Girl Writers and Readers discussion

How far are you into your story or novel that you are writing?

I am almost ten thousand words in! And around twenty pages!

I don't know haha I finished one chapter and about halfway into the second chapter... I love to write I'm just a big perfectionist and I keep telling myself I can go back and edit later but it's so hard! xD

I know! Well, good job! That is really good! When did you start writing?

I have written a couple books. I think they suck though so I'm re-writing the first novel in the series. I'm about 20,000 words in.

6 pages for 3 of them I think.

Good job!

Thanks.

12,507 words in!!!! I am so excited!

16,000 words about.

Good job!

Thanks

:)

On one, I'm about 5,00 words in. The other, I'm only like two pages in...

im trying to recover the book my friend lost I think she threw it away but I was so close to getting it published :(

I hope you can recover it!!!!!!! That is so sad. :(

I know :(

Yup! I will pray for you!

thanks :)

I am five pages in so not very far! (2402 words) :D
And, I have a question. My chapters are really short: only like one or two pages. Do you guys think that is ok? sorry for the weird question!

I think that's fine. In some books I've read, like Holes and We Were Liars, some chapters were only 1/2 pages long.

Agreed

Thanks!

:P

I am 6304 words into my book and fourteen pages!

Awesome job!!

wow!

:)

I finished a book yesterday. Don't know the word count, but it's 29 chapters, all around 2500 words per chapter.
Just thought I should mention this here because I thought it might encourage people to finish stories more often. One finished story will teach you so much more than a thousand unfinished ones! :)

Thanks for sharing that! And good job!

YAY!!!! Congratulations!! Ya gonna publish it?

I was just about to ask that!!

Wow! Great job!

:)

I'm 77,312 words written into my novel (316 pages). I have 74 pages to go.

Hey everyone!
I am so angry with my English assignment right now. We are doing that stupid, useless exam where you have to write a short story under exam conditions. Basically I get a stimulus on Monday, write a story during the week, and copy it onto exam paper on Friday in 70 minutes. HOW USELESS IS THAT?! So I'm writing a story, in a single week, and then MEMORISING it to try and replicate in an exam! Please tell me I'm not the only one out there who thinks this is silly. :/

No, it was really bad! xD
I've been slacking with my writing so that story was just a way to get myself back on track and practice.
Thanks for all the positivity! This group is really nice. :o

If they're giving you writing guidelines for a form of *creative writing* they're already doing something wrong. That sucks how weird the education system is... Especially for the arts (English, tech design, visual arts and all that).
