Well, I don't plan on it. Of course, nobody ever does plan on going seven months between posts, but the point is that I think I should be able to better next time.
Part of the problem with this particular chapter is that one part of it (the bit where Pancho Gonzalez bickers with Ethan Little at the bar) was
kicking my ass. At the same time, I knew it had to get in there, for reasons that I hope I'll be able to make obvious and that I've already foreshadowed at least a little. So I'd come back to it every now and then and stare at it and just not be able to make it work. And then I'd walk away and come back to it, and each time the walking away would last a little longer.
Eventually, I managed to just chop the thing down until I could get a handle on it. But I still think it's by far the weakest part of the chapter.
So, yeah, let's just hope that doesn't happen again.
