@julia-r No worries there, I found it helpful too (and have now stuck it in my sticky notes for future reference 😉 )
Wow, 65 pages and only 4 chapters?? That’s amazing! How many pages do you make your chapters? Mine are generally between 5-7, but I’m noticing that most books are probably a big longer

@daeus Haha, maybe a little 😉 I’m actually not too disappointed about it (I think my brother was more disappointed than me XD)
@julia-r Well, according to Wikipedia
Classification Word count
Novel 40,000 words or over
Novella 17,500 to 39,999 words
Novelette 7,500 to 17,499 words
Short story under 7,500 wordsDoes that help? 🙂

Welp, I got an email about the Bunyan Fiction Writing contest yesterday. I didn’t win or get runner-up, but that’s okay 🙂 Still waiting about the magazine one, but the winner isn’t decided until next month, so yeah 😛 🙂

@graciegirl Some of the most interesting villains (and the most dangerous) are the ones who honestly believe what they are doing is right and they are willing to sacrifice for their convictions. A villain who is off for revenge is all very well. A villain who is fighting for something he loves will be even more dedicated. Plus it is heartbreaking…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper A novella is generally 20,000-35,000 words. Mine end up in the 30,000s, generally. 😉 You could easily get one done in a month. I wrote one in a week once… it was a bit crazy, but I got it done. And chapters depend. Mine average around 10-15.
I’ve heard it’s hard to traditionally publish a novella, but it’s pretty quick to…[Read more]

@Daeus Congratulations! *refrains from throwing anything because it is already a mess* That sounds very interesting. Being able to write a book-length book instead of an epic-length book is always nice. 😉
