dynamic output in ruby terminal during rake db:seed

I am working on a rather lengthy seed.rb file.

Since it takes the rake task a while to complete, I want to give visual feedback through the console to the user so they know the process is working.

So far, I have:

puts "Topic: #{i}, created..."

inside the create loop. However, it spams the terminal output. What I would like to do is have the output look like this:

Topic: #1..N, created...

where the output all stays on the same line, without creating a /n newline character, like what the current output looks like:

Topic: #1, created...
Topic: #2, created...
Topic: #3, created...
Topic: #N, created...

I have tried fiddling with print instead, but it just creates a long string wrapping at the end of the terminal line.

Any ideas?

EDIT This is the entire seed.rb code:

topic_list = []
i = 1
(0..9).map{
  topic_list << [ Faker::Lorem.words(rand(2..5)), Faker::Lorem.sentences(rand(3..7)), rand(1..6) ]
}
topic_list.each do |title, content, author|
  Topic.create!( title:title, content:content, author:author )
  puts "Topic: #{i}, #{title} created..."
  i += 1
end
