As I type this I just finished the first draft for chapter 24 of The Pool Girl. I had planned on a longer chapter but it ended up about 13 pages and 4,200 words. Not everything is resolved that kicked off at the end of chapter 23 but it definitely moves things along and it felt appropriate to do it this way.
Thank you everyone for feedback and those that said they really wanted to see the next chapter soon were very encouraging. Things aren't going to be wrapped up in a neat little package for our protagonists when this current set of events is done but it will move things forward, which is good as events that started over the summer will come back starting in chapter 26 in ways they don't expect.
