Day Fifty-eight - 107,922 words and counting

I'm writing a novel. All my progress can be found on my private blog. The commentary for each day's work can be found below.

Now I'm up to another Devan section, which should round out Chapter Six. It's going to end with a bit of a cliffhanger for Devan, although not too too much of one. Still, it should be enough of a hook to pull us into the next chapter... in which Bryony finally meets the Patroness.

I'm happy with the content of this section, though I'm not awfully happy with the writing itself. It felt clumsy to me, and I think it's going to need considerably revision to make it tolerable later. Still, I'm past it now and can get to the next scene along the line.

Tomorrow begins Chapter Seven. Six was a long chapter with three different viewpoints. I rather think that Seven will be just as long, but with only one viewpoint--maybe two, depending where I draw the line.
