I have just reached the 100,000 word milestone on the fiction I have working on for the last five years, and have nearly reached the halfway mark. Don't believe me? Here's a screencap.

Congradulations! ^_^ Five years, eh? That's a loooooong time, so no wonder! How much of the story is left?

Myself, I never pay much attention to the word count, or the page count. "Of Mice and Men" was only 100 or so pages and it was a masterpiece. And I've read some very long, very bloated books that should have been 100-200 pages shorter. XD

Must be pretty epic. Don't post any extracts, just in case. :)

My first novel is finished, and I've started on the second in the series, although I'm going to have to concentrate more on my thesis from now on.

"Lecherously" is such a wonderfully descriptive word. It even tastes like what it means. ::toothy grin::

Congratulations on the progress!
