caper_estAbout another kiloword since last posting. But now the prose is starting to stretch and separate like flimsy cloth, as I run into a new area of insufficient detail, and make stuff up as I go along. More work needed on developments in the Northdales during Kate's long exile: times, names, places of the rising oppression and discontent. Also specifics on the doings of the young Duke and his two former guardians, who remain his Evil Genius on the one hand and his Relatively Okay Genius on the other. I can't keep the irrelevant ones out of the book until I first know what they are...
Naturally, the Relatively Okay Genius is a smarter and more serious danger to our heroes than Lord Evil weevilling his worst. I think I may have underplayed the conflict with him in the original plotline. I wonder why? Kate has even more reason to hate and fear him, than she does the evil weevil.
From a distance, it looked like I knew most of what I needed to about the Dales-Lords already. Ah well!
