The I'm Writing Thread.... Celebrate your pages written etc
Darwinist:
How can 168 pages only be 33.7k words. It just seems unfair. It should be so much higher dammit.
Anyway, third revision is done save for the final two chapters which I refuse to write until I get a working draft I like. At that size, is this still considered a novel or would it be a novella? So much time sunk into this story and it just feels so short...

Manuscript pages? My WiP is 50.8k, and it's 102 manuscript pages. 131 paperback pages, according to Scrivener. Can depend on a lot of stuff, like font size and white space and all that.
I've smashed my weekly word count goal. I try for 2500 a week-500 a day-and so far this week, I'm at 3400. Always nice when I hit a scene or two where I know what needs to happen, the words come so well.
cenwolfgirl:
well done both of you
i am almost at a point where i shall have free time to write once more :)
Darwinist:
I'll give it another pass, possibly adding in another subplot I've been sitting on for a potential sequel. I dunno, what's really the target for novels these days? I wanna say I heard it was 80k once. I know Nanowrimo aims for 50k and that's only supposed to be a stop gap to something larger.
cenwolfgirl:
that is rely very amazing
well done ;D
