Statistics, in passing, on my current project (whose working title is Lesbians Yay! or Elf & Dragon, depending on how I feel about it at the moment):

Current chapters: 12
Current wordcount: 55,158
Average wordcount per chapter: ~4600

Expected final wordcount: ~100,000
Expected post-edit final wordcount: ~85,000

Started on: November 12, 2012
Average monthly wordcount: ~7300
Goal completion date: August 2013
Expected completion date: AHAHAHA

It's nice to feel like I'm making progress, though. That's a chunk of wordcount, there. I am fully engaged with the obligatory squishy middle of the book. (And my goodness will a lot of this wandering get edited down in the second draft. But that's for later. Finishing first.)

7300 words per month is quite respectable, in my world. And hey, you're past the halfway point; inertia's on your side from here!

Well, okay, sometimes momentum is just the poorly-supported mountain falling on you. ;-) But still... progress!

*cheers you on*

I could never have gotten through my Dreaded Middle of the Book without help from my Beta Above Rubies, who, whenever I got stuck, would ask me questions until I knew what I needed to write next. Plus the spilled tea was her idea.

You can do it!
