Novel Writing Brainstorming Forum

That's awesome, though, that you recognized what the story needed and didn't push it or pad it to fill 50,000. Having a second project is a good idea.

I'm pretty sure this story will have the opposite problem. I can't see it ending at 50,000 words. It'll probably be somewhere in the realm of 70,000 or 80,000. ^^;

I actually managed 2,000 words last night, though! Only 8,000 to go.

That scene sounds hilarious and wonderful. When your novel is on shelves, you can release that scene as a short story just for kicks. Who says writers can't write crack fiction for their own works?
