Chapter Ten and Overall Progress

Well I knocked off Chapter Ten in short order which put me roughly 1/4 of the way through my first draft. Well, not quite, since the later chapters are likely to be significantly longer, but still, I'm pretty happy with it. Here's a little list of my current chapters and their word counts.


Chapter One: 2,638 words
Chapter Two: 1,231 words
Chapter Three: 1,346 words
Chapter Four: 1,637 words
Chapter Five: 2,121 words
Chapter Six: 1,955 words
Chapter Seven: 1,982 words
Chapter Eight: 2,119 words
Chapter Nine: 1,820 words
Chapter Ten: 2,008 words.

Total Word Count: 18,857
It's 69 pages in Microsoft Word, which means little, if it were to get published the page count would be very different based on the size of the pages and font. If I had to take a guess, I'd say it will end up around 80-85,000 words total. Looking back, Chapters Two and Three will both be longer after I go through and edit. Now back to writing and figuring out a title!

Chapter Nine

Still no title, this is really bugging me...but I did finish a very important chapter nine so I'm pretty happy about that.

Chapter Eight

First off, I don't have the title yet, still working on it. On a positive note, I finished chapter eight. Really excited to get into chapter nine, things speed up even more from here on out so I'm gonna get back to it.

Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven is now complete, and I've realized that I really need to put some more thought into the title of this story, hopefully the next time I post here I will have it!

Update

Just realized that I haven't put anything here for almost a week, I've been taking a bit of a break to give my creative thoughts time to shape where I go from here, starting up again tomorrow.

Another one bites the dust

I finished up the rough draft of Chapter Four today. The further I go, the more excited I get to really get into the true heart of this story. Things are starting to pick up momentum and I love it!
