Howdy,
I’m pleased to report, just the last time, the great rewrite is proceeding awesomely. Right now, I’m rewriting chapter 31. Regarding chapter count that puts the rewrite at approximately 69% complete. Taking consolidated chapters into account, I am about 82% through the rewrite. I guess the actual percentage is closer to 75%. Of course, after this exercise I will have to go through many rounds of editing; maybe I’ll call that The Great Edit.
My chapter length continues to edge upward, averaging close to 2,830 words per chapter. I expect this trend to continue into the editing process. Overall, I think this is a good trend. After all, none other than Donald Maass states that “breakout” fiction is typically long and contains lengthy chapters.
At my current pace, I expect to complete the great rewrite sometime during October or November of this year. That is a fact that makes me smile.
