10/07/2009: Chapter 50 finished
I've just finished the chapter at twenty pages. Going to take a nap before the final proofreading and editing (though yesterday I actually went through the battle, soon after I'd finished that, and modified and added in several bits, so I might be a little less thorough on that part this time).It seems one of my "talents" is starting to write something completely aimlessly and then discovering halfway through, just as I am pondering deleting it because it's random and pointless, that it is actually leading up to an important point that I had never thought about but actually kind of needs to be made or is at least sort of neat. I think it's happened with three individual scenes in this chapter alone, and thanks to this all my previous potential doubts about having this as chapter fifty have completely vanished.

What's your average word count per page?
(Or in other words, do you count pages as single-spaced, or double-spaced?)
Just curious, since if you use 500/600 words per page (single-spaced), then all the chapters would be twice as long in a normal-sized book (which is approximately 255 words per page).

They're double-spaced, but the average word count per page is still around 450-500 words - the Word document reached 250,000 words total in this chapter, and it's 568 pages in all now, with the final page of each chapter often largely blank plus some spacing around the notes at the bottom.
