janni: At 15,000 words I’m thinking maybe the plot will show up sometime soon?
lnhammer: Last book you were saying that at 35,000 words.
janni: Oh, right. (pause) More like 40,000, actually.

@Secondary_Character: Either you are really, really stupid, or you’re really, really smart and encouraging my Protagonist to be really, really stupid. It’s remarkably hard to tell.

17000 / 50000 words. 34% done!
