Chapter 15.6: Novel & Obscure

I'm closing in on 200 pages again, which will (for now) represent 30 chapters of story. I can tell already that much will need to go and much will need to be better developed. But by the middle of August, I hope to be able to print out 200 pages of novel and read through it. I still believe I can be done with a first draft by the end of 2004. We'll see.
