According to some parts of the internet, the average book is around 64,000 words long. If that is the case, then today I passed that benchmark.
Even if it is not the correct average, I have worked so long under the presumption that it is that whenever I reach it in a manuscript, I feel a certain legitimacy.
As in, this manuscript is no longer a mere possibility or a hobby or a potential failure. Rather, it is a reality, something to be taken seriously, something that must be finished and will be read.
Fellow authors: while writing a book-length manuscript, when do you feel a similar sense of legitimacy about the project?
