The novel is now about 140,000 words long. It's looking like it'll end around 42-44 chapters. I've done a bunch of character development as well as plot. It's looking decent.
The end was always the weakest out of the past two drafts. Considering how much time I put into the first 7/8ths of the book, I spent a fraction of the time on the end. I can't say that anymore. The end is shaping up solidly.
I'm also probably moving this site over to either Tumblr or Wordpress. I'm thinking Wordpress because it's more words than images, but I do like how Tumblr lets you have followers. Anyone have any ideas?
Anyway, estimated end date for this draft, 10/15/12. Estimated end date for the beta-reader's draft, 12/31/12.
