You are welcome, my friend, to look at either of my manuscripts if you so choose. One claims it's 55000 words, the other nearing 90200--but in the latter's case, more like 83000 if you subtract a lot of fluff and "deleted scenes" added for the purpose of assisting a word war, some of which is interesting in itself or belongs elsewhere.

You're also welcome not to look at the first at all but just the second, which is organized in neat chapters and something resembling chronological sense, whereas at least one reader has said the first manuscript confused them in its jumping-aboutness.

I had such feelings about this "e-mails scandal", which fell out of the news really fast here, but wasn't sure enough to make a statement. Good to know my feelings are properly calibrated some of the time!
