    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.

    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,

Harmonic Resonance - Twilight Part 3 draft complete · 3:34pm Sep 4th, 2022

It seems to have come together rather nicely in the end, settling in at not far under 12k words with more likely to be added before it goes live. I think with this one, readers will like the coda as much as the main action, and there’s a good measure of side action in here as well that might set the stage for future bonus material. At this point, it’s waiting for feedback from the commissioner and my prereading team. Best guess for launch is Tuesday or Wednesday night, depending on how fast I get that feedback returned and make whatever changes needed.

I think folks will find the final ascension chapter suitably satisfying, both on an M-rated level and in terms of its denouement. Expect some cameos from familiar faces as well through a surprise method. After this, all that remains is the epilogue chapter, which shouldn’t take me long to finish. I’ll set a projected release date of Sunday, September 18th for that one.

Don’t worry, it will be M-rated as well, if only partially. It will be set a week after these events so you get to see what happened in the immediate aftermath and how our newly ascended goddesses are now doing. Spoiler: They’re enjoying their powers, but also rediscovering and appreciating far simpler pleasures like being simple burger-eating teenagers again.

Needless to say, thanks for all your patience on this one as Twilight’s ascension ballooned far past what it was originally supposed to be. No regrets, though, not even for as much grief as it occasionally caused me, trying to get it right. You be the judge as always whether I succeeded, and look for the launch around midweek.

After this, a new chapter of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles is in the offing, followed by work on Unleash the Magic. If I come back to do bonus material for Harmonic Resonance, it’ll most likely be some months in the future when the mood strikes me.

Regarding the spoiler: I do love a story coming full-circle. Looking forward to the thrilling conclusion. This has been quite the ride.

Appreciated! I’ve enjoyed seeing your comments on each chapter, too. I hope you like the ending and the final part of Twilight’s ascension.
