I think it also has a little bit to do with genres. Contemporaries don't have to be quite so long as say a fantasy because there's no need for world building. Lena, what genre is this again? I apologize if I've already asked this before XD

Right, okay, never thought of that. :)
Yeah, it took me quite a long time to get through the first draft. Now that I'm rewriting it's going a bit quicker.
@Nicki--it's fantasy

I thought so, so no worries Rosalyn, in normal circumstances that would make it longer than yours ;P
And great word count. I know what you mean first drafts are killers.

Haha! ;) I just feel impressed with people who can write that much!

You should feel pity, too ;P I'm just kidding (no I'm actually not) writing a 100,000 novel versus a 50,000 word novel is MUCH harder. At least in my opinion. It was tough keeping my short story under 20,000 words, but it was also marginally easier to write (and it also went a lot faster XD). I'm always impressed by people who can just pop out books easily because it takes me close to forever to write a story ;P

Yeahhh I'd say it's harder! That's a nightmare for me! :D :D

Lol, you guys have been such good supporters, but don't feel like you need to say anything. I know you're lurking there, watching my progress, lol ;)

Ugh, nasty issues :/ Yup, been there, done that (and will probably be there to do that a hundred more times) best of luck!

Oh bother!!!
I actually got a decent amount done yesterday, but it was mostly moving stuff around, so no word count to show for it
