Hm. Well, it's the final copy as far as I can tell. If either of my readers or my agent tells me it needs more work, then obviously it's not going to be a final copy in just two drafts. :-)
However, the answer kind of lies in advice that Scott Meredith gave in Writing to Sell, advice that Barry Malzberg followed and recommends himself. He basically suggests trying to make your first draft as close to your final draft as possible. In essence, that's what I was aiming to do.
