Chapter 9 – Part 20

The airship broke cloud cover. Instruments were checked, and barrel banks began to be unclipped. The gnome began adding barked commands to hand gestures, and the pre-sighted locations were mapped precisely along with wind speed and direction.

Down below on the ground, a Young Red peered up at the sky. What is that?

What’s separating from it?

I should explain this.have been redrafting this chapter, in which the Audairian forces attack from the air, and the next one, which is a dungeon crawl in the Wastes. I specifically did NOT want this chapter to be a repeat of last book's attack on Merylsward, or a thinly veiled ripoff of Slaughterhouse 5, for that matter. So I was re-writing it on my home computer...which crashed last week. I haven't been able to retrieve the file. Hopefully by month's end. Sorry!

Hey,

Hows the general life and new episode coming up?

:P

Charles said...

overly busy (which is good, I need the money), and every time I return to the novel I get writer's block. I may redo the entire last chapter

Question-I couldn't find anything about the "Balanced Palm" on the Eberron wiki- is this your own invention?

Merlon said...

Summer greetings. Stepped by to check if something new has appeared. But seems you enjoy your summer as well as i do. Best of luck :)

Charles said...

Sorry for the late reply guys.

Balanced Palm is my own invention, it was actually very difficult to come up with an Asian theme that hadn't already been done.

I've set myself a target date of 10/11/10 for a return

Outstanding, Sir Charles! I am a newer fan and I must say that this story is absolutely amazing!
