True! I was just lamenting this fact, too. It's a (fun) challenge to try and make this story work with all the things yet to come and still steer it back to what we see in SA. But I think I'm almost there. Hopefully it doesnt' become another 5 chapters.
I think.... If I continue writing at the pace I was in october... I'm 3 or 4 chapters away from a resolution?!
We'll see. I don't have a good track record of sticking to proper chapter lengths or amounts so..... yeah...
