Hi Mary,

I use a Mac. What tool are you referring to for doing a word count? I'm guessing you don't mean the built in Word one!

At this point I wouldn't dream of sending in a manuscript directly, so it's the agent for route me (hopefully). I'm even seriously considering using a publicist, but that's a way off just at the moment.

Interesting you mention chapter length you work to. Mine are currently running at around 5,000, which for me actually feel too long. Nothing a redraft can't sort out though and tighten up. All a personal matter of taste of course.
