Writing about word counts

Posted on October 23rd, 2007 by Natasha

With a novel draft to finish and all this talk of NaNoWriMo, I’ve been thinking a lot about word counts this week.
 
Cover of ShantaramEarlier in the year, I read Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.  I don’t normally read such long books.  I don’t think I could ever write such a long book.  But I couldn’t help but be impressed by this 900 plus page epic and it’s my inspiration for this week’s writing about writing topic.

Writing about writing, Week #5

What’s the longest piece you’ve written?  How much time did you spend on it?  Would you want to write something longer in the future?
