ksmith: (gimme a break)

152,081 words. 745 pages, give or take, since the last chapter is a 200+ page behemoth that I need to chop up prior to printing tomorrow.

It needs buffing, polishing, tweaking, and possibily cutting--the word count and page count don't seem to add up. I've already made notes on a few things that I think slipped off the table, but I'll worry about it when I get the revision notes.

The damned thing's done. Hasn't got a decent title yet, and I'm not sure about that Epilogue, but it's a readable, editable, fixable draft. It's done.

More on Bouchercon tomorrow, after I get HOME.

Wow. I'm lucky if I can ever get 1,000 words before I decide it's garbage, and restart from scratch (unless it's an SOP or manufacturing procedure; I can write those till the cows come home). I'd say "Congratulations", but you've probably already picked that up from the previous 5 posts. How 'bout "Cheers"?
