Ha!! I should have known not to be too pleased with myself over a first draft - especially as I know I have to do basic editing, let alone for tense use and passive sentences after.
I'm not too worried about the vocabulary references though, as I'm writing in strictly modern English, and looking to move towards a more vernacular POV as Abercrombie does.
However, the repetition is an interesting point as this has come up before - at worse is just means further edits should reduce my word count, which is no bad thing.
