For those who are following progress on the second novel, another snapshot.
The target word count is, of course, just guesses, and there's still some summary text being unavoidably included in the word count, because the software I use isn't a sophisticated as I'd like... a lot of development time was spent instead on features no one needs.
As a retired software engineer, I could make my own novel writing software... but that would be a project that isn't the sequel.
Suffice to say, don't look too hard at the upper progress bar. It's a wild guess.
The point is that the project is moving, and any project that keeps making progress eventually must finish.
