That’s chapter fifteen down, with only the sixteenth left. 🙂

I think the book’s not going to make the targeted 95K words. There’s almost no chance of the last chapter being almost 7K long–that’d make it one of the longest in the book, and I’m just not expecting that based on what’s left to cover. But it’ll still put me in the low 90s, and I’m quite content with that.

So, remember when I said that there was almost no chance of this last chapter being close to 7K in length?

Well, I’m at 5K, and I’m only just now getting to the final confrontation with the main villain. 😯

Guess this 16-chapter book just became 17.

How, exactly, did I manage to screw up my ankle on a damn in-home pedal exerciser?! That’s like cutting yourself on a freaking pretzel!

Oh, wait. I’ve done that. 😕  (Drew blood and everything, and yes, I have witnesses.)

Still shouldn’t have happened, damn it. It’s not like 20 minutes on a pedal exerciser is precisely an intense, injury-prone workout. 😛

I’m pretty much precisely on course here. Twelve out of sixteen chapters is 75%, and I’ve got 76% by word count.

Which would be great, if I didn’t have a number of short chapters ahead of me. I was actually hoping to be ahead on word count by now. 😳

Well, we’ll see. Not like it’s a disaster if I don’t come in precisely where I wanted, long as it’s not too far off…

Codex of Betrayal: Geryon, the Broken Beast (in Dungeon #176) was published by Wizards of the Coast for Dungeons & Dragons 4E as electronic material in the D&D Insider.

Thirteen chapters down, with… Well, see the subject line.

It’s a short chapter–shortest in the book, in fact. As to whether that proves a problem, guess we’ll see what the next chapters look like.
