I've finished retouching the first three chapters, adding about 12,000 words in the process. This puts the book on track to be 70,000-90,000 words when complete, which is what I'm aiming for.
I've made the hero a pawn of the villains -- at least to start with.
I added a plotline for the heroine, who now has her own PoV scenes and an exciting career in piracy.

Yup.
My fantasy wip has it all.
Pirates.
Gladiators.
What could be more fun than a story with pirates and gladiators?
