| Re: Novel Word Count
Actually, I have only the sketchiest idea of how long something is going to be until I've written at least one draft.
But that's because I'm the kind of writer who doesn't stick too closely to the outline. I know that some things will expand, some things will change drastically, and new things undreamt of in my philosophy when I started out will inevitably come up.
In other words, I'm curious, too, how someone projects a certain length. |
