If nobody is telling the story you want to read, then you must tell it yourself.

That was really hard.
Chapter 7 is pretty much done. I’m taking a couple days’ break from working on it before I look again with fresh(ish) eyes to see if anything jumps out at me.
Wordcount is ~14,000. A bit longer than I wanted, but many important and complex things surface in this chapter, so I think it’s justified.
And I ain’t talkin’ about wee little Crystal schmoozing up to Night Cloud. Oh no.
Let’s talk about Nautical Mile and Orchid Wisp. Let’s talk about the salty old galley cook who became a mutineer and captain of her very own ship (for a couple months, anyway) and the sassy brothel mare who warmed her cold heart—and, incidentally, both of whom became freaky flying undying wizard horses. Spoilers below the break.
Still alive! Still slow, as always.
Still writing. Still struggling to write. Still obsessed with these silly horses.
Placed below the break for anyone who has not read past Chapter 2. If you haven’t, no clicky!

I probably should have said this a few weeks ago, but I took an unintended break from rewriting things.
Translation: I burned myself out writing close to 50,000 words of mostly-original narrative over the span of two and a half months.
