I have 44,000 words!
I think.
The limit is preferably 80,000 but you can go up to 100,000. I reckon I have about 37,000 of second draft work. And of course none of it is worth anything until it makes the final edit - I might need to re-write everything! (well,m I won't but that is always the worry isn't it?!)
Is great seeing it in one document and getting a feeling for (gulp) how small it really is! I mean, in one chunk it becomes reduced to a series of chapters that tell a story - no more, no less. It loses some of its mystique and becomes far, far less intimidating. It just *is*.
Now, I must write the rest! Although actually I am going to procrastinate by having a cup of tea, planning what I will do tomorrow, and then it will be time to go and get my wean. I hope he is ok after being away from me for the first time in yonks! We are just going to come home and chill :0)
