La Vie Boheme

Halfway home

After doing some math (and after a seriously productive day--holy 3400 words, Batman!), I realized that here, at the 41K mark, I'm almost halfway finished. I'm guessing the final first draft will wind up somewhere between 90,000 and 100,000 words. 100,000 words!

That sounds so enormous. I've been trying and trying to find out how many words per page your average paperback novel is (short of ransacking my bookshelf and counting), just out of curiosity. You know, trying to imagine how thick this thing will be once it gets published. ;)

Yes, it's true. I'm having an optimistic day as far as writing goes. After the day I had, who wouldn't?!
