I'm not quite sure yet, Fred. It's shaping up to be longer than usual, I'll tell you that -- I set myself a firm rule that starting with chapter 3, each installment will cover a month of school, and I've just gotten to the evening of the first day of classes. (That actually sounds worse than it is. I have big chunks of stuff written that come after that point which are included in the byte count, but which I don't count toward "completion" until I write up to their proper places. But I still have more text written between start-of-chapter and Doug's Arithmancy tutoring with Vector after dinner on the first day of classes than I thought I would. (And no, she's tutoring him.)) I have several key events I need to hit before I can wrap up the chapter, and not all the paths to them are obvious to me yet.
Real life is not getting in the way, not more than usual; it's just that the task is bigger than I anticipated.
