OH MY GOD, Prime was not meant to be a novel. A novella, yes, but not a novel. My plot petered out at about 37,000 words or so, and ever since I’ve been pretty much connecting scenes and writing filler dialogue to see what comes of it. I’ve gotten some good stuff that might replace old stuff, but putting all this crap in detracts from the story, I think. But what the hell, I love writing this story.
