All done.

All done.

Well, the novel is now complete. In all honesty, it took me a lot less time than I expected to get it done – I suppose that my thinking about the book for the last couple of years, and the changes that I would like to make, paid off. And a somewhat interesting note…before the revisions, the text was about 132,500 words in length. Now it is just 300 words shorter. It wasn’t my intent to either lengthen or shorten the book, just change material as I saw fit. I find it a little curious that it came out so close to the original.

I’m a bit exhausted by all this. Getting that much re-writing done in about 10 days required a lot of focus. So forgive me if I step back and recharge a bit before getting too much into this blog.
