As of today, I have six chapters completed, but have decided to add a prologue, per someone else's advice. That person was correct; I needed something more exciting to draw the reader in at the very beginning.
My ultimate goal is to reach at least 300 pages. I have 77 pages done so far, so I'm about a quarter of the way to my goal. I did a chapter-by-chapter outline of the whole story, which has helped a lot. I don't get hung up on where to go next, like I have so often in the past when I've tried to start books. At the rate I've been going lately, making it to 300 pages doesn't seem like it will be difficult. The main obstacle for me will be time.
