Lament of the Dove status check

As of last night I finished the fairly minimal edits on Chapter 17. This brings me into Chapter 18, which is perhaps the last place I need to add a seriously large chunk of new content–I need to create a whole new scene to go here. So this chapter will take me a bit.

It does mean, though, that I’m now within seven chapters of finishing this long, long edit pass. Wish me… not luck, but rather, the discipline and focus I need to just get this done.
