I'm over half done with Draft 2.5, and I can tell my writing has improved, just during the course of this one draft.
If I extrapolate, my book will be over 160k words by the end of Draft 2.5. At 300 words per page, that's a 544 page book. I want to add even more description in later drafts, but I also know I'll need to cut about 25% of my wordcount to reach that magical 120k limit for a debut fantasy novel.

Finished the 1st POV's Draft 2.5, 24 days after I had hoped.
The final 6 scenes took me 20 days... lots of starting over, scrapping previous work, banging my head against the wall.
There are a lot of rough spots, but overall, this draft is SO much better than Drafts 1 or 2. I'm looking forward to more revisions.
Onto the 2nd POV, along with 1st POV edits.
