2/3 of the way through the initial rewrite of my novel about a mystical seahorse and his sensual journeys throughout time, and, yes, some things have had to change. Whole paragraphs have been scrapped and totally rewritten. Dialogue has been tweaked. Details have been added. Adverbs have been amputated.
Nevertheless, the bloating continues unabated. The book is now 91,059 words long. People, as you already realize, that makes our paperback 364 pages long. Can any human being read that many pages?
