the GIANT : 95k

95k

Closing in on 95,000 words now. I’m writing this as a rich text file, and don’t have a word counter in the program, but I’ve estimaged that for 1 kb = 172 words. Or something close to it.

Originally I figured on 100,000 words for the book, with no real base of knowledge or anything. It just seemed like a good number. Now, though, I think the GIANT is heading towards 120,000 words. I’m just about done with the ending, but still need to do some more work on the frontside.

This all means that there is going to be a massive amount of editing going on. THEN, I have to check 100,000+ words for goofs and typos? Wow, that’s a lot of work. It does seem much easier just to not finish the thing doesn’t it?
