Okay, I just completed the third revision of my novel, and I can say with confidence, it will be my last full revision. I am at a point where the book is not going to get markedly better. Further revisions might swap words around, but the book is what it is. I have made it pretty much as good as I can make it. There are a few chapters early on that I need to go back and work on a little bit more (chapters 2-4), but other than that, I am pretty much done. People will either like it or not like it, but they are getting the best that I have to offer, at this point.
The third revision clocked in at roughly 94,600 words. More adverbs and repetitions were cut. A few more story details were added, some extra dialogue to clarify things, a little more action during the climax, and that's about it.
Dagnab, I've spent too many hours on this dad-blamed story.
