To be honest, this chapter posed some serious challenges both in writing and in recording. One of the reasons that I love writing fantasy fiction, is because I can make up whatever I want out of my head and it has to work because my brain says so. But when you bring that fantasy into the real world, suddenly you have to do a lot of research on what a location looks like, what the temperature might be like, what the plant-life is in the area, where are the rivers and streams, what kind of bugs occupy that location, and how do the people speak. It takes far more time to do the research, study the maps, and understand the landscape than it does to just write the chapter.
That being said, there are some issues with this recording. Hopefully you won't notice too much, but in the "Behind the scenes" section you'll see it clearly. :)
Without further ado, and because my pizza just arrived, please enjoy this recording of Chapter 11 of the Phoenix and the Enchanter.
