Rant! Rant! Rant! There. I feel better now. Well, not really, but it's as good as it's gonna get. I'm working on chapter nine and all sorts of problems are cropping up based on bone-headed things I did in previous chapters that I now have to work around while still trying to maintain book canon as much as possible. Argghhh! I need a massage. And I decided to go with hot chocolate instead of tea this evening. It just isn't working as well.

Anyway, enough procrastinating. *squares shoulders and dives back into the fray*

That's why chapter stories scare me a bit, because you have to remember what you wrote in earlier bits that just came out of nowhere and now have to fit in with the rest of the story... I hope you made some progress though, I can't wait to read it!

(and, you're right, hot chocolate's no good at all) :)

Aww, don't be ascared of chapter stories! Because they're already written it's easy to go back and read what you've already done so you don't have to worry about it. And then you can add to it. This from the person who has written 33 chapters for the OF and is constantly going back to add "flavah" to what's already there. Of course, I've not done this with fanfic so I don't know if I could support a long story the way I do in OF. I've thought often about adding second parts to some of my already written stories (Wizard's Watch - Merry's POV, Together In One Breath - Part Deux, Merry's view, more angst at Buckland in Journey of the Heart) but for whatever reason can't seem to get going on them.

I'm leaving for a few days but when I get back on Saturday I expect to have something to beta. Make that TWO somethings to beta. You BOTH are gonna experience Pips Prodding and Poking until I get more chapters! :-)

Thanks. I made enough progress to send it off for betaing. Now I just have to see what Pervinca thinks of it. I wrote it while seriously sleep-deprived and it looked okay to me but to someone who is actually coherent it probably is a total mess, lol.
