| Re: Novel Word Count
I think I'll just go with Word's count because apparently here in the US, 94,000 words should be fine. But, from what I've read on this forum, if I were trying to get it published in the UK, I'd go with the 106,000. Obviously, I'm being (only slightly) facetious, since, again, a difference of "13,000" words is significant.
Re: why use the 250 method...the whole idea seems to be that word count doesn't matter as much as how many pages are going to be needed for the book. Chopper's examples demonstrate this. I have a good amount of dialogue in my novel, so my 93,000 words will take up more pages than someone else who has a 93,000-word novel that has hardly any dialogue. |
