Wow! I need to rewatch (I’ll take any excuse, really). I’m not surprised there were so many moments, but I’ll definitely be interested in coming across them and going, ah ha!

Thanks for sharing!!

Comment on Word count : is your Fantasy novel too long ? by bnshultz09

I find, as a reader (and a speed reader at that), I would personally prefer a longer novel: I often finish books on the same day I buy them. It’s kind of frustrating.
Also, as an aspiring writer, I am painfully aware of word counts.
I’ve been working on a particular project for nearly nine years. It’s at slightly over 120k in it’s 6th revision. I’m afraid that it’s just going to get WAY past that mark and I won’t be able to cut it down and I won’t be able to split it into more than one piece like Tokien (whom I’m a fan of) did to LoTR. I wish editors and agents were more flexible but I can see the pragmatism of the restraints. Even if I don’t like it one bit.
It’s just I’ve never been good with dealing with rules while writing.

Wahoo! Lily In The Shadows is with your beta. Well done, Em, and thank you for linking to the Dracula trailer. I’d heard about the show but hadn’t had a chance to check it out yet. Hope you have a fabulous week.

Being busy comes with the territory of living, Em. You have a lot of diverse interests and it’s a wonder that you have the energy with your work for them all, but you find a way… and you have. That’s the great part.

You’re doing great.

I am so impressed with your writing chops – well done on Lily. Having just come out of a crazy busy period myself, am feeling somewhat inspired to pick up the WIP again. You are a legend!
