For those keeping track, I'm at 44,364 words, plus the 208 word author's note (that's 241 pages btw).
Keyed in changes today while watching Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
A few paragraphs were rearranged for flow, a few words trimmed, but mostly it was about smoothing out transitions. I'd tightened so much with this last revision that some of the scene and focus changes had seemed jarring.
I imagine mythical reader curled up under the blankets reading this story, sinking in. I don't want him/her to put it down. And on occasion, I do want to jar him/her. But on purpose, not because I can't polish my prose.
I am really wired on iced tea right now.
