A few chapters back, I thought I was starting "the second half of Act 1". (I say "chapters," but they're tiny.) Since then....
...the number of chapters it'll take to get through the plot without rushing it is steadily increasing. Plus, some major characters are going to be offstage for way too long, so I need to find things for them to do. Plus, I plugged a gap in the story with a new idea for an action scene. Plus, that action scene means I kind of have to bring forwards a flashback sequence I was going to leave 'til much later in the story. Plus, the flashback sequence is also getting longer....
So, it's more like "the last three quarters of Act 1." Gives me hope I may someday manage to write a novel - I'd just have to start a short story!
