I'm on page 15 of the current chapter, and should have it done by the weekend.

But after chapter 11 is out, my time to work on the story will be spotty, at best. So it shows up when it shows up.

Looking back and averaging the number of pages per chapter for Spirit Walker, I come to 22.6.
If you have done 15 pages, that means you are (according to the laws of averages) about 66.371681415929203539823008849558% done.
At the time of your post, it had been 70 hours, 43 minutes since the last chapter was posted, or 4243 minutes.
That makes a rate of 0.015642630548180344930432007742059% completion per minute.
That makes the total time to complete the chapter 6392.78666... minutes, or 106 hours, 32.78666... minutes.
So, if the laws of averages hold true, the next chapter should be out on April 25, at 1:32 AM.

...

But that's not going to stop me from checking every half hour. :mrgreen:

And good luck on the Finals. Hopefully, you won't need it.

hey all,

good luck on your exams, Fel. I understand about exams. I working on a BFA in photography. but most of my art exams are critiques of projects. argghh. And in the case of my photography class, I have a 10 - 15 piece photography portfolio, all window matted due on 4/28 and the portfolio is centered around a theme or concept.

I need my chapter fix, man... can't fight the craving for more spirit...neeed my fix.(lol)

Having read chapter 11... There is not really a cliffhanger. More of a sense of forboding; a little more of Danna's point of view, and we learn that she's got some learning to do.

i really do hope that killing shot is going to mis clover, it'd better, knowing fel's characters, kyven'd stop loving dana pretty soon if she managed to shoot the kindest person he knew.

offcourse, fel has been known to pull our leg.

just as a thought, there are perhaps a million arcans in haven, governed by about 1000 shamans, since arcans are stronger then the average human, and shamans command incredible power, couldn't the arcans win an all-out war?

Problems with an all out war are yeah, arcans have shamans, but they don't have a lot of crystals, they don't have a lot of lightning tubes fire tubes, death boxes etc; the humans do. So where as you have 1000 really super soldiers, and the rest of the foot soldiers are stronger and faster than the humans, they still aren't faster or stronger than thousands of fire tubes or lightning tubes (which the army of humans would have*). It also comes down to numbers, just like in many fantasy/sci-fi stories, Fel has set up this world where there is an imbalance of numbers, there are lot more than just a million humans. And the east coast, where the humans are and where the arcans are slaves, is the place with all the crystals. Sure the shamans can make crystals, and now with kyven they might be able to cut them also, but there is only so much that the limited number can do, and kyven can only cut so many crystals. The industrial might of the loremasters/loreguard and their alchemists is just too strong, it would kind of be like the american civil war with the industrial north and the southern blockade runners. Ever crystal that the arcans wanted to get would have to be mined and shipped in from/through enemy territory, or made with some effort by the shaman.

It all comes down to numbers, and the arcan don't have them. :(

Fel, I'm astounded - chapter 11 had absolutely NO surprises. Not that it wasn't a great chapter, but I was hoping for a nice BIG cliffhanger. :twisted: :lol: I suppose that'd be mean though, with you being too busy to write much at the moment. :roll: :lol:

Thanks for gwtting out one last chapter before your exams, and once more, good luck on them. :)
