The next edit

The novel has got to 60,000 words or thereabouts. So its still pretty short. I'm not sure if the bothers me or not - Something tells me 100k would be somehow better, but it can't be right to force another 40,000 word in there can it? I mean, surely anything I add is going to read like I just added words - slowing everything down.

But that's currently a problem for another day anyway. I've just finished an edit - the forth? I've lost count a bit. I'm pretty happy with it now for the most part, except for bit slab of exposition in the middle that needs to shape up or ship out.

So now I need another way to see the work in a different light, so it's going to get its first printing, in double spaced 12 font, so that it can be scribbled on when I'm on the train.
