Alright, progress is down to three to four chapters a week with Wednesday usually taken off due to conflicting schedules. I've also started writing a one-off novel spy/magic thing for a creative writing class, but that's on a separate pipeline than Grind, so it shouldn't conflict with the work on this draft.

  speaking of which :

  65,603 words total, across 38 chapters and 225 pages.

  Writing quality ranges to slightly above to drastically above first draft. Since the rest of book one is very good compared to its start, I hope writing will become easier.

  This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

  At this rate of ~120 pages a month, draft two should be finished by the end of may, but that's pretty slow, so I'll adjust my schedule in march and begin a zipper draft (taking best elements from draft one and two) before a fourth draft with some professional help from an editor (hopefully).

  I've been seriously considering trying to traditionally publish Psychology of a Time Traveler, but that depends whether or not the prose is quite going to be good enough for that by the end of the fourth draft.

  I've decided to take the opposite approach I had for the first draft. During the first draft I just wanted to make something to get better at writing, but now that I've fallen in love with this story, I'm going to do everything in my power and in my time to make the story as good as it possible can be, even if it means using a lot of ideas I would've used for other series (my backlog can take it).
