People ask me how many pages should it be and I have no idea.
Today, we’re going to talk about why (probably) NaNoWriMo’s goal is 50,000 words.Ī lesson you learn early on when talking to publishing people is that we always talk in word count, not page number. Today: word counts! We talked a long time ago about basic word count ranges for different genres. BUT, just because I’m not doing it doesn’t mean I can’t give y’all some information that might help you do it, or help those of you who might want to write a longer thing, fiction or non-fiction, down the line. I don’t have time to write a novel this month, which should come to the great relief of my clients, to whom I own many things.
It’s day, 5 of NaNoWriMo and I have written exactly ZERO WORDS.
