Hmmm. My first drafts are usually around 60K. After I've polished as much as i can, I send to beta readers, then I revise the things that resonate. However long it takes. I finished this last revision in one week. But it was like the 20th time I've revised this particular novel and there were only small tweaks to make. ^_^ Does that help?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769602845843608247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223068889792863979.post-1788540744275088262011-10-19T19:22:43.824-05:002011-10-19T19:22:43.824-05:00@Angelina How long does it usually take you to rev...@Angelina How long does it usually take you to revision a draft? And how do you know how much more you need to write? I never do know, unless it's NaNo, then it's really just that many words until I reach my goal.<br /><br />@Jeigh I can't either. First I have to get another video editor or figure out how to convert videos. -sticks out tongue- So you're a one project at a time type of person?<br /><br />@Trisha I didn't add Chrysalis because I was mostly focusing on month-by-month goals and my WIPS. You are I are going to be super busy for the rest of our lives.<br /><br />@Sarah Why thank you. ^^ I do fear that my longer projects aren't quite as good.<br /><br />@Michael XD I wish I had time to watch that much TV.Brooke R.
