I'm just back from the "Redneck Riviera". (Panama City Beach, FL) The Ol'lady, her younger sister and I took the 5 youngest grandkids to the beach for a week. We are sending them all back to their parents tomorrow. (Yay!)
Now that family obligations are met, I can get back to the salt mine and get an update completed!
I will get a decent size update out this month. The deal is that it won't be everything I need wrapped up for Chapter 1 so that means episode 10 will be in three parts. Not ideal, but there are so many loose ends that need to be addressed. I'd rather split it than do a half-assed job on important events in the story. It's either that or wait until I have everything I want complete. (I don't have a good handle on how long that would be.)
I'm adventuring on!
