Does anyone know about how many pages this would become in a standard hardpack or paperback novel? The settings I used on my WordPerfect 10 (which doesn't have Word Count, so I had to use trial Microsoft Office software!) gave me a total page count of 595. I realize this is subject to change once the manuscript is formatted for publication (and when I'm asked to go back and correct a few things, since I'm sure that despite my best efforts, I'm sure there are things that still need slight tightening, etc)

I hope this novel is not too intimidatingly large o__O
