So... yeah, I just wanted to say, as I'm sure some of you have already noticed... the latest chapter of Winds of the Past has now been split up into three parts. Hopefully this will make it a bit more reasonable, and ah, less intimidating to read... 
Winds of the Past Update #3 · 2:58pm Sep 27th, 2014
Alright, time for an update!
Its been roughly eight weeks since my last update, but on the upside, Chapter 7 is finally finished, weighing in at around 11,600 words. It'll be ready to go in an hour or two, and I can only hope you guys like it. Turned out a lot longer than I anticipated, and I had to spend a little more time than I would've liked on this one due to certain scenes. Because of that, the other two chapters sadly won't be posted along with this one; but that's not to say I haven't made progress on them. Both 8 and 9 are roughly around 5000 words and are both somewhat close to completion. You can expect those two to be uploaded together when the time comes.
In the case of this chapter, one is better than nothing I suppose, and I didn't want to keep you guys waiting any longer than I already have working on the other two just so I could upload all three at once. >_>
But anyway, as mentioned, the new chapter will be uploaded soon. In the meantime, the chapter's currently on FanFiction.net if anyone wants to check it out now.
Until next time. ^^
you don't know how happy it makes me when I see this story update, thank you so much!
