I’ve noticed before that when I release multiple chapters of the same story in rapid succession, the later chapters tend to do more poorly than the initial ones in terms of views and comments. Such was the case here as the fifth Firefly chapter was released with very little apparent interest. There were only three comments on the content, and two of them were to complain about my choice of closing quote.

Because I’m ill. I started getting sick last Monday and by Wednesday I was down hard with a severe cold. Not COVID, and not the flu, but maybe it was that RSV thing that’s been going around. I’ve only been slowly getting better, taking two and a half sick days off from work, but sleeping has been an apnea-filled adventure at times with my nose so stopped up, and my energy has been very low. As a result, despite all the time off, I haven’t been writing much.

With my turkey week break over (except that my family doesn’t do Turkey for thanksgiving dinner due to it not agreeing with certain palates), it’s back to work at the office and back to work writing, though I didn’t stop the latter during my week off. C&C chapter 30 is well underway, and I also gave the newly released M-rated chapters 10-14 a second and sorely needed editing pass.

Second editing pass on new M-rated chapters

Heyo, folks. Just wanted to let you know that the next Eros chapter is now with prereaders. Weighing in at 10,000 words, it's actually a little light on sex after the initial section, but as the reason involves some character development and worldbuilding, hopefully you won't mind too much. But that's not the only thing I wanted to mention.

To thank everyone who replied on my previous blog. The outpouring of support I received was very much appreciated, and very much needed for the mood I was in. I will take pains to reply to everyone that commented in the next few days, but first I wanted to make an announcement that I’m sure a significant number of readers will be eager to hear:

While I’m waiting to launch the latest chapter of Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising tonight, I worked on the next chapter of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles heavily yesterday and especially today. It’s already up over 6,000 words, and among other things, I’m trying to work in parts of the original story’s chapter 9, as I haven’t included anything from the source material in a while. You’ll get to see the Marines, griffies, drakinas and Ibex in action as they work

Well, folks... I admit I had a couple of shaky moments not long after I released the new C&C chapter, wondering if I'd just made a grave mistake by bumping the rating and including the ending scene. An upvote was reversed and the first two comments the chapter received regarding that scene were negative, which did not bode well at all.

What does the former have to do with the latter? Nothing except to remind myself that despite being recently diagnosed with high blood pressure (for which I’m on medication and have altered my diet), my heart is strong and stamina is growing. I can do a 10k with ease now, I hit 8.22 miles today without a problem, and I may consider seeing if I can run a half-marathon (13.1 miles) before long.

The first chapter draft for C&C is off to prereaders, weighing in at a whopping 17,775 words. So far I’ve gotten one of those prereads back with another in progress, and the initial feedback is favorable. As I’m still picking at it and slipping stuff in, it’s likely going to be approaching 19,000 or more words when all is said and done. But I don’t think I’ll reduce its size by splitting it this time. It’s a climactic chapter, so even as a clop chapter, it will be of climatic chapter length.

For two reasons. First, work is picking up again, and it may stay that way through August as we have an important September deadline for my team to hit. Second, I found I needed an extended break from writing after the last two Eros chapters for all the effort I put into them. Needed to mentally rest and emotionally recharge from it before starting something new.

Thanks in part to one final comment that came to me over PM last night. It wasn't a mean comment. In fact, it was nothing but a simple, politely asked question from a reader I hadn't heard from before: do you have to read the griffon chapters to understand what comes after?

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.

After an unpleasant couple weeks of work, I've got a three day weekend to unwind and take advantage of. Here's my writing schedule to come, in order of priority:

1. Unleash the Magic:

Thanks to the long weekend, the next Unleash the Magic: Midnight Rising chapter draft should be finished by Monday or sooner, and will be posted as soon as it passes prereaders. Needless to say, I think you all know what happens next...

2. The Lawyer and The Unicorn

I've written about 4000 words for my new Equestria Girls one-shot clopfic so far. Took me a while to figure out exactly how it was going to go, but I now know. Without giving anything away, what you're going to see is me completely cutting lose in my erotic writing, which I can't really do in my main stories. People tell me I'm shameless for some of the stories I write and characters I ship? Well, you're going to see what happens when I really am shameless--when I really do

I've lately been on and off with my writing, focusing on a few pages a time with not only TMS, but also with its bonus chapters and my upcoming story as well. I've also been having trouble with getting my usual SAI program where I draw my pictures working, so I had to download a new one (which I haven't gotten to try out yet) that I'm hoping to use soon for the new cover of "Unleash the Magic" and maybe others.

It's that time again! Here's what I got going so far for these upcoming chapters:

Unleash the Magic:

(2): Currently proofread and editing.
(3): ~55% finished on draft

The Model's Secretary:

(Ozzy and Shining Bonus Chapter): ~35-40% finished.
(41): Starting soon enough.

Dear Miss Cheerilee:

Currently don't feel like doing.

For fans of Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly, I will be aiming for a new chapter release this weekend or early next week, depending on how quickly I can get the rest written. The new chapter currently stands at 3500 words and should be at least double that length by the end. Expect it to be the second part of a three-chapter arc dealing with the Empire's first-day attack on Cloudsdale, and as promised previously, it will be told from a new point of view, the identity of whom

As anybody who has read my stories knows, thestrals figure just slightly prominently. Five Stars had a thestral herdmate who later became a famous singer, Fell Flight has thestral eyes and ancestry in Firefly, and over in Nightmare Night...

Well. Anybody who reads that knows what's happening there.
