run, runt, run

Finished Ch. 36; 64,178 word count

Writing Tip: Sometimes the same word of a similar word sneaks into a sentence. I ran into that in this chapter.
I had:
Verrin Schope asked the innkeeper to put several tables together so his party could sit together.
Oops! Rewrite:

Verrin Schope asked the innkeeper to join several tables so his party could sit together.
This wasn't in today's writing but it is something that can happen:
The runt kept running back and forth in the dog run.
Even though runt isn't related to running and run, it still has too much similarity to be allowed.
