80,000 AND COUNTING
ACDT has passed the 80k point and I am most pleased. Today was the most productive day I have spent on this novel, going from 74,182 words to 80,000 words.
This is a significant number for me in that it is the least amount of words a new novelist can sell for. The max is 100k. My target is 90k to allow room for expansion and editing, although it is now much less about the word count and all about finishing the story.
I am also pushing the beta delivery date to January 4th, so that I can incorporate the first pass of edits from my alpha reader. This way the beta readers will have less typoes and gross inconsistencies to deal with.
ps. Merry Christmas!
