Still trying to finish up chapter six. I'm making daily progress, but admittedly slower than I was aiming for. I hope to finish up this morning and have made some headway on chapter seven by the end of the weekend.
When you sit down and do the math the calculation is daunting and demoralizing:
Number of chapters in total - 45.
Number of chapters completed/first pass - 6
Number of days to complete existing chapters - 48
(Calculated) number of days per chapter - 8
Number of chapters remaining - 39
(Calculated) number of days left to complete the first pass at the entire novel - 312
(Approximate) number of days in a month - 30
(Calculated) number of months left to complete the first pass at the entire novel - 10.4
