Keep it up. It's not nearly 1000 pages. I think I'd be going ever more nuts if it was. Sounds like you’re making good progress. Keep it up.

It’s not nearly 1000 pages. I think I’d be going ever more nuts if it was.

I am 80% done with my first revision, and then will make a last minute read through to catch any biggies I missed. That picture is intimidating. It makes me think of those 1000 page L. Ron Hubbard books that used to clog the bookshelves at Waldenbooks. I can't imagine how L. Ron edited a bulk like that. Him and Stephen King must have a secret method to stay sane. Thanks.

In fact, it kind of <a href="http://www.jczorkmid.net/~jpenney/blog/archives/2005/07/27/the-first-draft/" rel="nofollow">look like one</a>. It's not too bad. Best of luck with your revisions.

My book is a YA, and only 45k words. 100k seems like a mountain to edit. Looking at your “type in” bar above makes me wish I was finished editing my novel.
