ISBN-13 978-1997999331 and ISBN-10 1997999331 Editing and Provenance History The full editorial record for The George Files: The British Mirage runs to 49,702 individually captured timepoints, recorded continuously by the Process Feedback extension between the first keystroke on 9 March 2026 and the final revision on 7 August 2026. Across those five months the manuscript grew into 22,374 words, 2,780 sentences, and 125,806 characters, all attributed to a single contributor working alone on the document. The active editing time totalled ten hours and forty-five minutes at a sustained thirty-five words per minute, split across 45,025 recorded insertions and only 5,517 deletions. That eight-to-one ratio of writing to unwriting is unusual for long-form fiction and suggests a manuscript composed forward with steady intent, rather than one wrestled into shape through heavy revision. The frequency data traces the emotional geography of the novel with the same directness. George appears two hundred and fourteen times, Ethan a hundred and twenty, and the two other named men in George's orbit, James and Charlie, appear fifty-four and forty times respectively, a distribution that maps neatly onto the shifting centre of the narrative through Act IV. The setting and motif words, chief among them rowing, York, coffee, and British, cluster in the mid-thirties, marking out the physical world of the book without ever dominating the voice. Seventy-five paste events are logged across the drafting window, the majority representing the author's own scene outlines and structural notes dropped into the document to write against, a working method that leaves a legible trail of intention rather than of borrowing.
