SOTM 16 is officially in the zone of where I try to keep all the chapters: 9-11k words.  Just started the final full scene of the chapter, with only the short chapter closer after that.

The young one just went down for a rare nap, so I’ll probably write a bit of that scene before I try to doze a little myself.  I’d be surprised if I don’t finish it this weekend, even though I’m expecting back the first reads on both Lowborn and Secret of the Wood this weekend as well.

I’ll probably just read the critiques, let them simmer in my head for a while, and continue on with the next chapter of SOTM.  As I said before, I don’t want to hop off that horse while she’s still running strong.
