Drafted for the second time

[jere7my]

Second draft is done-de-done-done. 146,568 words. 3,999 paragraphs. 524 pages. (It grew by 7% in revisions. This is better than the 10% it was growing by at the midpoint.)

Now I take a few days off, seek myself on a bike trip, maybe try to cleanse my palate with a short story. Then I dive back in, with the aid of my lovely wife, aiming to be done draft #3 by Hallowe'en.

Congratulations! I hope you'll have fun and just the right amount of adventure with the bike trip and the short story before immersing yourself in draft #3. Were you tempted to add another paragraph to make it an even 4,000?
