As seems to be the case so often for my writings, the new bonus chapter I'm attempting to do has expanded beyond the bounds of a single chapter, and may end up being as many as three before all is said and done. It's not possible for me to finish it all by the weekend, but since a release was promised on Halloween, you'll still get it in the form of a 5k word chapter that will serve as the intro to the Gilda action, 3rd person but told from her perspective.

My knee is improving and creative energies recovering, enabling me to write again. And thus, having received enthusiastic prereader approval (thanks, AJA!), the next updated Midnight Rising chapter is going live late this afternoon before I head for the gym to get swole--about 5pm US Eastern.

But it might just need to be edited.

Though I’d hoped to have it draft complete by the previous weekend, the final ascension chapter of Harmonic Resonance is coming quite slowly, for the reason stated in the title. I’m only 5k words into it even after a week-plus, and I rather suspect that’s going to end up being less than half the size of what’s probably going to end up being a 12k-word chapter.

Adán: Personally, I think, you're just overreacting.

The nice thing about working for a bank is bank holidays, of which President’s Day is one. So I’m off today, and I figured I’d give folks an overdue update on the new chapter of Midnight Rising.

Getting up for work this morning was a bit rough, even three days after my return from Vegas and the three-hour time difference from there to here.

After a full year away. Sorry, folks, but so many other things had my attention and priority before this. The ending of the story has to wait for Midnight Rising to be finished in order to properly set up the climax, but there’s room for at least one and possibly two more intermediate chapters in the meantime.

The new Harmonic Resonance chapter is a big one as befits our Human Element of Generosity, coming in at a healthy 10.5k words. It will be released as soon as prereads are in, and I have the approval of the commissioner on it. In all honesty, this one gave me some trouble as I tried something different in this chapter than the previous ones, seeking a suitable ascension for the lovely Miss Rarity. But it seems to have turned out pretty well. You be

I should have it draft completed for review by AJA tonight. Most likely it will launch Saturday morning, but no later than Sunday morning. Looks like it'll come in a bit under 8000 words. No teaser, sorry, only because this is one of those chapters that I really don't want to to give anything away so readers get it full force. You already know who wins this, but as they say, the fun is getting there! And it's time to check back in with Starlight, to see how she's holding up under constant

Welcome back readers! I trust you had an enjoyable weekend? For many of you given current conditions I imagine it wasn’t too different from the actual week.

Let’s start with some good news. AJ_Aficionado is now a week-plus removed from his procedure, which basically kinks his lower esophagus like a spiral sink trap right above the stomach to prevent acid backwash. He reports he has some minor reflux after surgery, which is said to be normal and should disappear with time along with the post-operative pain. He went home at least briefly, but is staying with family for at least as long as he needs to remain on a liquid diet.

Scene Rating Scale:

9/9: Flawless! Outstanding scene!
8/9: Great scene! Totally Rewatchable!
7/9: Pretty good. Not as perfect as I expected though.
6/9: Decent. Doesn’t ruin the movie/episode.
5/9: Mid.

It seems I have another issue to address.

I have to admit, I’m regretting doing the griffon arc right now. For as much fun as it was for me to write, it should have been a side story given how much of a distraction it turned into. And even those who liked it continue to complain about even the revamped ending, wanting the dragons to have won.

After receiving pleas from multiple readers to keep the Enter the Griffon chapters in place, I have decided to do so and go with my original plan, which was to simply offer new readers the chance to skip over them when they come and then write the current chapter to catch anybody who does skip

The next chapter of Nightmare Night is well underway and currently coming at a slow to moderate clip. I've got 6100 words down so far and as these are the story's climactic chapters, there's a good chance that this will double that length before all is said and done. I think now that the entirity of the Sunset/Twilight duel will be done in one chapter as opposed to two, though.

Disney's Star Was Episode 9: The Rise Of Skywalker is going to be a nonsensical mess. The test audiences hated it and according to the Sweden's movie rating board, this movie is awful and nonsensical . And also Daisy Ridley made sure that the movie is going to be a flop by putting her foot in her mouth by insulting a large chunk of the American population.
