Because books.

Oh, I always write in one continuous file. I'm way to lazy to merge them all later.

I just use a master document to tie them all together.

Fay by all means email me a copy if you wish. Profile addy is good. It may be few days till I get to it. Do you want only high level feedback or should I mention typos if I see them. (For someone who make so many friggin typos myself, I find myself surprisingly good at spotting them in others.)

So close now. I didn't manage to finish the rough draft this weekend, but I got about 7,000 words into the last chapter. Two or four scenes left depending out how you count them, so maybe another 2,000 - 3,000 words. Action always writes fast, and the last chapter is constant action.

I'll probably split the last chapter when I'm done with it. I've got a great spot for it to break. After the chapter a 1,000 word or so epilogue and rough draft will be complete.
