The End

I want another 10,000 words, though. This isn't as hard as it looks. The book is 362 pages long. That means I need to add about 28 words per page to bring it up to 80,000. I can do that just in the needed descriptions that I mostly skipped. I do that in drafts where I'm trying to work out the plot.

But it's good. I'll add the words as I do the line editing this time. Usually I would do them in two passes, but I am already so far behind on this one, that I really don't have that kind of time.

But this is it. I have the plot. I have a few pieces that worked very well, and some that I need to fine tune in the final draft.

I'm happy...
