I have survived the editing phase. (Well, the 1st and 2nd rounds of edits. Now the novel is being shipped out to beta readers to help me flesh out the story. I've had to suffer with writing it, not until it is time to terrorize the minds and eyes of my beta readers.
SUFFER at the hands of my shitty writing.
The word count is currently 195,000 words.
And I hope to never write anything this long again. But with that being said, that number is likely to go up or down depending on the next round of edits based on feedback.
Wooo! --- Have I mentioned that I haven't even named this novel yet. Or that my cover artist is currently making the cover for it.
WOO-HOO al abroad, the writers train for depression and eyesores.
