Chapters are being a lot longer in this than in Novel the First, but I think that's partly a function of having decided to limit myself to a single primary POV this time.
Nela, my main character, is showing herself as a lot more naive about the universe than in the first draft, and much more in need of the rude awakening that's coming her way. And Dr. Tems, my main secondary character, is showing a lot more depth and, honestly, a lot more meanness. Which makes for some nice interactions as they try to figure each other out.
Still feels like I'm on the right path, even if it's very painfully one sloooow step forward at a time. Almost done with this chapter and then I might be just about ready to start throwing the bad guys at them. If they each think their biggest problem is each other, they've got a hell of a surprise ahead...
