Aaaannddd... it's done!

First draft of Thunderlord is done! That's the good news. The um, challenging news is that it's 220,000 words long. Way too long, even for DAW. I have embarked upon the excision of flabby prose, tedious subplots, and extraneous characters.

Down to 208,000 and counting....

Yay draft!

Was it longer than 1600 pages in manuscript? Apparently that's the record for DAW.

Not even close. Less than 1000 pages! I am so succinct!
