I knew the pace would pick up once I got past the beginning of the book, but I must admit that today's accomplishment has pleased me. And there is a good possibility that I will get the damn thing done tomorrow, or the next day at the latest.
Chapter 21, the last one I finished today, is originally chapter 17, and there are a total of 24 chapters in the draft. So I have seven more chapters to edit, and I don't think there are very many changes in those chapters.
In the draft, the first 17 chapters encompassed 88k words, and the new draft is up to 95.3k words. Giving me a finished estimate of about 120k words... about what I'd expected.
I want to do an editing pass with the grammar checker, and that will take a while, but the end is finally in sight!!!!
