I hit 50,000 words today, about halfway through the novel. Whee!
Wow you are really booking along. If this is half way, might be a bit longer than you expected?
I’m shooting for at least 100,000 words in the final draft, given that this is speculative fiction. I figure 105,000 is the sweet spot for the first draft; that way, I can prune whatever doesn’t work and add anything that should be included.
Sounds like a good plan
