      You had to ask the awkward question, didn’t you? ?

      Okay, the quick answer is around 44K (total of 141K).

      The long answer is I need 44K new words, but when I edit the word count is going to plummet to around 115K. I changed some things in the story and had to add more than a few scenes, and as I don’t edit as I go, I’ve kept the old stuff that’s getting chopped until the edit.

        Hopefully by the end of the year to have a finished manuscript all things going well?

        It looks like I’ll be finished with the draft mid-July. The edits should be done by the start of October ? Planning on a November release at the latest. Who knows, it could be sooner ?
