Chapters so far: eight
Total words: 70,814
Reason for stopping: finished the first eight chapters, which was the weekend goal.
Music: horror movies on Sci-Fi. Bad, bad horror movies.
Lilly: sleeping on the filing cabinet above my head. Like a fuzzy gargoyle.
So I'm eight chapters into the revision. My romantic lead has suffered a name change, going from 'Jason' to 'Kevin' due to some conflicts with, y'know, other books. Stupid other books, existing and...um...creating a genre for me to work in. Well, crudcakes.
My chapters have acquired titles, which is fairly spiffy, and I'm catching some excitingly uncaught continuity issues. (Seriously, I think that I and my proofers were both napping at certain points on this book. I will punish myself by watching more bad horror movies. Oh the agony.)
Productivity is awesome.

Randomly pondering chapter length here, don't mind me.

When I was doing 7k chapters they felt long. The 4k chapters have been much more managable.
And my YA only has 2k chapters, which now feels much too short next to your 12k ones. :P
