My current draft = 451 words.
Stick or twist?
Excellent news. I'm currently 'half way' through writing three novels at around 30,000 words each.
So now I've decided I'm 'four-fifths' of the way through instead
It's easier that way.
I hope to be finished by tea-time.
my 'book' is currently wallowing around the 10000 word mark. Am I halfway??
jesus' son is brilliant, especially if you are feeling too cheerful and/or optimistic.
chris killen's flatemate, the choice is yours...
eeeee eee eeee by tao lin - 28,577 words
'next novel' by tao lin - so far 53,000 words (projected final word count: around 40,000 words)
