My novel's going to be at least 80k before it's done. Have written 1400 words tonight, so if I can get another thousand or so in, I'll be golden.

Fortunately I think the stuff I've written tonight will be keep-able. It actually has some action in amongst the intermidable conversations.

Good--that's about the minimum you'll need if you want to publish it as a novel. 100-120k would be ideal.

LOL!--excellent :) BTW that "prequel" action scene you wrote to insert before Chapter 1 was really good. If you can include a number of action scenes like that you'll be doing well.
