Yep, always fun. :) Some books are bigger than others. My first serious book was 399k. This was before I understood editing, revision, or not going on tangents. I've gotten it down to 121k. That was an experience.

Holy cow. My first completed manuscript was north of 200k. Pretty awful manuscript, all around, and I hadn't given thought to the length at all. It included every barely coherent rambling passage that occurred to me. I can't imagine writing 399k in a single project, but huge kudos to you for getting it back down to 120k. That's a feat, and it must have taken some time.

The 399k manuscript was awful, too. Practically fanfiction, really. Thanks for the kudos. It took about 10 years, roughly. I didn't work on it continuously, though. I took breaks to work on other novels in between.

Everything except writing and writing-related stuff went badly this week, so at least I had that.

Greetings, AuraHeyworth. Nice to see you here.
