how to measure progress

Finished the first chapter of the fourth book of my upcoming SF series.

So 1 chapter down, 9 to go.

But! I’m writing the four books of the series all at once and releasing them all at once (hopefully in October), so maybe I should view them as a totality.

In that case, 31 chapters down, 9 to go! That sounds much more impressive. I should totally frame it that way.
