Hello I've finished the first rough draft of my novel and am now going through it with a weed whacker. What's a good length to get it down to? The novel exploded all the way to 200k, and I've reeled it back to 157k, so *pat pat pat.* What should I get it down to? Any novel is going to have a certain about of extraneous material, question is, how much will readers, publishers, and agents tolerate? So I'm going to shoot for shaving off another 30k words, down to 127k, which seems like a good length for a first fantasy novel. Please Help. Thanks ! I didn't find the right solution from the internet. References: https://www.sffchronicles.com/threads/570155/ 3D Medical animated video |
