I finished cutting and pasting AfterQuest back together today. My goal was to get it under 150K, preferably in the 120K range -- I still have the last third or so to polish and the word count is 128,623!. Using the character count divided by 5 method, it's even shorter: 117,000. I tried wrapping my mind around whether that means my average words are longer or shorter than 5 letters and gave up. I probably use 'the' a lot. And Elves have long names.
Back to polishing - maybe I can cut another thousand words or so....
