Wintry Weather and Writing

Just a few updates here, to keep folks informed:

• We heard from some of our friends in Pakistan; it's fairly dicey there with demonstrations and unrest stemming from people's shock over the assassination, but our friends are safe enough.  One thing we all learned living there was what to do and not do when there was unrest!  Thanks so much for your expressions of concern and for your continued thoughts and prayers!
  
• It's snowing big time here in Wisconsin.  I'm thinking of going out to shovel just for the fun of it.  ;-)   It's going to be a lot of snow, but at least it's not the blizzard my parents had to deal with last weekend.  We plan to drive to see them tomorrow, but it should all be plowed out by then.
• Project End Well is limping along, and it looks like I won't quite end as well as I had hoped, but I plan to judge my success according to quality rather than quantity, so I think I will still be happy with the result.  Anything not accomplished in the next 3.5 days will go into my resolutions for next year.

Speaking of next year, one of the goals I had was to get over my writing slump and get caught up on some of the pieces I have that are half finished.  I have several things I am working on at the moment, and the inspiration is flowing well, so I am very pleased about that.  I won't finish everything in the next few days, but I will finish some!

One of the things I'm happiest about at the moment is that I have finally managed a new chapter in my WIP Lords of Gondor.  It has been four months approaching five since I last posted a chapter, and that's just not good!  So one of my resolutions was to make sure that didn't extend into the new year.

So....  here it is!  If you need some review, just click on the tag and you'll see all the previous chapters posted as well.  Enjoy!

Have a great weekend, everybody!
