Had a much better day today that I have had for a while, with just slightly over 2200 words written and chapter seven also complete.
To date the first seven chapters total around 26,600 words.
Having seven chapters completed is actually a big achievement, considering how I structure my stories. I have always, from the earliest days of writing, planned my stories around three parts of seven chapters apiece, which means I am one third of the way through. At the current rate that puts the rough draft at around 80,000 words by the time it is over – though my guess is it it probably won’t end up the long until after the polishing begins.
Tomorrow we commence with the second part of the draft, with chapter eight.
