Moved the fan to Wonderful Husband's chair and have spent the evening editing by flashlight. But the light is starting to flicker and I've reached a decent stopping place, so I'm calling it a close. Am at page 354/611, and word count 122,586. Yes, down 748 words! This was mostly achieved by taking out the gratuitous story of Takidatsu having saved and (briefly) married a well ghost. Briselied's stalker has shown up and been given a name, and the court characters have arrived in the City of Seven Princes, so I've touched base with them as well. Chapter fifteen completed. And, yes, I did go back in and add in the ale jamming, as well as tweak draconic names. I've decided they go through multiple names in the course of their life; younger dragons have a name in English. Later, they get Japanese names. (This enclave of dragons was originally from that country, and from China a long time before that.)
