Okay! So, I know there's only two of you following me, but in case you're reading Kingdoms: Uprising, which, yes, has had a lot of changes, I've got something to add on the pile.
          	Flurrycloud and I looked up the average words per chapter in a book. We've been setting a goal of 1000 words per chapter, but the average is 3000-4000. So, we've been combining chapters so they end up with at least 2000 words. Up to about chapter 20, where Lucy's and Raven's chapters were separate, we're combining chapter 1 and chapter 3, Lucy's first two, and then chapter 2 and chapter 4, Raven's first two, and so on. Once we get to the point where Raven and Lucy meet and each chapter advances the plotline, we'll convert chapter 21 to Raven's perspective to continue what was previously chapter 20, if that makes any sense, and continue on like that. (Sorry I'm confusing).  So yes, another major change, and it'll seem like there are fewer chapters (well, there will be, I suppose) but there will be the same amount of content. The chapters will also probably take longer to produce.

There have been a lot of changes to my horses since the last time I posted. Jinx is still a princess and no longer has leg or face markings. She also has feathering now and looks like an actual Friesian. Violet, the army horse, is now named Lydia and is Obsidian's crush (long story). Lunar no longer exists, he will eventually but he's not a prince anymore. Also, Eloise is Sasha's twin sister who is on an exchange trip to the Cloud Kingdom.
          Basically, the whole Ebony Kingdom story is changing. My best friend has been writing chapters from Princess Leanna of the Cloud Kingdom's perspective, with the same plot line. We've been writing together in a document but she's decided she wants me to add her parts to my published story. Every chapter written from Leanna's perspective is written by her and I will give her full credit. Also the book is getting a new cover and title, and there will definitely be a sequel. I'm sorry I'm taking so long on the Shadow story, but I'm very into the horse story right now so I'm less motivated to write the Shadow one (plus, writer's block is the worst.) The horses have different names for seasons, months, years, and general time-recording words we use. I might make a list to help people figure them out.
          I think that's all that needs to be addressed. If you have any questions say something and I'll clarify them.

SO!
          I need opinions. The black horse I got for my friend just NEEDS to be a princess. (She and I share all our horses, by the way, so I'm allowed to include her in the story and stuff- for example, I was Sasha's original owner and she was Nightingale's, and Nightingale is in the story.) I also have way too many royal children. So should I remove Jinx as a princess? Technically she's a Hanoverian anyway because she has leg and face markings, which Friesians can't have. And the new horse is a Friesian.
          Help!

I know there's only two of you, and I only know for sure that one of you reads the story I'm talking about, but any opinions will help!

Hello! So, just so you know, the horse in my Ebony Kingdom story named Midnight- Sasha's sister- is now named Jinx. I hope this hasn't caused confusion! (I changed her name in previous chapters too, but whichever of you who have read the previous chapters might have been perplexed. Also there is a slight chance that Lunar won't be part of the royal family for much longer due to the fact that he has too many white markings and anyway there are too many royals. There was a mistake I made that stated Fitz was Nightingale's little brother. He's not. He's Kora's son- Nightingale's nephew. Also there may be a new princess sometime in November since I got a black horse for my friend for her birthday, and the mare may be added to the royal family (I know I'm contradicting myself about having too many royals but oh well, lol). Just letting you both know since it might cause confusion.
