    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.

    Still waiting on Midnight Rising prereads...

    Which are particularly important this time, because the first preread I got back was negative. As it came from AJ_Aficionado, whose opinions I particularly value mostly because he’s more interested in the story than the sex, I tend to give what he said about it credence but still want to hear from everyone else before I start making changes to the new chapter.

    Mind changed on removing the griffon arc from Midnight Rising + teaser

    After receiving pleas from multiple readers to keep the Enter the Griffon chapters in place, I have decided to do so and go with my original plan, which was to simply offer new readers the chance

    One final thing...

    I have been advised by no less an authority than CHS acting Vice-Principal Ms. Cheerilee to use the upcoming Midnight Rising chapter as strictly a recap to relaunch the story, and not get into Lemon Zest until the following chapter, when I can devote a full entry to it without any split in focus. No, really. She did. You’ll see what I mean when the chapter launches, but basically, I’m

Update, or lack of it... · 10:09pm Mar 11th, 2016

Folks, I really have to apologize for my lack of new content and being out of contact over Skype. I have just not been a happy camper these past few weeks, and I'm simply not finding the energy to write or be social with. So what's going on? Work, primarily. For various reasons I've really had to knuckle down over the past month and it has taken a lot out of me. By the time I work, exercise and do dinner I am usually quite moody and just in no mood to do anything except veg out in front of my TV or computer screen and play games.

It's not that I don't have the desire to write, it's that I don't have the mental energy right now. I have ideas, but I can't seem to turn them into words right at the moment, which is not usually an issue with me. I'm not happy about this state of affairs and don't know how long it will last, but for now, that's the way it is. There are simply other things I have to attend to right now. You know how prolific I can be, and it is my hope I will find that energy again before too long. Unfortunately, over such things I have only limited control.

For the record, the next Lawyer and the Unicorn chapter is about half-done right now, thanks more to James CyberLink than to me. I will attempt to do some work on it this weekend, perhaps, after my long-neglected chores are done. So I ask for everyone's indulgence and understanding for now.

rather than force thing simply stop righting for a bit.
there are several vary good story's try reading and just relax.

So...crap.

You'd best take it easy.

...Do you need my help? I might be able to turn those ideas into story-words for ya. I have a LOT of free time as of now.

Life can be tough at times. Sometimes people aren't exactly who you think they are. Other times expectations placed upon you ascend to dizzying heights. And sometimes, people leave nasty comments.
In these times, we must remember one thing in particular: as long as we have friends to get us by, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome.
Rest easy, Firesight. I'm looking forward to your steady recovery.

This reminds me of the THREE WEEKS I was stuck working out of a different location. I was NOT that happy at all while I was stuck there.

You need some time doing all of the FUN things you like that you can do solo, and somewhere along the line do something extra-silly like initiate a pillow-fight at your parents house or something.

Stories are labors of love, so don't feel compelled to keep a schedule for updates. If need be, take some time to recharge your batteries and regain your writing passion

If there's anyone on the site that puts in more work at producing quality material, I've never heard of him. No apologies or indulgences are necessary on your part. We're just thankful to have you around. And hey, we all get burned out from work. 2015 was an absolute hell at work!

We'll be excited to have you back upon your return. :eeyup:

Keep going buddy.
