At 4pm Eastern time (9pm Greenwich) on Friday, September 1st with the launch of Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly.
Having been given a head start with a section of the new chapter already written by Leo Archon, I launched into that next chapter and now find it coming quite quickly. Already at 6000 words, it is likely to be finished by the weekend, and depending on how quickly my prereaders can get to it, it might even go out on Sunday.
Will be back to writing here entirely for the foreseeable future tomorrow. Editing this thing was an absolute mess.
Here's the stuff I was working on 60,000 plus words and all
That was six actual weeks of work. That one blog is pretty much a novel.
After struggling to write a few hundred words a day, the dam broke once I figured out the flow of battle and I wrote the final 3000 words in the last day. Part 13 has reached 9373 words as of this writing, and the first prereader to get his hooves on the full chapter loves it. Chapter will release on Sunday morning or sooner if all prereads are received in time.
A teaser? Sure, why not...
As you might guess, I’ve been taking it easy the last couple weeks, slowing down the pace of my writing, but I haven’t stopped completely. The next Nightmare Night chapter currently stands at around 4600 words and will have a surprise opening section taking place from a new perspective in Canterlot and hopefully whetting appetites for the big Thunderlane scene, which I’m writing generally a few hundred words of at a time. Sex and battle scenes (like in Firefly) are a bit weird for
Sorry to not keep readers updated, but I've found it hard to feel creative over the past week. You'll understand, it's a little difficult to be interested in writing, especially sexual stuff when you're recovering from knee surgery (or really any surgery), as your body devotes its energy to healing instead of to more pleasurable pursuits.
Tentatively titled “Change of Command”, it’s currently coming in at just shy of 9000 words and it’s going to test my writing ability to create extreme tension and suspense in readers even without an actual battle.
Let me start by saying the last chapter release was a roaring success, with a long-lived visit to the feature list, resulting in five new likes spread across both Firefly stories. The original Before the Storm is now closing in on the 300-like milestone, and I'll have an announcement for when it crosses it. So a warm welcome to new readers, with my great thanks for all the upvotes and comments. Can't say enough how much getting good feedback drives authors to create more!
The next Nightmare Night chapter is on the way and may be draft complete this weekend. It is likely to be a shorter chapter this time, perhaps around 6500 words or so. Highlights include Eclipse vs Celestia--in which I attempt to plug a major plot hole from the MLP movie--and action on the other side of the portal as Twilight and Sunset get ready to answer the map's call. There will also be some check-ins with the CMC, and Spike's group.
Or even sooner if all prereads are in and everybody’s happy, most notably the original commissioner. After reading what I had, he asked me to extend the main sensual scene further, so I did, adding another 1800 words to it. Now waiting for his input, and that of prereaders, who have promised to get to the story today. In the meantime, I’ve readied the story for launch:
The end is in sight, both on this software release for my day job and the new chapter of C&C I've been promising for a month. With regards to the latter, I finally settled on showing three new perspectives—Giraldi, Tribune Cipio, and his aide, Optio Virgo—and limiting the chapter to those, as any more than that would overwhelm the reader and already had overwhelmed the author.
As promised to certain readers who aren’t interested in clop, all R-rated and M-rated chapters of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles will be getting T-rated equivalents from here on out. That includes the first M-rated chapter I posted, which was Part 29. Its T-rated counterpart will be published this evening.
Let me write these plans down real quick, both for yalls sake and so that I can get some sleep tonight.
I do not rest well when things are left undone.
Between this Wednesday and next Wednesday, I plan to publish quite a bit, and if I can manage to write well enough there is a lot to look forward too.
Tomorrow or Thursday I plan to publish a Docter Hooves flash-fiction I am working on for the Beans Writing Group prompt(Never again, and includes a ghost ), a pony vs Machine story.
I know it’s been a while, and for that I apologize. The last few months have been absolutely kicking my you-know-what, and, outside of a few random oneshots of questionable quality, I could barely make any significant progress on my writing projects.
4000 words in, and as usual, the chapter's taking a bit of a turn from what I initially intended as I find myself shifting from section to section, working on each a little in turn. But that's fine. There remains at least a slight chance I'll have it done by this weekend; it depends on whether I finally break through and start knocking out the rest quickly, which sometimes happens in my writing. The first half comes slowly, and then the rest comes rapidly as I get more into it and the chapter
So I'm finally going to get to work on the third chapter. I honestly believe that writing this chapter is going to be easier than the first two since I already have most of the characters in place/where I need them to be.
We might get some more end of the day bed talk, which I feel like making a thing between AJ and Naruto. It's a good turn in point for each chapter since we can always be guaranteed an moment of fluff for you guys to watch.
7500 words down, with likely another ~2500 words to go as work has eased a bit if not entirely relented. Unfortunately, just writing the draft it isn’t enough; this will require some graphics before it’s called ready to go. But it should be going to prereaders this weekend, at least. I’ve given the first half of it to Silentwoodfire and AJ_Aficionado, who have given it their thumbs-up thus far. The chapter will be almost entirely about the Battle of Harness Hill, and thus will be titled that as
Sorry for the delay, but I ended up writing a whopping 3100 words of it that I didn’t use, though I hope to find a place for it in a future chapter. Unfortunately, as hot as I found it, it just didn’t fit at this point in the story. Ah well.
I know I promised a new Firefly chapter first for New Years, and then this weekend, but it remains not quite ready. What's taking so long, you ask? Well, an image is worth 1000 words:
And I will do my level best to get a second one done in the next week. Don’t be surprised if it slips a few days, but I’ll at least have one out on Halloween.
