    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.

    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.

TLaTU Part 37 release this weekend... · 9:33pm Dec 15th, 2017

Hey folks! First, a general update: I did indeed have my eye surgery last Friday, and like Fell Flight, though my vision was temporarily worsened and the double-vision not entirely corrected afterwards, it's been getting steadily better as time passes and the swelling goes down. A week on, I'm pleased to report my double-vision was almost entirely eliminated and what's left of it is close enough that my mind and/or eye muscles can compensate. In short, I have binocular vision again without heavy coke-bottle glasses and I love it! The only lingering cost is a severely red eye that means I give the evil eye to everyone I meet, and some lingering soreness that only required painkillers on the first couple days. I'm told both will subside over a period of two weeks.

While waiting to heal, I've been forced to use some old glasses I had from six years ago that didn't have the 'prisming' that was required to correct my double-vision, meaning the prescription is otherwise well out-of-date and putting some strain on me. I'll be getting a new prescription next week, and will order new glasses shortly thereafter for what I hope will be the last time--I plan this operation to be a precursor to getting Lasik later next year so I can abandon glasses entirely.

In any event, I have indeed been writing during my convalescence and am still trying to get the next TLaTU chapter ready to go. I'm sorry for the delay, but it's just not been coming quickly and surgical post-op pain doesn't exactly lend itself to clop. Though now over 9000 words long, it's been giving me fits the whle way, and the reason is that for the story's grand finale, I'm trying to write what's easily the most complicated and involved scene I've ever attempted--and for me, that's saying a lot! :pinkiegasp:

But it will be finished, and hopefully very much worth the wait! At this point, I'm aiming for a late weekend release; most likely point for it is Sunday morning--which is actually my favorite time to publish because I'm most likely to feature and my story will stay on the front page the longest due to less site activity. TLaTU has never featured, of course, but no matter. It's been a fun ride and I'd like to thank those who still follow it for sticking with it the whole way!

A teaser? Sorry, but this time, I want readers to come in cold. Hints? Well, aside from Celly's promised 'punishment', you may recall that Twilight's friends are still waiting for her promised call... :raritywink: And after this, I'm planning for an Xmas release of the next Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night chapter. Happy Hearth's Warming folks...

Though now over 9000 words long,

There's no way that can be right! :trollestia: Regardless I look forward to it.
