Geez, chapter 9, finally
FF.net is broken. Maybe it will be fixed by the time I get Chapter 10 to upload.
Chapter 9, the Queen Susan in Tashbaan, Means and End, Part 1, The Means

Oh, and for the record, I am completely freaked out by the NFFR Award nominations. Blithering, terrified, and moronic. Yeah, that about covers it.
Off to buy a bowling ball, frozen Butterball, which, according to Cooks Illustrated (the Consumer Reports of cooking magazines) delivered the best results short of those heirloom birds at 3 dollars a pound, plus shipping and handling. The food safety experts agree that you want a bird that was slaughtered and hard frozen a few months ago when the processing lines were slow and that those heirloom birds might be coming from farms whose hearts, but not food safety heads, are in the right place. No brining or salting a Butterball though.

Loved Chapter 9! There's a straggling "f" at the end of the first line of the story, I think; FF.net has definitely been having troubles the last two days.
So for my in-flight reading this coming Wednesday, here are the numbers: Part 1, with page breaks at the end of every chapter, is at 204. Part 2 is currently at 170. I've omitted most of the non-story related notes. I'm thinking 4 pages per sheet of paper will help me save some trees at the very least.

And, have a wonderful trip!!

You're writing a great, glorious tome, Ruth! Even with the outtake, Part 2 stands at 187 pages. It'll be less once I shrink the margins and font size down before printing.
And congratulations on the NFFR nominations. Very well deserved!
