Talion,
Persevere. Before you know it you'll have tens of thousands of words and be facing the less desirable tasks of cutting, polishing, and revising. Thanks for the comment.

LizzyMorrow,
Glad you liked it. Praise from one who has already finished a novel is high praise indeed. Not only do you know of what I speak, you've already managed the task! We'll have to compare notes.

Two hundred thousand words? I've completed about ten of my novel and it's killing me.

I didn't realize it had changed
but now that I read your blog, I guess the lengths of novels has gotten bigger. Mine runs a little over 80,000. When I wrote my first novel, I remember thinking getting to 80,000 was a huge thing. Good post!
