Seventeen days!  Hard to believe it&#8217;s only been that long.  I hope the quality of this work went up in that time.

Going by the wordcount of the previous draft, 51.98% of the text changed.<\/p>\n<p>Now I need to start submitting this book.  It&#8217;s going to be kind of hard&#8211;I&#8217;m not sure whether it&#8217;s YA or not.  On the one hand, the main characters are older teenagers and experience a lot of personal growth over the course of the novel.  On the other hand, the (pseudo)science is a little dense, and the prose isn&#8217;t&#8230;well, it doesn&#8217;t read like most of the YA that I&#8217;ve read.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I guess the only thing to do is shop it around and see who picks it up.  In the meantime, I&#8217;m going to put everything I have into finishing <em>Bringing Stella Home<\/em>.
