Typing progress

[igenlode]

Right, I've typed up (but not finished tweaking) Chapter 2 of Hertha; being full of backstory, it runs very long, as I'd originally suspected, well over a year ago when I was first writing it. Eleven pages, equating to 4700 words -- that means I was writing nearly the average 450 words a page at that point, despite very heavy editing. Another ten pages for the next chapter in this book, plus two more notebooks at 64 pages each (minus a few abandoned pages, plus various overflow pages in another book would suggest an overall length of 65–70,000 words... and an average of well over 4000 words per chapter, which is a good deal more than I usually put in before a chapter break. I'm not quite sure what you can deduce from that, other than that it is a wordy story :-p

And I'm definitely going to change the title: the current version is "High City on a Hill", although the 'high' there might be regarded as already implicit in the location...
