caper_estKiller-Kate and Luke Lackland: 440 words. Things are now getting seriously weird in two separate ways.
Structurally, the Lesser Climax - the final showdown with the Bad Baron - is now starting to come into view not sequentially, but detail by detail. I have one scenelet from the Battle of Carrowglaze, one chapter ahead; and one bit of its aftermath which I only saw coming this last week or so, beginning the chapter after that. So three chapters now active simultaneously. I take this as a sign that the tale is truly closing at last, and that this block I'm writing in here is all an essential unity.
As to the writing itself, I'm starting to hit patches like I did towards the end of Katy Elflocks, where there are things going on that can't even be tackled in naturalistic prose. Battles are raw and fundamentally disenchanted, with magic or without it; but some of that other stuff, eh.
Must write mini-council scene. Nasty nasty council scenes. Had to get these good bits down first, though, before I lost my handle on them.
