Starting 'The End Of The Nightlord'

I wrote 1,000 words yesterday, starting 'The End Of The Nightlord'. It felt good to be getting back to writing. Since I have less written on this novel it's not going to be the 'simple re-write' that the first two novels have been. I'm not completely sure of the outline at this point – but I feel the need to incorporate 'more plot' this time. The characters have woken up in 'The Binding Returned', and developed in 'The World Revealed', and now need to start pushing their weight around – and getting some serious resistance to their actions.

It's a bit hard to have your main character start throwing punches – when he feels morally compelled to not simply replace the existing dictatorship which has been holding The World in a stasis it enjoys. It's a bit like having The Buddha being called upon to act like Che Guevara.
