At long last, chapter 10 has been posted. And who knew all it would take to clear my writer's block was being issued a deadline and threatened with having to write a Johnny fic as punishment for missing it?

Second Chances

Does that tell you how badly I really didn't want to write Johnny?

YEAH! Got it! Very happy. Read/reviewed!

I hope you get lots more snow days. One chapter every time it snows?

Maybe?

lol, I wish. I've had the confrontation piece written since November. I went through about five different versions of how to start it ... that was my problem. Never again will I end a chapter without leaving myself a clear path to follow to begin the next. Lesson learned.

Slave driver. :P

I was going to work on the Curly/Katie one-shot ... but if chapter 11 is more important to you, I guess I can switch gears.
