![]() ![]() ![]() This is erotic romance, after all, so as my friends and I like to joke, there's the climax and the "climax". But at the same time, it's making me focus on what's important. I know I really should turn off the word count display, write the damn story, and then edit it down later. I'm quickly approaching that limit, though, and it's affecting certain choices I need to make. I can read between the lines and know that the story has a better chance of being accepted if I keep it under 6K, which I don't think I'll have a problem doing. The "preferred" word count is 3K - 6K words, but according to the guidelines, 2K - 7K is acceptable, if necessary. What I don't have as much wiggle room with is the word count. I have plenty of wiggle room with the deadline, but I like to get things in early. ![]() Then comes proofing/editing, and I'll see which of my friends I can sweet talk into looking it over for me. I think I'll definitely be able to get the first draft done by the end of the weekend. The end is in sight for the current short story (which does have a title now, and no, it's not what I previously posted). ![]()
