    Two-Wicked Candle

    Its been in progress for a very long time, as I've mentioned before, but the more I push on with new chapters, the more unacceptable the initial chapters become. I got lost in the sauce of the latest chapter, bringing back an old friend (and the complications of planned then rescinded design changes), but I really need to focus back on the original chapter rewrites. You might think this is

    Writers Block Over (maybe)

    As explained in my last blog entry, I hit a wall after writing an entire chapter that took the sisters' journey in the wrong direction. Since then, I have been stuck on how to reconcile this error; do I rewrite the entire chapter I was proud of, or compromise my greater vision of the story?

    TToTS Ch.22: When Disaster Strikes

    Oh boy. So, some time ago (sadly not dated because I didn't finish it) I decided to write Tirek/Scorpan's backstory, waiting for a point to insert it. I decided that Chapter 22 was a good a time as any, placing it as a filler while the sisters passed through the Lowlands Forest. Before continuing the (let's call it Tau) backstory, I wanted to keep the momentum of the real journey flowing, so I

    FotV Ch.1 Updated

    In my pursuit of rewriting Chapter 1 of TToTS (having now finished the Prologue), I accidentally rewrote Chapter 1 of FotV, slightly recontextualising Star's landing and Twilight and Star's behaviour to be more in line with later chapters (the first chapter was three years old!). It's up to you whether you want to reread it; it's 800 words longer, but nothing really different happens. I may

BAM! More FotV. · 6:17pm Jul 22nd, 2022

Hello, I have just finished a 13 hour, 20 minute long writing stream after a sleepless night, how are you?

If you take a look at Flight of the Valkyrie's page, you'll not only find a new 5.8k word chapter, but also minor changes to chapters 1-3, and major changes to chapter 4. Most of these retroactive changes were due to refinement and expansion of the core timeline, giving more definition to specifically what Shooting Star did as a child, and more importantly, C- ... Well, maybe I won't spoil it, though it's not exactly a twist.

Anyway, I think it's a change that not only deepens FotV's connection to the reworked TToTS chapters, but also gives even greater motivation to Shooting Star's actions, and makes everything feel a little more... justified. Oh yes, and originally chapter 5 was going to end up being over 11k words long, so I decided to split it in half and bump up the total number of chapters. It sort of splits an emotional hump in half, which I'm not thrilled by, but there was just too much going on in that chapter for its own good, so take it as two more manageable halves.

Given that the second half of chapter 5 was already in the proofing stage, it hopefully shouldn't take long before you see its release, too! And this time I won't have to rewrite all the others chapters before it! Yay!

Hopefully see you soon~
