As I Dunno, Bob...

Killer-Kate and Luke Lackland: Reread 4 chapters.  Luke back in Langdale, enchanters well out of their depth, the Duke down at Cottislowe,and Relatively Okay Genius up to plenty.  Just as well I decided to review this arc good and hard before proceeding.  My memory wasn't impressive enough to retain all the things Genius is doing at the same time, with this.

The Garcastle matter has a bit too much of people explaining stuff to each other at present.  The problem isn't As You Know, Bob - the targets don't know, and they do need to have it explained - but the overall effect needs streamlining.  This work should be eased in the redraft by no longer needing to have them explain the stuff to me!

Should be ready to resume writing by about the weekend, at this rate.  I really hope my original plans will still flow naturally from the turns the tale has taken.  Still not sure about that.
