Artifice of Power Update # 17

Much better this week, though I’m just a bit short of my weekly goal. I hit about 6,000 words this week, fixed a very weak chapter which addressed the persistent problem I had mentioned being worried about earlier, and got a couple more chapters completed. This is a pretty short but positive update, with great progress coming off a rough week where everyone was sick. Here’s a few notable updates from the work this week.

The Arkaen and Niamsha moments I had completed a couple weeks ago needed a bit of a tone shift and I got that done in a rewrite of the chapterKilasha learned something critical and took major steps toward his major contribution to the storylineI got a really interesting new addition to the progress of politics in Sentar ProvinceTotal word count for the draft is just shy of 113k words, with 125k words written since I started this project (the redrafts are a tiny part of the work I did now, which feels really good!)
