Got up this morning and wrote most of the transition out of the action scene in Lowborn 06, and I think I know how it’s going now.

What I’m going to do is cut this chapter off about one thousand words prior to where I am at the moment, moving that to chapter 07.  Then, I’m going to write a more detailed introduction to 06, getting in a little information I was originally going to put in Ch. 07.  That should put 06 somewhere around the same length as the preceding chapters.

I should be able to fit the rest of what I had planned for 07 in with the carry-over 1k words, which sets me up for the ending in Ch. 08.  So, once I complete that new introduction ( probably later today ) Ch. 06 will be done, and Ch. 07 will already be a thousand words in.

Still waiting on Roust to fight his way through SOTM 16 on the unfamiliar system.  If he gets it done this weekend, it will go in Monday.  If not, it will be the following Monday ( I hope ).  I’d like to continue aiming for the same day of the week with all new chapters, and his editing is just too important to the overall story for me to post without it.

Off to work on Lowborn.

EDIT (later): And, done!  06 is in the bag, and 07 is already 1/5 the length of the average chapter.  Going to chill, then get back to SOTM 18.  Accomplishing goals is a solid motivator, and now I want to get the next scene of this done 🙂
