Knight Commander: Chapter Ten

Posted by jetblack on October 6th, 2005

Finished Chapter Ten! It turned out to be a little shorter than I thought, but I got the basic point down in less words than the other chapters. Ten is more of a transitional and plot-wagon to the final third of the book, separated by an interlude/history lesson explaining what Hope Station is and where it came from. I’ve also revised my total word count, because I don’t think I’ll make it to 100k words. I’m glad I found my muse again, and Abbie’s been helping me with the tougher spots where I need the help.
