Novels Never End, They Just Run out of Paper.

So I am doing the initial rewrite of the manuscript. I have, of course, been paring down the prose, trying to remove unnecessary adverbs and such. However, I have also added a few scenes along the way. I am now on chapter six, and I have already bumped the word count up to 89,100 words (not counting the contact information and byline on the first page). That puts us at page 357 in our truck stop worthy paperback edition.
