Proof of progress

... Except for the part where my camera thinks it's still 2014.  Gotta try to fix that.  And yeah, you don't actually get to read my crappy rough draft, sorry!

Estimated Chapter Words: 6,600
Estimated Book Words: 6,600
Number of days on which I wrote at least one word: 16
Average estimated words/day: 412.5
Research: Ungendered English pronouns.  Dredging for memories of academic conferences I have attended.
Favorite line: "Mrs. Bassett was the kind of skinny that's based on genetics and supported by starvation - all sharp angles and smug superiority."
How to end a chapter: With gunfire somewhere in the hotel!

That's ... a much better average than I expected.  If course, I'm estimating about 300 words per page, based on counting a few pages' worth of words in this notebook.

And of course if you count the days since I actually started the chapter it's more like 235.  Which is still pretty good, for me.
