1/5th+ done

(an update to chapter ten tonight)
Judging by the standard novel length (50,000 words) I am a little over 1/5 of the way through the novel. Actually, I think it might be a bit of a challenge to make my book that long!
Why must I have such a concise style?!
At least I'm in good company in that respect (Issac Asimov comes to mind).
