Finished the first draft at 27.5K....a messy FD even for me. An extra draft will be needed before I let anyone read this. I'm still thinking it could be stretched to 90K if I wanted. It's at 27.5, and I haven't even worked in setting or description....oh dear...

Go, you!

Thanks...ish...

I'm in the air over this, because 30K is hard to market, but 90K is more work.....we'll see.

A lot more work, but probably worth it in the end.

Are you sure it's not 90K? 30K is really hard-as-nails to market to anyone--at least with 90K you'd have a novel...

Yay on first draft, though.

I seem to hear a repeating theme here....

I may, indeed go for 90....it's not a terribly complicated plot, but I know that publishers don't always want a complicated plot...so it might work for me....
