Working title

Drumheart.

I'm almost at the end of Nitsur's piece. Finish up the temple scene today, insh'allah: then there'll be some editing to do overall, but that'll wait until after NaNoWriMo. Start Mafileo's part, probably beginning with a reprise of the temple scene from her POV and then going back to her childhood and training.

Nitsur's piece is roughly a third of the novel, maybe a little more. I'm guessing it'll come to 33,000 - 34,000 words. That suggests a finished draft length of between 90 and 100,000 words. Wow.

Update: Finished the temple scene. Nitsur's section is now complete (unedited). He comes in at almost 34,000 words.
