I have finally fought my way out of one chapter into another! Periodically, I hit a section where it seems to go on forever. However, it is moving forward again. My characters are once again moving in a direction I had not previously considered, but it fits well with my plan. (Editing notes are also growing apace, as there are some rough spots that will need smoothing and some overgrowth that will need trimming!)
All in all, satisfactory!
