What a title. I am such a genius (note: sarcasm) XD
So, I was just wondering: how many words are in my novel so far? Of course, this is a first draft and there's A LOT to cut down as well as a bunch to add on. I haven't checked since November, at which point I had about 10,000 words (I was keeping track of that month for NanoWrimo, look it up). A novel is AT LEAST 50,000 words at a general look. In my notebooks I fit roughly 300 words on a page. My novel is currently 237 pages long (I think... give or take a page) of notebook paper. 300 x 237? 71,100.
And I am not quite sure how much longer the rough draft will be, but at a guess it will exceed the 100,000 word mark by just a bit. That's REALLY LONG. I read that over 110,000 words is too many. But it won't be an issue since in further drafts I'll be cutting away a bunch of stuff anyway. :)
