No submission from me this week, either. I needed to get back my momentum, and I identified the problem on why I'm having difficulty moving forward: I do not know why Haiden has come to enact his plan right now. If he dethroned Kurick, he would probably have a considerable political acumen to become Consul almost immediately, so there are areas to explore here. I also do not fully know the Khabor side of things, and while this new viewpoint character helps, there's still a blank spot in my book build. So, if Haiden is here now and legate terms are short, then there must either be some additional impetus to compel him to act now, or something had prevented him from doing so before. I must outline the direct consequences after the Collapse and how things changed afterward, which should give me a very precise picture on both accounts, and will probably tell me what's the full deal with the Khabor.
And as Ravenstar pointed out, she's not fully clear about the primary conflict. This also must be extremely concrete, and it will be to the character. These are the issues I'm going to tackle tonight and tomorrow.
