To give you an idea of why I call it gnarly, here’s the stats for this section:<\/p>\n

Version 1: 22,000 words<\/p>\n

Version 2: 35,000 words<\/p>\n

Version 3: 28,000 words<\/p>\n

Version 4: 24,000 words — & done!<\/p>\n

Obviously there’s a bit of overlap between versions, but still — I bet you’d be glad, too, to get to those final 24,000 words & be able to say ‘done.’<\/p>\n

And now, onwards to a great big ‘done’ on the entire book! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

* “Knocked off” — references Sir Edmund Hillary’s words to George Lowe (no relation, as far as I know) on first climbing Mt Everest: “Well, we knocked the bastard off!”<\/em><\/p>\n
