*points at status bar* By the power of drudgery, I have half-assed my way to 100% of Revision Round 2! *listless confetti* This number is meaningless, but in the interest of trivia, the final word count of this draft is 182,214. Up more than 8K from the previous draft, but at least half of that […]
I’ve been battling a powerful urge to begin the next revision round now. Oddly enough, the portion of the book that has already been revised twice is in better shape than the remaining portion that has so far been revised only once!
