48000 / 65000

Rethinking my deadline panic: I was working on Death Squad for a LONG time, but I didn't get a first draft finished until May '07. That was a bad, messy, unfixable-seeming draft. But the draft I had by November was essentially the one I sent out on submission, and that's with working full-time. So six months is a perfectly reasonable time frame for revisions (if I can just get to the end of my first draft pretty soon...)
