This now puts me at 27 of 38? (23 of 34 original chapters) done.

The chapter originally came in at 1,700 words and now sits at 2,600.

EEK!

My overall word total is now 88,000 or 17,000 higher than my first draft.

I was shooting to try and keep it under 90,000 but once the second draft is done I can look into slimming it back down depending on the editorial responses I get back.
