Wrote about 3500 today to go with the 1500 I had done previously as the alleged intro to the aborted Part IV (I liked it so much I kept it as opening to the Conclusion.
Conclusion is a thought experiment based on the 1933 H.G. Wells novel, The Shape of Things to Come.
Total chapter volume was 5,030, bringing final manuscript (give or take a thousand for missing intro to part II, which I've written and need only to expand from 720) to 184,067. So let's call it 185k sans Preface, which I will wait to write after big edit with Mark, which begins in about a week.
Now I clean the house thoroughly for the first time in about six months!

I always thought the last words of the bible should be: "To Be Continued!"
Maybe something similar would fit Tom's work.
