Since I have embarked on my reworking of Part One of book one by writing in character chunks, I've added another 1400 words today. I hope to have a second writing session tonight to finish off this chapter, which should take about another 1500 words.

So far so good. My antagonist is getting impatient waiting for his turn. He hasn't been all that happy about having to abandon the only thing he has coveted to go off across the world on someone else's orders.
