51,439

And I'm pretty sure that about 35, 827 of them are complete rubbish.  Oh well. It's a first draft.  And no, you cannot read it.

To quote my beloved writing professor and uber-awesome author, Doris Betts, "To allow someone to read your first draft is like spitting in your palm before you shake someone's hand."

But rest assured, at least one of you, will be tapped to read draft three or so.   (I'm thinking of a certain lady with twins who also studied under Betts--because, you know, with twin 3 yr olds, I'm sure you have LOADS of free time...)

I'd be willing to read draft three... :)
