Update:
Just to let you know I'm still breathing. These chapters have been pretty hard to write, and after the last one I was just dead on ideas. I wasn't happy with the way I was showing events and I didn't know where I was going.
I now have about half of the next chapter written and I'm quite happy with it. I'm also thinking of shifting perspective over to Dionysia for a while which might help things move, but I'm not entirely sure on that count yet. There'll probably be only two or three more chapters of Stivik and Dionysia before we move on to the next part, which should be easier to write (and hopefully quicker
)
The shadow of Rupture Farms looms on the horizon.
