Why Are You Guys Obsessed with My Book?
I'm at 172 pages right now. The battery in my Mac is threatening to overheat. (What do I do if that happens? Add water?)

It's looking like the first draft will weigh in at close to 200 pages. Hard to predict how long the finished product will be. I figure shorter is always better; it isn't like I can't buff out the areas that need it. I could see it going to 250 pages, but who knows? Certainly no longer than 300. It's just a little mystery.
The idea is that I "park" the manuscript during November. I can still do research, but I can't mess with the text; I need to see it with fresh eyes.

"Park" is, of course, my husband's term for what I do with the manuscript during the time I'm not looking at it.
He's being very supportive—mostly because he hopes this thing will sell a lot of copies, and he'll be able to forget the entertainment industry and concentrate on his running.

If you need to pad it hide a James Joyce novel inside. That's what he did with Ulysses. It was hidden for decades until someone finally read the whole thing.
