Procrastination or Good Planning?
by Marybeth on Nov.30, 2009, under My Blog
I am up to about 52,000 words now. I am amazed that my other novel is over 80K. That seems insane. I’m ok with sticking nearer to the 60K mark. Though that is easier to do with a YA novel.
At this point I am having troubles ending my story. I feel like I need to edit more before I can end it. Not for the typical reasons, but instead because I want to make sure I end it properly. Have you ever had that happen? Or do you think I’m just procrastinating?
Regardless I am still in love with this story. Now if I can just find a way to end it and come up with a pitch I’ll be in good shape. Good shape to edit that is!
