Finished (and started) chapter 17 today.
My new philosophy for these coming chapters is to create more chapters with less words. This will end the book at maybe 25-27 chapters. These short chapter bursts will hopefully let me write the last 20k words carefully. I am cutting back from 2k words (per day), to write the chapters in short 1k bursts. I will then write an additional 500-750 words on the chapter, to squeeze out whatever flavor or interests me most about those scenes, as the book draws closer to the dramatic conclusion. So in essence, they will be roughly 2k chapters for a while. I'm hoping this will give the last chapters symmetry, and a poetic feel.
Chapter 18 tomorrow!
