Chapter 22
After finishing up most of the new website for Laurie Brooks, I got back to writing and finished Chapter 22 last night. It was a Bran chapter and brought that character closer to his inevitable climax at the book's end.
As the word count stands:
The next chapter will be great fun to write. Monk "dwarves," dragons, and a lake in the heavens. It's going to be a lot of fun to write. Technically Chapter 21 and Chapter 22 should be one chapter but it would just be too large if complete that way. I think Chapter 23 will be a quick chapter to write and I will begin that tomorrow. It is already outlined.
Chapter 24 will see a return to Cardinal Cormac. I am really looking forward to that chapter. Then two chapters with Bran. Then a chapter with Richard.
And by that time, the end battle will be on. For those of you who wish Terry would write longer climaxes... you'll get one with me. Chapters 28, 29, 30, 31, and 32 are battle-strewn mayhem!
All of the build-up the last year moves toward those last chapters. All storylines come together, all foreshadowing becomes real, and I'll be able to breathe a bit once I get there! Wish me luck!

They should be fun chapters to write for sure!
That was my biggest gripe about Terry Brooks. My eyes sometimes naturally glance a head a few sentences and then i'd realize that i missed the climax! Good to hear that won't happen hear :)
Chris: No, that won't happen here! In fact, people may wish the climax happen faster than I have it planned at the moment. There are three POVs going on in the climax and that will spread it out a bit.
