It may be almost midnight on Friday night, but I have completed my word count goal for the week. So, here’s the word-o-meter,
And, ta-da! It looks fabulous! How is she getting through the novel so fast, they wonder. Well…
After consulting various experts in the field, and chattering about the relativity of writing wisdom on my LJ, I decided to once again drop the word count goal for this novel. I am assured that 60,000 words is a very respectable length for a YA, and probably more marketable than a longer book. Besides, the novel just doesn’t want to draw itself out or drag on. It wants to zoom into the finish.
Never fear, I won’t drop the word count again–if it got too much shorter, I’d have to start looking into the picture book market!
