    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.

When Muses Attack... · 8:11pm Dec 10th, 2021

All you can do is surrender to them and let them have their way with you. But that’s very much to the benefit of readers.

I finished the second Feathered Hearts transition chapter last night, which now tops the scales at 11.5k words, and then charged right into the third one this morning, putting down the first 3200 words on it. This third one ends with the start of the Cloven attack. Expect a rollercoaster within it including some serious mood swings.

I’ll release a teaser later, but I’m working so quickly--the words are just flowing right now--that I think there’s a decent chance I may actually be able to finish the third chapter this weekend. If so...?

If so, you’ll start getting the three new new chapters this coming weekend, with the first out on Sunday. After that, expect one every 2-3 days, ending with the appearance of the Cloven. And after that? Well, this has come so quickly that I can either keep working on it, or maybe go back to Eros and write a couple new chapters there in time for Xmas.

Hey, when the words keep coming, ride the flow. Looking forward to seeing what washes up.

FINALY! It will be a glorious chapter about the dread of war and why every war is not about winning but losing the least...
War never decided who was right. Only who was left...

It's writing like you'r that inspired me to release storys of my own. You'r a great inspiration. :raritystarry:

That's an awesome pre christmas gift! Right when I have holidays!!
Thank you Firesight!

When you are the conduit for it is amazing how much can pour forth.

I'm excited that even more will be waiting under tree for me later this month when I finally have time to sit down and enjoy a good read.

My thoughts exactly. It’s fun when they just flow out of you like that. Believe me, that doesn’t always happen. In fact, it’s much more the exception than the rule.

There will certainly be losses here, including some quite keenly felt. :ajsleepy:

War never decided who was right. Only who was left...

So goes the saying, but I tend to disagree a bit with that. War has reshaped societies and altered the course of history many times. Is there such a thing as a good war? No, but there are necessary ones, in my view. And when you fight them, you fight to win them. If we’ve lost sight of anything over the past eighty years, it’s that.

It's writing like you'r that inspired me to release storys of my own. You'r a great inspiration. :raritystarry:

Why thank you! Just as DEL inspired me, It warms my heart to know I’ve inspired others in turn. Best of luck in your own writing endeavors!

You said it. It’s a wondrous feeling when it happens, writing so effortlessly. Believe me, it’s not always that way. In fact, like I said up top, it usually isn’t. Muses can be notoriously fickle things.

I'm excited that even more will be waiting under tree for me later this month when I finally have time to sit down and enjoy a good read.

Three chapters will be posted this week. Enjoy and I look forward to hearing what you think of them! :coolphoto:
