Yup, I sure do ;P That's a good goal! When I first finished A Week of Werewolves it was about 60k long. Then I rewrote it and now it's 115k and idk where those extra words came from. That's great that you're so close to being done! I still have a ton left to write in A Winter Dark and Deadly (probably about 2/3) and it's kinda intimidating to be honest XD
I don't understand how you do that either.... I'm hoping the editing doesn't take me months... but I'm preparing for the worst. xD Oh I completely understand... when your not even close to the end of the ROUGH DRAFT and you still have editing left it is quite intimidating.
I'm pretty sure that someone smuggles words into my books. A Certain Sort of Madness was originally 90k words and now it's 120k like WHAT???Not just editing.. I HAVE TO REWRITE THE ENTIRE FIRST PART! *sobs*
I think your probably right..... I don't understand that!! XDWHAT!!? Why? This is crazy.... sometimes I just plain don't understand you Nicki..... xD What did you do this time!?

Great work, Hannah! You've made it to 45k words. That's amazing! :D
Seriously..... xD I will soon arrive at 50k and I'm coming to a close!! *celebrates*
Yay! I'm trying to reach 100k in a Winter Dark and Deadly, but I'm definitely nowhere close to ending it. Which isn't very encouraging let me tell you :/
Oh that's exciting.... but I do understand knowing how far away you are from finishing a book.... xD!

Yusss, great word count! Though tbh it probably won't remain like that. My word count normally goes up at least 20k words. ACSoM was 90k when I wrote it then it ended up being 120k when I was done with the edits. Oopsies. But let's not think of the editing now BECAUSE YOU FINISHED IT!!!
I know... which I like that I will have grown!! That means my book gets lager, and who can complain about that!? ( Yes... let's not think of the revising I have to do... *gulp* ) YESSSSS!!! I FINISHED IT..... THAT MEANS ITS DONEEEE!!!

Actually, I could complain about that because Of Gold and Iron can only be 120k words long. (don't think about it! Refrain!) THAT IT DOOOOEEEESSSS!!!!!
Oh.... you entering it in a contest or something? ( I'm trying... *squeezes eyes shut* EEEEEKKKK!!

Ahhh okay. xD ( *stops thinking about it* .... *begins to think about it* I have to edit today... so yeah. huff.... ) THIS IS SO EXCITING!! *grins*

Yes... it's very discouraging. L.O.L. Thanks for the encouragement! ;) As long as I can see that a chapter gets edited a day than I've done good. If more than one chapter gets edited than hey I'm doing amazing. ( xD .... ) >.< I hope to send it into a publishing company when I'm done!
I know you can do it, Hannah! Sometimes, you just gotta kill your darlings, your writing will be better for it even if it hurts ;P
Seriously... the pain is intense. 0.o But im doing better and i seem to have gotten into a routine of sorts... *weak laugh*
