all undone done

Final wordcount of second revision: 132k. The epilogue went practically untouched. Oi.

Next up: print the second half (which was the most heavily revised -- first half went all but untouched), mark the hell out of it, and let my first readers finally get a peek. And probably revisit that Valdemar story. Because I should.

I thought I could paste linked Word objects into Excel to automate my wordcount woes, but of course I can't. Why? Because Word sucks. Oh well. I found a program that can do it for me, which is nice, but I don't know if it's $25 nice (it would be if it also automagically did page counts).

I'll have eleven days at home with the family in Cali to revise the book, and I plan to do just that. To say nothing of the massive Texas-sized scarf I have to finish.

But for now, I desire...macaroni sculptures! Er, I mean -- food!

Actually, fajitas sound really good right now...too bad I live in Missouri.
