Saw a tweet from Joelle from a couple days ago saying that she's "halfway through the new novel's 1st draft"
So somewhere between your best (draft complete) and worst (draft not started) cases.
That probably refers to JP's first solo book for Baen (she has a two book contact as a solo author); there is not yet (as of the interview at SF signal not long ago) a contract for book 4 though DW said he expects that to happen soon as RTH seems to be doing well
The link is here (very interesting though little new beyond the usual known but a lot of great anecdotes from DW); part two has more substantive stuff about the Honorverse (see that forum for link/discussion); nothing about Safehold though beyond the known anecdotes:
