Here I stand

[desperance]

Okay, that's part five finished. While the last thirty pages are printing, let's have some metrics.

The book is here:

156,003 / 180,000 (86.7%)

or, in pages the cat can sit on:

489 / 560 (87.3%)

(Yup. The cat is now sitting on them.)

All the forecast numbers are flexible; I really have no idea how far this book still has to go. Clearly, I never did have any idea. The contract says 125,000 words; I anticipated 150,000; we've just passed that, and there's a whole lot of plot to come. I might just be able to ride a little of that over to vol two, but not much.

Part six, then. Last part: effectively one stonkin' great chapter full of Stuff. Like sprinting the last lap of a marathon. Madness, and shockin' careless judgement...
