I finally finished chapter 19, which took an unexpected turn at its end. As a result, the visit to Oweynagat has been pushed down a chapter. Chapter 20 is now called "Strategy and Tactics", and Fráechán is going to play some games of
fidchell (a board game similar to chess which was important in several episodes of
The King's Druid) with Mac Tire, the leader of King Suibne's bodyguard whom we met in
The Fallen Stones and under a different name in
Flight of the Hawk. After that Gwernin et al will eventually be going to Cruachan for Oweynagat. Unexpected developments make writing more fun <grin>.
More writing means less yard work, but there's no urgency with that this time of year. The weather has been mild and dry for the last couple of weeks, and almost all of the snow has left my back yard except for some tattered remains of the November blizzard in shadowed spots. It doesn't look like we'll get a white Christmas this year, which is all the better for travelers. We'll be celebrating Midwinter on Saturday, outside for a change. It will be nice to celebrate with a real fire!
