it's a thousand pages, give or take a few

Some stats!squee on Vincenia, because I can.
38,456 words in the file for the first book. The file for the second is somewhere around 3000; I don't know where exactly.
81 pages (well, 80 and a bit); single-spaced 10-point Verdana. (For some reason, I write better in that font. ::shrug?::)
I've written ~22,000 words in this universe this year (it's my getyourwordsout project, which is how I know); it's not all things I can use in this book or one of the other two, but the noodling is just as important, as it's usually about how the secondary characters tick. (This includes figuring out the bitch queen, which I really needed to do so she's not cardboard.) It's a rough draft and it needs editing (including adding something worked out well after I was at the point it'd come up), but that's all right; I'm getting it out of my head and on virtual paper.
Yeah, I think I'm okay with this universe eating my brain.

squeeflail, maps are cheating
