NEW UPDATE:

As of now, chapters 23, 24, and 25 are all done. I've written over 5k today. I'm not capping the count because I'm not done, but as of this moment, the current TOTAL story WC stands at:

68,110


So close to 70k. Part 2 is currently at about 24k. I'm estimating it'll be between 30- 35k before part 3, so I think I'm on track to finish part 2 before the end of the month. We shall see! Act 1 was 45k ish so... I could be wrong! Again, this is first rewrite territory so I'm really just trying to get the story out here.

holy crap sound! you are doing so much! I'm sure if you keep up the momentum you could finish part 2 before the end of the month. I love seeing the little comic panels and the world and esp characters you've built up thus far!

I haven't done a total WC as of last night but I did finish chapter 26 as well, so I'm probably at 70k now! Onward to finishing part 3..... somewhat soon? James's life continues to go downhill. Naturally

Also thank you @avimoon and @goodolnoah for the encouragement!!! I can't wait to share more when it's all done :^)

UPDATE:

Current Approx WC: 75.9k
Current Approx WC for Today 3.8k

Going to try to pump out another chapter today. I'm getting really close to wrapping up part two - Part Two stands at roughly 31k at the moment. Part 1 is 44k. I have a feeling part 2 will come just under 40k... maybe 35-38k.

Part 3, I'm not sure about. I have an outline but need to beef it up with some more specifics, but I love the planning process, so I look forward to teasing it out in a few days.

The end is near... I think in another 40k I'll be done. And, well, considering I've written 40k in the past three weeks, I think I could finish this novel in the next month or less.

Exciting!

LMAO thank you @Lael (I promise I wasn't fishing for compliments I was just being silly with an attitude because I had to drag my feet while making them LOL)

So I did a full count of the comic pages I've done w/in this project so far, and I've drawn 29 pages.

29 comic pages.

For perspective, the average comic book is about 32/34 pages. Graphic novels have a much higher number w/out an exact cap but they average around 100-300 pages.

Considering this is a hybrid book, I'd say I'm doing pretty good (and obviously I'm not done with all the flashbacks/memories).

UPDATE:
WC for PART 1: 44,290
WC for PART 2: 39,565
TOTAL WC: 83,855
TOTAL Comic Pages Included: 31

TODAY'S CURRENT WC: 3,656

I have hereby finished part two and am ONWARD! To part THREE! The last and final act of this book. Will there need to be a second book to wrap things up? Most certainly. But this is just the beginning! I celebrate this beginning and the beginning of an end of one arc. Am excited.

This also means I officially finished the mid-bar goal for this camp novmo. HUZZAH! (I will still keep writing though - this story ain't done yet!!!!)

I christen part 3 with 4 new comic pages, and now I endeavor to finish chapter 31 (the written portion) today.

I salute thee, fellow camp novmo-ers.

Here's my favorite panel from these pages. To be quite honest, the rest are very mid, but I'm just trying to finish the draft. You know, when you're in that phase? The "just get it written and polish it later" phase? Yeah. We're there, now, lads.
