All edits have been applied. There will be a run through before sending off to the printer's for a proof. There were some scenes added that have to be looked at. Come early April, I will begin dropping plot details, main character names. I'll speak about the setting first, the African city and region the book takes place in.
The final page count comes in at 569 pgs. That's just the story, not the intro or after pages. So, I went 119 pgs over budget. Not too bad. I'm glad it wasn't another 150 pgs. Don't care, really. I listened to my fiancee and just told the story.
Thanks for the advice, baby.
