"Well, I'm back."
Yes, I am actually Samwise Gamgee.
Hmmm, big thanks to Konoka who kept everyone entertained, even if it was at my own expense. To everyone else, sorry for the disappearing act, but it was necessary so I can't say I'm too sorry.
Over my break I did some thinking and while I haven't finished too much work on the next chapter, I've decided to procrastinate a little bit further. Basically I'm taking a page from soulguard's book (not literally) and will be doing a small side story chapter called, "The Defense of Gestahl".
It will be small, maybe five to seven thousand words, and basically will be just a look at Sergeant Johnson and probably Eranumee as they fought off the Covenant in Gestahl before the Master Chief/Cyriacus arrived and blew everything up. Originally this was a huge scene in the previous chapter, but because of many forced rewrites, I lost it and was forced to skip the whole thing, which sucked because it was a very enjoyable piece.
I've still got a few days more off of work, so who knows when I'll have it finished. Sometime next week for sure. I'm still deciding on the layout. A part of me wants to do it in first-person, but that'd be somewhat confusing to have such a sudden switch.
Anyways, look for me to come back on the weekend with more information, for now, I am in need of a desperate trip to the land of unconsciousness.
