Um, I think it's, maybe . . . finished?
Just under 70k words, just over 200 pages. I'm not sure I've fixed all the issues of draft one, but hey, it's book length, right?
And I think, for the most part, it's not too bad.
I'll send it off before the end of the week, I expect. One more read through, since you know I am the typo king, and because I'll just feel better if I read it one more time.
Currently downloading the 10-day trial of WotLK, btw. Heh heh.

I was born and raised in and around New York City, and I lived in the tri-state area for over thirty years. But I met and fell for a shiksa, and my exile began in earnest in March of 2006. Now we live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with our son and daughter.

Dude, if you're the king of typos you should own that s**t. Don't be threatened by the grammer lobby!
January 18, 2009 at 11:39 PMCongrats on finishing and sending it out! Have you sent to agents as well as editors? You should.
January 26, 2009 at 10:56 AMI don't think I can send it elsewhere in good conscience right now, since AK has been waiting for it, after giving me some notes, lo these many moons.
January 26, 2009 at 11:01 AMthanks for the congrats!
Ah, yes. That makes sense. Not to worry--he's brilliant and he's going to love it!
