caper_estKiller-Kate and Luke Lackland: Luke came down this morning like a thunderbolt back into Langdale, in the 20 words I wrote of my new chapter.
Then on the train journey into work, I detected a stupidity and deleted 17 of them.
But that's nothing. Last night's plot twist gave me a notion for how to get rid of another 5K or so of my least favourite words during the redraft. Diplomacy is much more fun on the hoof!
Next job: fix his revised itinerary, and match up the times for the thing he, Kate, and Kate's son are all glimpsing from separate places. I may have to commit quite a dance between viewpoints in this chapter: all those three, certainly, and probably Elegant Elder Sister, and maybe even Flashy Elder Brother too.
