I asked that many times over the last month and a half. I apologize for the tardiness of this next chapter, but I did have a good reason. Believe it or not, I was writing too much.
I did 18 different versions of this freaking chapter. Eighteen! I've said it before, but my chapters are usually around 16 pages in LibreOffice. But I had versions of this chapter hitting 30 pages. Way too many.
So I had to cut them and edit them myself before sending them on to the editors simply out of not wanting to embarrass myself too much. I mean those guys have had to edit my unseen prose. That ain't easy, lemme tell you.
So long story short, I have sent chapter 77 to the editors, and hopefully, I'll be able to post this new chapter early next week. But it's up to them and how much red they leave on the page.
Tee hee.
