming a lot more readily than Harmonic Resonance, whose climactic chapter remains unfinished at a whopping 16k words and is very likely at this point to be broken up again. But I’ll address that separately, as C&C appears to be giving me the break from HR I need.

As for what to expect, it would appear that I lied before. I said previously that this new chapter would end by catching up with the original story’s escape to Aricia at the end of chapter 9, but it’s now apparent to me that this will require a two-parter to do properly, and as such the first part will be 100% original content again.

For those curious, the intended tone of this new chapter will be one of heart-pounding suspense with an outright horror movie vibe at times. It will pick up right where the last one left off, with Fortrakt and Gilda departing. You may recall that they’ll be attempting to deliver the Ibexian summoning crystals to the next two steadholts towards Aricia, which they’ll use as stepping stones for their trapped force at Bale to escape the Cloven and reach the safety of the city.

Suffice it to say, no plan survives contact with the enemy, and this one will be no different. I considered releasing a teaser with this blog, but I’ll decline because there’s several surprises I don’t want to give away. Expect a release on Sunday morning, US eastern time. Prereaders, stand by to receive the new chapter draft, likely as soon as tonight. And for regular readers, thank you for patience and waiting this long for the story to continue. Hopefully the wait will be worth it.
