Pretty much We're happy to chat anything else novel-related, too. The Novel Challenge check-in thread is here: http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7613855.Thanks, Izz! What do I do? Just check in everyday and post my word count for the day?
No laughter from me! That's quite an admirable goal. I think if the inspiration is there, and you have the time to pound out those words, it's very possible to achieve. Just think of it as 6 extended NaNos
The major problem: too many words! I basically have to make a lot of hard decisions coming up on which subplots to cut, or how to turn this into a series. I think I might just have too much going on for one book. BUT if all goes well, I hope to have it in query shape by December 1.
Is there a particular publisher you're aiming this at and what genre is it? It isn't uncommon for fantasy novels to be this long, and many are even longer.
