As of 1/21/21, The Night’s Stars has passed 500,000 words long, which, while significantly longer than I ever intended, is somewhat worth celebrating as an accomplishment. Whether that’s a good thing or not is assuredly debatable, but regardless, it’s a milestone!

As you may have guessed by the lack of a blog post on Thursday, the next chapter isn’t coming out next week. But I do have good news! And a preview of Chapter 40, which is still unedited.

Mm, don’t you just love it when you think to yourself, “Yeah, I’m gonna publish a blog post today summarizing what I did,” and then put it off for tomorrow, when you also think to yourself, “Yeah, I’m gonna publish a blog post today summarizing what I did,” and then put it off again... You get the picture.

So have an update since I have become extremely bad about getting news out or keeping in touch as of recent.

It was rough getting here, but now this hurdle has been overcome. I’m excited for the chapters that follow Consideration. Important moments are coming soon.

Last week I published a deleted scene from The Night’s Stars. I was trying to decide when a good time was to publish another deleted scene, which apparently just so happens to be one week later. That was unplanned. I also wasn’t sure what deleted scene to go with, so I decided I would choose the original* version of one of the scenes in the middle/towards the end of Grand Galloping Gala Part 2, which was originally titled “Grand Galloping Disaster” because of another scene which I

So anyway, you all know that I have a bunch of chapters drafted ahead but I’m stalled out on edits/rewrites/drafting because of this, and it’s been... a few months since I’ve published a chapter, but! I have many chapters written! Even if they are in first drafts, incomplete, or a mishmash of words that’s literally freewriting in the case of one chapter, where I’m going to have to perform some Restoration 100 level spells to fix it...

I’ve contemplated posting deleted scenes from The Night’s Stars for... probably a year now, if not longer, and I’ve never done it (or if I have, I’ve forgotten), and I’ve also not given any news about the story in over a month, so I finally decided, “SC_Orion stop procrastinating go publish a blog post!” So, you’ll get some news too since I have news!

This isn’t so much a preview of the next chapter as a request for feedback on the way I wrote the transition to/opening of Chapter 37. Of course, this does include the opening scene, so thus I guess it becomes a preview... Spoilers too.

As pointed out by The Unknown Twinkie, it’s been about two months since you’ve heard from me regarding The Night’s Stars.

Has it really been that long? Almost.

Right. Update below with minor spoilers.

Coffee works wonders. I feel pretty good even though I finished that coffee hours ago. I managed to run through the next chapter and finish the second iteration of the sixth iteration of rewrites/edits/drafts. So now it's off to the prereader and set in storage for re-re-re-re-re-re-review am not a bat but I must REE tomorrow (with coffee) so that I can see if I still like it. Spoiler alert, I felt much better because of the coffee, so I actually enjoyed/loved the chapter and

It's almost been a month. I am ready to give you guys an update. The short, short version: I should have the next chapter ready inside of 3 weeks, I've not written anything new since 2/18/20, and... well, I'll get to the ugly news later.

My memory is so bad that I'm drawing a blank. More information will be included later.

The tentative release date for The Night's Stars chapter 32, "Irrational" is in one week, on 4/2/20 at 5 P.M. E.S.T. I don't have much to say about this, other than there might be a hiccup with the publishing of Chapter 34, by which I mean it may be delayed as I need to work on it more.

Having no desire to do anything kinda sucks.

Presented below the break, an excerpt from Irrational presented without any context. Enjoy!
