judging from the fact you're doing a chapter a day, either you're like my friend who can write 15,000 words a day, or you're rushing your work and not doing it the justice it deserves. How long words-wise are your chapters?

About....2000 words a day, approximately. But I also go back and add stuff or edit stuff as I go along.

THE NOVEL IS FINISHED!! !!

Sorta.

Some idiots threw a very loud party near where I lived, and I couldn't get to sleep. So, I finished the novel. It probably still requires some tweaking first.

Now I've gotta get the thing proofread and published. Probably needs some editing work.

I have a guinea pig, IRL, who very kindly read what was the first 20 pages (now the first 30) and gave her opinion of it. I took some of her advice and reworked some parts, as well as placing a glossary in the book.

Now, some time soon, I will get this thing printed, bound (in a single copy) and given to my guinea pig to read over and critique.

UPDATE: I have started preliminary writing on the next book. I have also added a minor, but important subplot to the first book.

The second novel has had its second chapter finished, and I have also completed work on the story (not the script) of a video game that is a side-story to all of this.

I was thinking of aiming high, and going to 2K. You know, the guys who did Bioshock? They have an office in Canberra.
