I've made some progress, though I really haven't going at my best fit writing speed.. Not helped by the fact that my length guesstimate just keeps climbing upwards. I've managed to get to 26K but given how much of the story is left, I'm probably looking mid-to-high thirties in total.

Sigh.

But if I keep my nose down, maybe I can get the first draft done by the end of the month, because lord knows some of the plot lines still need work.
