I have not been pushing forward on the book project this month. Boo to me.
Anyway, I've sent a new version of Chapter 10. I had some serious transition issues that were bothering me, and when they were immediately pointed out by Derrick the day after I sent it, I decided to put out a "stop the presses" order to the Alpha Readers until I had a chance to fix.
The first page and a half of Chapter 10 were moved to the beginning of page 18 - yep, that's how badly I missed. Honestly, the only thing needed was copy/paste of that section and then the chapter made perfect sense.
This is the issue with stream-of-consciousness writing, though it's still the best way I've found to write, and it's also the benefit of having Alpha Readers.
And now, pictures of a baby hedgehog:

Chapter 10!!
Believe it or not, I wrote the entirety of Chapter 10 in two days. Amazing what one can do when the muse strikes one. The clock is about to strike 10, and so I go to bed.
One note about Chapter 10 - at a request for more originality, the "Capture the Flag" game referenced in Chapter 9 is now called "Pillage". Also, there is a brief repeated section from Chapter 9 in 10, because I decided it worked better here. It will be removed from Ch. 9.

Delay?
The reason I haven't posted anything about beginning Chapter 10 yet is because I haven't begun Chapter 10. The reason is I'm trying to catch up on my reader feedback. It's important to me to read the feedback I receive and to reply. This feedback helps improve my writing moving forward and also keeps the readers involved in the process. I am almost finished catching up. After, I will be ready to rock-and-roll on chapter 10. I already have the next several chapters mapped out. I just need to sit down and get them on paper.
