His publisher trimmed The Stand rather radically for its first printing.<br /><br />Write the book you want to write, the way you want to write it. Worry about the edits later.

(All of my non-fiction was contracted to be NO MORE THAN 50,000 words.) My rhyming novel came to 54,000 words, but my regular novels are built on a 100,000 word minimum. (My record is 261,600 words- my sci-fi epic.) I usually construct them as twenty chapter books with a minimum of 5,000 words per chapter.<br /><br />Hope that helps.Uncle Chippienoreply@blogger.com
