Still hovering around 30k, with lots of placeholder scene notes (lots and lots and lots); today's work was mostly shuffling some scenes to get the order right and cutting a couple of subplots from the beginning that didn't go anywhere, and then shifting everything from the notecard program to the word processing program and cleaning up format. It's hard to see the story through the format sometimes.
And then I re-read the first three chapters, and I'm still pleased. I think they work, I think everything gets set up and rolling at the right speed. Things fall apart after that, but I also think I've figured out why and how to fix it, and that this might turn into a book after all.
Now to get the notes into prose and onto the page.
