I'm Glad Thats Somewhat Over...

Mar 06, 2006 14:32

The first readable version of “Charnel House” is ready to be sent out to my brave advanced readers. I didn't even have to bribe them or anything and they still agreed. Fools. Anyways, at 54,573 words it isn't so much a novel as it is a glorified novella. Oddly though, I'm OK with that ( Read more... )

video games, books, writing

If you want to read give me a couple of weeks to iron out the kinks. Unless my advanced readers really hate it... then it'll take longer to redo. ;)

Mike has a good point though about the page count...From a readers prospective we look more at how many pages the book is rather then the words.

BTW, Mike gets first crack at the printed copy. I'll have it ready for you at Steve's next Drow game.

You can very safely presume that 300-350 words per page is what you see in 95% of books on the shelf... so if you hit 70,000, it'd be 200-240 or so pages in a "real book."

Some restrictions apply, your mileage may vary, offer void in scenic Malazan, etc.
