That's not including all the related reference material I will no doubt have to include in the related book, of course, as well, you know, though.

I'm shooting for a maximum of about 400 pages of story content, and a maximum of about 25 or so pages of reference material, whether that material includes maps or not, in truth. At least for the first draft of this story, anyway, that is, and cut it down more and more as later drafts allow and all, if and whenever possible and appropriate and all, for sure.

I'd like to be able to have no more than about 350 to 275 pages, however, when I've finished the final draft of this story, Lord willing and all. But at this point, I really don't know how long this story will ultimately be, once I reach that point with it, if I ever do, to be sure, folks. Just so you know.

Talk more later, as time permits and all, Lord willing and all, I'm sure. Thank you all for your time and attention and all here, as always, of course. CD out.
Your book sounds like the premise of the great 5th symphony of Gustav Mahler:

Quote:
Mahler embraces an entire world through the exhilarating emotional arc of the Fifth Symphony, progressing from darkness to light and through love, loss, life, and death.
If you've never listened to it, I would highly suggest it.
