Well, it's finished. Finally. I don't think one chapter ever took me this long to write. The worst part is that I don't even feel really satisfied. Is it worth the wait? I don't really feel it is. But to quote the Jack Nicholson movie, it's probably "as good as it gets".
This chapter is a little longer than usual, so at least I have an objective reason (excuse) for taking longer to write it. Bad news: the concept for the next chapter tells me that one will be a little longer as well.
