Is there a gerneral word count bracket YA novels should run between? I was just reading this morning on an author's blog that her work was about 82k words...and my novel is currently sitting on 103k and I anticipate it to be around 120k give or take when its done.
So question...is this way too much? Or is word count specific to publishing houses/agents/etc?
I can cut things out if worse comes to worse and I most likely will when I edit it after I complete this first draft, but I was just wondering...as I kind of start writing and don't stop!
Thanks!
