Been working on Chapter 11 most of the day, looks like this might end up being close to 20 pages long (MS Word), so I'm going to pack it in for the night and welcome the new year by sawing logs.
On a side note, sometime in January I plan on posting revisions of the first few chapters of The Runesmith Chronicles. Just improvements in grammar and punctuation as well as removing stray words that got left in from editing and rewording a sentence here and there to improve flow. No new content so you won't be missing anything if you choose not to peruse them again. However, if you do, they should be easier and more pleasant reading than the originals
