I'm working on Chapter 28 now. So while my buffer will is down to 14 chapters, I'm actually pleased it's not lower than that. I swear at this point, I feel like I'm not actually writing this thing, I'm just transcribing events. The characters just... go off and do their own thing. My topic sentence to one of my editors recently was, 'I hate my muse.' I think I understand what Old Man With a Pen was talking about. My subconscious mind is very strange.
