Trust my rage

Did the drabbles die? Just curious. I never write them myself, but I always enjoyed reading them.

Maybe we should think of some topics...uh, one of the challenges I've signed up for is "What I didn't Know"...does that sound interesting?

...so, a novel should really be about 80 or 90k words, right?

Because books.

Most of them, yeah, Fay.

But children's or young adult novels can be (and often are) much shorter, maybe 50K or 60K.

I'm aiming for about 90k, so that's cool.

(Have had writer's block for ages, and so put novel on backburner again. But have recently had an 'aha!' moment, and am now writing manically.)
