When I wrote my first two novels I had no idea about pages/word count. I just wrote the story I needed to tell. Because of that I was able to convey the emotions and tell the story thoroughly. Now, that I know more about what goes into making a book publish ready, my eyes constantly go to the page number. I feel like I am in a crunch to complete the story in a a certain amount of pages. smh.... I have to get out of my own head and just allow the story to play out in order to not stifle the the story line and the reality around my characters. Dont let page count and word count over rule the integrity of your work as a whole. JUST WRITE THE STORY! This is some advice I needed for myself and decided to share. Anyway, I'm out for now, I have a story to tell..
Lots of Love LiteraryLiz......<3
