Wow. Chapters 13 and 14 finished in less than a week! I'm pleased I was able to deliver 14 so quickly, since it has renewed my faith that I can provide more than one chapter a month.
Hopefully I can keep the pace up, though the book is about to go in a different direction.
With Chapter 14, I have finished the first major section from Brand's point of view. I'd be interesting to get some feedback on the section as a whole.
Did it work? What made it good? What sucked about it? Any thoughts about where this storyline might be going? Let me know.

Chapter 14, Scene 1 complete
Well, one night after I wrote all of Chapter 13, Scene 3, I wrote all of Chapter 14, Scene 1 and began Scene 2. Chapter 14 is the conclusion of this section of Brand's point of view. It's about to switch back to Graedin. I think 14 ends strongly, with a good enough cliffhanger to keep the reader going into a new section of the book. Such fun!
There's a good quotable in Scene 2: "Reality is a dangerous beast, and she rarely cares for our intentions." I wonder who told Ezra that?
Ahem, that's called a "teaser".

Chapter 13
Lucky Chapter 13 (which is actually the 9th chapter I've completed, since I started with number 5) is finally sent.
Sorry for the delay, the holidays were crazy busy. New job, lots of travelling and visiting with family (all good stuff), a bout of food poisoning (not so good), and plenty of other things to do.
I do have newfound resolve to increase my writing pace though. I hope to stick with it. Any encouragement would be...encouraging.
Cheerio!
