As it's pretty much ready except for one final editing pass, I'm moving up the launch of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles to this evening. Get hyped!
But getting the new Midnight Rising chapter ready for launch took precedence. So, apologies for that, but a day late, here's a snippet of the next Feathered Hearts chapter to come, taking place the morning after the visit to the Hall of Heroes:
The following morning found Gilda and Fortrakt standing at attention in their regular uniforms before Tribune Narada and Ambassador Strenus.
Got ya, didn't I?
Aiming to be draft complete tomorrow, at which point we’ll see about a teaser. Graphics will take longer, but it’s a three-day weekend for me, so there’s plenty of time to work on it. One of the perks of working for a bank is we get all federal holidays off, including Presidents’ Day.
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.
In a word... whew! I Just want it known that I put on one hell of a push for this, folks, but for as easy as it came, it was joy to do. When your muse is fully engaged, writing becomes fun. Admittedly, having the flu helped, since it meant I could spend working hours on it, and I sure as hell needed the distraction.
Over the years, I’ve found there is an inverse relationship between how much I enjoy writing a clopfic, and how much I can write on it in one sitting. Ironically, but perhaps not surprisingly, the more fun it is, the less time I can spend on it for reasons I’m sure everybody can guess. That’s actually a good sign for the story, for when I enjoy writing something, it tends to turn out quite well, even if it ends up being a bit late.
As of late I've been typing down story idea to get commission and I happened to create 12 or so different stories. I want to all these story done as soon as possible but commissions ain't cheap so I can do only 1 story at a time. I can't decide which story to commission first so I'll just set up a poll and tally the votes a week from now.
Yes, yes. Welcome, one and all! It's me, back and happy to give you lot another blog post to gaze upon. And if you appreciate blogs of immense length, you're in luck.
As you may have seen from the title, this is my list for my top-viewed/only-viewed films of the year Twenty-Seventeen. An overall bad year, in my earnest opinion, but that's why we have explosives to play with. Hur, hur, hurrr...
Let's dig in, shall we?

Apologies for not having the chapter out this past weekend as I hoped. Unfortunately, work picked up big time last week, requiring me to work extra hours, and the new chapter(s) of C&C I was working with fell by the wayside for a bit while I concentrated on my day job. It might not be letting up much either given we’re trying to hit an end-of-month deadline here, so my writing efforts are likely to suffer a bit. But, gotta pay the bills.
And with apologies, I had to break it up again, meaning the ending M-rated scene will be shunted to the next chapter. For those who were ready and eager for that scene after all the hints I was dropping, my apologies, but the combined chapter had once again exceeded 20k words even with the ending scene not even half-done.
My writing motivation is a bit low right now in the wake of the big push I put on the last couple chapters, and I’m not finding the desire to continue with C&C at the moment except in very small segments. So maybe it’s just best to step away from it and focus on other things for a bit. But I did want to welcome new readers aboard and thank everyone who left feedback, which I always appreciate. It was another successful release and the story continues to accumulate new tracks with likes being a
I accidentally posted the in-progress draft of my new C&C chapter directly to the story, overwriting Chapter 37 with it. It was up for about half an hour before I noticed, so I apologize to anybody who saw it and ended up very confused or thought it was unfinished (because it was). The proper chapter content has been restored. But, since I did that, I might as well give an update on the new chapter.
Sorry for the delay, but I'm still tweaking it and trying to give prereaders more chance to hit it. Just remember that when it does drop, you'll see three new chapters and not just one. That's because I'll be breaking up the prior chapter into three to make the chapter size more in line with the rest of the story, like I said in a previous blog.
Wish it were Sunday. That’s my fun day.
It's looking pretty polished by now and coming in not far short of 13k words, though I keep tweaking it here and there. Even once the preread is in, there'll be a one-day delay so I can create the T-rated version of it. I don't like to do that until I'm satisfied the main R-rated/M-rated version is finished, in order to minimize edits or changes that would otherwise have to be done to two versions of text instead of one.
I was thinking of releasing the Prologue of 'The Ending Race'. Reason being is so you all get the feel of the story, and stay with me until it is completed! I am honestly not sure how many chapters the story will have.
The story was going to be a normal fanfic to steady myself but when I got the dream, I literally flipped the table.
Restarted,
Rewrote,
Continuing.
Well, folks, I’ve been writing a lot over the past week, but I’ve been splitting my attention between the next Midnight Rising chapter and Feathered Hearts. The former was coming frustratingly slowly as I couldn’t seem to find the correct angle for it, while the latter was coming quite quickly. I was working on the next main story chapter and thought it might be ready within days.
I’m happy to say the pain is slowly subsiding, and with it, the need for painkillers, though I still need a modicum of them to eat anything more than a protein shake. I made some spaghetti and meat sauce yesterday and ate it rather gingerly, in very small pieces. Might have been a mistake because my throat felt raw and inflamed afterwards, probably from the acid in the tomatoes.
I launched Harmonic Resonance yesterday, and I’m honestly stunned by how poorly it did. 
Equestria Girls clopfics usually do well, or so I thought; I truly believed this was a surefire feature. I’m honestly not sure what I did wrong in terms of marketing it, either in the story description or the groups I added it to. If anybody has thoughts, feel free to share them.
