It has been interesting to read my own novel for the first time. As I was writing the first draft, I did not go back and read what I had written. I wanted it to be as fresh as possible for the rewrite. So far, it is not horrible. In fact, it might be kind of not all that bad and maybe even sort of good, but let's not fix on a set of adjectives until I've read the whole thing.
In the process of rewriting, I have had to add more scenes and lines of dialogue to fill in plot holes and flesh out characters. This has bumped up the word count to 89,600, aka 359 pages.
There you go. Plow on, American Mule. Plow on!
