Done with the introduction. Wow.

With that, I'm done with the "body" of my book. At least the first draft. I still have an appendix to write, a lot of cleanup, and reviews to go through. I'm working on a deal to hire out some of the scrubbing of the book into a final form, but having the body content done is a massive accomplishment (for me).

Right now the book weighs in at 284 pages with out the appendix. My guess is that once I finish reviews i'll tip just north of 300, which was my goal. Originally I started out with a 600 page goal, but after talking with people I realized that not even I would want to read a book that long about Avalon! :-)

I'm going to get lunch, and run by Kinko's to print 3 copies of my first draft of the entire book. I'm pretty excited to see the entire thing on paper. My last draft that I printed the entire thing was on July 6, which was in a different format and had less than half the content I have now.

When I get back from lunch I'll start digging into the appendix.
