Initial launch will comprise a prologue plus eight chapters, with additional chapter releases occurring at the rate of one per day after. At that rate, the story will reach the start of the trial by this time next week with plenty to read in the meantime.

Here’s what to expect:

After a very good week for not just it but all my stories, the newest incarnation of Unleash the Magic stands as of this writing at 155/20. As a thank you and reward for all readers, both old and new, I'm writing a fresh chapter of it next. Be looking for it in a couple weeks, with updates and teasers as we get closer.

Just waiting for one final preread. It’s a shorter chapter, and for a change, it will only include a single extended scene--not the Thunderlane sequence (sadly), but Cloud Kicker/Nymphaea, which I decided after all that build-up and the length it was becoming needed to have its own chapter. So watch and read along as Blossomforth-turned-Nymphaea finally realizes her heart’s desire! It’s 4500 words long and has been well-received so far. And don’t worry--I’ll give the same extended treatment to

Sorry to disappear for the past few weeks. My update is that work is a royal pain the flank right now, and I'm not finding much time or emotional energy to write at the moment. Work continues--slowly--on the climactic Firefly chapter for the Battle of Outpost Epsilon, and after that, as promised, I'll shift over to Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night for a couple chapters. Work, unfortunately, is not likely to let up for at least several weeks, and after that, I'll be looking

But writing motivation has been lacking as issues in my personal and professional lives have picked up. For the latter, I've worked a slew of additional hours the last couple weeks, and on the home front, I've got a painful shoulder and knee as well as a home desktop that just failed and requires replacement.

It's National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) . So what's ahead for me?

Sorry for the wait, folks, but I *really* had to conclude that last battle in Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly before I moved on from it. But it's all good--I'm actually rather eager to work on Nightmare Night now, having had enough of writing some very bloody and complicated battle scenes! The irony of the Unleash the Magic series is, it has/will have some major battle scenes as

It’s draft complete and already approved of by the Commissioner except for one minor request; I’m just giving myself the chance to finish it and prereaders a chance to hit the chapter before it posts. Next up in the goddess pantheon is everybody’s favorite pony-turned-human girl, and I’m taking a different approach with her.

And at long last, after a month-plus of low testosterone and being sick twice, I feel fully ready to tackle it and write some serious clop. I intend this to be the last (major) chapter of the Griffon Kingdom story arc, though some scattered action will continue there even after it.

Eros just picked up its 150th like! Well, I wasn’t planning to update it quickly, but as a thank-you to readers for getting it to that point (even if it backtracks), I think I should write a new chapter.

Got it up over 8500 words now, with probably another 5-6k to go. Yep, gonna be another big one, like all the griffon chapters. Among (many) other things, I’m taking pains to touch on everybody else present so you can get an update on what’s going on with them, including the Shadowbolt girls and our illustrious school heads.

And since I mentioned that I’d be using a new narrative device in an earlier blog, I’ll give you a sneak preview of it, told (as always) through Sunset’s point of view:

At this point, I’m strongly considering releasing a T-rated version of the chapter since after rereading it a couple times, I’m thinking it got a bit too R-rated for non-clop readers in a couple places. If so, you’ll see it posted in the next few days.

We’re almost there for C&C chapter 36, but don’t get too excited just yet, folks. Even if the last preread is in tonight, I won’t release because I still have to a) give it two more editing passes, b) create the T-rated version of the upcoming chapter, and then c) edit that. So my target release remains Friday evening, and I’ll have to allow a chance that it may slip to Saturday morning since I also have to get ready for my upcoming road trip this weekend.

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.

And you’ll get the next M-rated chapter upgrade on Tuesday, which will be chapter 22: Know Thy Ally. There was a slight change in plans as I elected to include chapter 14: Feathered Heart with yesterday’s initial batch, as I decided it wasn’t fair to make folks wait for the full 5,000 words of Marco’s and Gilda’s first time. Not with the ending of chapter 13 leading right into it.

I believe that is something that everyone, including my prereaders, have wanted to hear for a while. I have about 1000 words of new content already written, and this next chapter will be critical, not so much for its ending scene (which I intend to be epic) but for getting there properly and building tension for it. I promised everyone an answer as to who the biggest badass in the Equestrian military was, and you're going to get it in a scene I've been planning for some time.

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.

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.

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!
