Hol:  

And a very Merry Christmas to you too!!

At 2 million words, you have done a lot of writing!!  According to Wikipedia, 
the longest novel in the Latin alphabet is Artamena, by M&Mde Scudery in 
French, at 2.1 million words (20 volumes) (and no, I didn't even know it 
existed much less read all that!!).  The Bible only has 181000 words.

My suggestion:  serialize your writing into multiple volumes.  What a Christmas 
present that would be for all of us!!

Regards,
Paul
