Progress Update II

Progress has continued on All-New Sloane Lone; the project is currently sitting at 69,214 words, roughly a 20,000 word increase from where I felt I was in my previous update.

Almost the entire novel has been plotted on a scene-by-scene level; only the last one or two chapters need to be planned beyond a brief summary. Chapters 1-4 have been 95% completed, and chapters 5-7 are 80% finished. The novel will be between 10 and 12 chapters long in total. I expect the final few chapters to get finished a lot faster; the earliest chapters have been subject to a ton of revisions, and I don't expect the last few chapters to require more than a handful of changes after their initial drafts are completed, since they are not the bedrock of the book.

My writing acquaintances have been hearing about this book, and reading drafts of it, for the better part of four years. And so I'm sure they're relieved it's nearing completion. I'm relieved as well, and I'm excited for everyone to be able to read it.

A free preview of the book has been made available, which contains the first chapter.
