Chapter 14 Delivered!

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!
