Trivia – You know that phenomenon that happens when you are watching a clip online, then it just stops? Well, this chapter is a bit like that. The good stuff has stopped and you just have a sketchy summary.

My plan had been to entertain you with the good chapters written earlier while I worked on the stuff that hadn’t been written yet. But at least one of you (muse mine) persuaded me to spend real time effort, so the chapters after Joseph’s death are still somewhat uneven. Some are fully realized, but others are sketchy or not even written yet.

So, do we wait for me to:

a) write the chapters real time, or

b) go ahead and post what I have, attempting to flesh out the bones of the plot before coming back to write it ‘right.’
