Pardon me while I boggle for a while at 83,000 words for a Part One. I'm still stuck on 32,000 and change, and wondering if I'll even make it to 50,000 for my whole novel.

Yeahhhhh, I don't know if it's a good thing? One of my biggest problems/weaknesses in long prose is that I tend to describe everything, instead of being comfortable just saying, like, "they had an argument and she ended with this, and they didn't talk for three weeks." That kind of thing. I'm sure when I edit I'll cut a lot of stuff out, or condense it down.
