This chapter is somewhat shorter, because I really wasn’t keeping track of chapter lengths at all. Still, hope you enjoy. This has the infamous ‘vines’ sequence, and some poorly written suspense, because I (as a PC in this campaign) really don’t know the villains or their plans. We just saw what directly affected us, of course, although when we stopped playing, we did chat a bit on what had been planned. (note to self – don’t forget to put in the suspense in other upcoming chapters : P )
I’m at 45,000 words, currently, and I’m (for once) not going to have trouble making it to 50,000. Always the last two years, I’ve conked out at 49,000 and struggled to put in the last 2%. But this year… Oh, Illinia only just got captured. She has to be rescued, and then to run a war! A short war, that’s already been happening, but this may take me a few days longer.
And because things seem to be going to well, I find myself unmotivated to work on those paintings I’m supposed to be doing… I’m going to try and do a couple tonight, but I for one will not be surprised if I spend the time writing. I think I’ll try to get to the rescue part. (Cameo time!)
For those I’ve been complaining to: Mr. Emopants is in what appears to be his natural environment right now, and he is far more interesting. Although there is some missing groundwork that I’m just going to pretend is there right now.
EDIT: I left paragraph 2, as it’s not very interesting or important whether I change it or not, but I made the fight scene a bit longer. Hope it’s better.
