Nine documents. 57,745 words, not counting comments. This is the length of the outline for the book I’m writing for next year.
The actual book itself, I reckon, may clock in only around 90,000.
The good news is, hopefully, (a) I’ve used up all of the bad words I have to say on the subject, and (b) I’ve written so much around the story that doesn’t need to go in the story that the actual exposition should be somewhat more self-assured.
Or I’ll just end up writing a helpless 600,000 word runaway train.
