You may note that I have brought the goalpost a little closer…The first draft looks like coming in a little less lengthy than I anticipated. Books one and two were pretty much the same length, a shade over 180,000 words. I suspect this one in its final version is going to be about 10,000 words shorter than 1 and 2.
I am not one of those authors who necessarily gets wordier and wordier as the series progresses. The book length has to fit the story, and this one looks like being around 170,000 or a little more.
So, one more chapter to do! I am still maintaining a steady 2,000 words a day.
Way to go Glenda, then I will have two books to wait for once you have done all the rewriting and proofing, etc. etc. of course. I am chewing my nails as far as the elbows waiting for the March publishing of Book 2. Oh, by the way, I got a Trudi Canavan from the library this week.
