I just finished chapter 9 of my newest draft of Mr. Kobayashi. Yes, I temporarily skipped over chapters 5&6 because I know I’m going to need some quiet time to go over these. What’s quiet time? I can’t ever seem to find it so they are going to wait. Chapters 5&6 are from Rikado’s and Kinni’s perspective. I think they play into just who Ehm is from the viewpoint of other characters but aren’t totally crucial to needing to be done at the current time. Later on when I approach chapter 20+ they come back into the story so I should have them completed before then.

Earlier today I ran my excel sheet and came up with some numbers.

So far I’m not that over my prior word count. This is a good thing.
