Well, halfway by chapters (finished eight of sixteen). A hair under halfway by word count, but even if I can't make up a 1% shortfall over the next chapters, as long as it doesn't increase by too much, I'll be close enough to my target to be happy.

And that marks the end of Chapter Six.

Or at least, tentatively. I'm far too tired to tell if tonight's words are actually any good...

Some of you will notice that my target has dropped from 100K to 95K. This is based entirely on where I am in the book so far (and honestly, I'll be happy with anything between 90 and 105K for this book). Here's hoping things stay more or less on-track; I really can't afford for this book to come in either grossly under or grossly over...

This is excellent, in that I'm making quick progress, which means the book is flowing.

But it's less good, in that I expected to be farther along in the outline--that is, in the plot itself--by the time I'd reached this word count.

Ah, well. It's still early yet--way too early to be worried about running over my intended total word count. (Which won't stop me from doing it, of course.)
