It's been a while since I posted, but it's because I've been rather busy.
I had a series of serious RL issues with prevented me from writing for a while...I won't go into them, but let's just say that they demanded my full attention. After I got that sorted out, I wrote nearly 17 pages of Sub 11, decided it sucked, then scrapped it and started over.
Rewrites are the debil, but in this business, they happen. A LOT. I've probably written at least an entire extra book's worth of scrapped material for every book I've written. I've scrapped entire chapters before...which really annoys me. Not that I scrapped it, but that it took me that #$%^@ long to realize that it sucked and wasted all that effort and energy into something that gets deleted.
No, Grey, you can't see the scrapped material. It's already gone. :P
I'm back on what I think is the right track...but only time will tell. Subjugation suddenly stopped being easy to write after the end of chapter 10, hehehe. It like takes EFFORT now.
You mean people, making me WORK! *sniff* I hate you! I want my mommy!
MOOOOOOOOMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: update of the life of Fel...
Fel, if you need something easy to write for a while, and by accident you have made "Subjugation" harder to write after last chapter (meaning it would require I think some plan and research), making it impossible to write-on-the-fly, maybe then concentrate on other stories? I mean writing "Subjugation" was meant among other things as break from very work-intensive to be "Pyrosian Chronicles"... So maybe a little more of "Alpha Project" or "Dragon Star", eh?
Or maybe some short stories in Sennadar universe? Just an idea...

Re: update of the life of Fel...
I seem to remember a thread a while back when Fel was tossing around possible ideas about a Tarrin crossover story with something else... Earth, maybe? I don't have time to search, but something completely random like that might help too. I know that's how I ususally get inspiration back.

And in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winter born
And in this moment..I will not run
It is my place to stand
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands
(bloodied hands)
And in our Dying, we're more alive-than we have ever been
I've lived for these few seconds

Re: update of the life of Fel...
Fel,
Just wanted to check on how RL was treating you. Hadn't seen any posts from you in a while. Did you have a fulfilling spring break? Hit any of the beaches? Hope classes are doing well too. Any hint on how the stories are going?
Thanks,
J-Man5
