Woot! Past 20k and the approximate one-quarter mark of the book! New progress-bar color to celebrate the passing of another 10k.

I reconfigured the one-off character I threw in two days ago to introduce a character who needed to be introduced, and that helped me figure out how to reorganize the exposition/discovery of information. And I may have even figured out how to get the event I thought should end quote-unquote Act One at about the one-third mark. Very win. (The ideas were hiding in the shower. They always are.)

So, onwards, and I have got some good momentum--I know what the next scene should probably be, I just have to place it in time/space and figure out a few more characters' details. With luck I will write that tomorrow, figure out the next scene, and keep moving along. I hope that this novel is actually worth something; I am quite enjoying writing it.
