One task I have been avoiding is fixing the chapter numbering. I have deleted three chapters so far. One just wasn't relevant and got the axe. The other two I never finished and when I got to them, I saw why. Neither warranted their own chapter and both were resolved by adding a sentence (or less) to the preceding or succeeding chapter.

I am now 65% finished with revision and am confident that any chapters remaining will be kept. I'm moving toward the climax and those chapters left all represent pieces that need to be moved into position. This means that I can renumber all the chapters. A pain in the ass if you're not using Word (where you can view as outline and see all your chapter titles if you marked them as Headers rather than text). But I did it nonetheless and now my chapters are properly sequenced.

Black Magic and Barbecue Sauce is 69 chapters long. How fitting. :D
