hello, I'm done. The written manuscript of The Sword Dance is now complete. I feel like it ought to be on vellum or something, but no, it's in a Staples Composition Book with a blue cardboard cover.

I don't know what the final word count is (or, indeed, if anyone cares). Suffice it to say that by the time I've finished typing it up, it will be well over 500 pages.

And I've already cut 40 pages from the beginning.

Ezra Pound, where are you when I need you! Come back, all is forgiven.

500 pages! I hope it's double-spaced ;)

Congratulations. It's a great feeling to finish a book.

yes, double spaced *phew*

my son suggested reducing the font size (he is 8 and is obsessed with fonts). My daughter, who is 11, suggested that the book be marketed with a magnifying glass.

*is curious*

what brought you here on this occasion, anyway? (I am an American in Scotland)

I was just drifting :) Sometimes I look at friends' friends pages just to see what's going on about the place. I hope you don't mind my commenting.

not at all!
