100,000

January 19th, 2010 at 12:05 am by --KALEB NATION--

I would like to take this moment to celebrate a momentous occasion in the writing of Bran Hambric: The Specter Key.

Though before the night is done, I’ll probably pass 102,000 at least. I think I shall finish it all this week.

Any of you writing books or stories right now? What’s your word count? :D

    I have 91,984 words on my first novel. That's 20 chapters plus Prologue. I'm working on my second book, but i only have 2 chapters done. :)

    Congratz Kaleb! I only started writing a few (twilight) fanfictions and don't have so much jet they are only less then 10 000 words so far ( I'm writing 3 different fanfictions.. )

    Congratulations! That's a huge milestone. I'll speak for all of us and say--we can't wait to read! =)

    I'm not entirely sure where my main novel is right now. I have about four drafts of it, and none of them are even close to being finished... I need to stop discovering major plot points that call for a complete rewrite! All the drafts together are probably somewhere around 200,000 words.
    But the (finished) novel I wrote with a friend is 101,993 words. It's a great feeling when you reach that number... like you actually might be doing something right after days and days of typing. Finally, there's something tangible.

    Best of luck!

    Congrats Kaleb! I'm writing a story, actually two. The first I just reached 50,000 words, and the second is just getting started (thought of it last night) =D Congrats again Kaleb.
  • Kaleb, that is made of awesome.
  • Jessica

    My novel was 108k when I first wrote it and I'm cutting stuff now when I'm editing. Just passed the 100k mark in reverse a few days ago. I may even get it down to 90k.

    My Wordcount is at 60k. I'm aiming for 100k-110k. Shouldn't be too much longer on it though, I can feel a writing explosion approaching. This is my 5th book, as well, so I all up I've written 520,000 words since I began writing seriously.
  • My word count is somewhere closer to 50k. Because I did that NaNoWriMo thing. I don't think I've worked on it since. Also, it was actually supposed to be two books, but I ran out of ideas for the first one and didn't have time to go back and try to edit in more stuff, because that requires reading. And reading does not write 50k.
  • Woot!! Congrats, that is a milestone indeed! :D

    I believe my first book was somewhere between 85,000 to 90,000. My second was 151,802. I'll let you know the wc for Book 3 when I'm done ;)
  • Samzen
    My story is only 20141 words, but I still got a long way to go :)
  • twilight1212121

  • I wish your book was available in the Philippines! I would love to give it a read!
  • MelyssaTwilight
    I know this one person on fanfiction, her story is over 700000 words long! It's crazy, but her story is AMAZING.
  • Kait
    Way to be Kaleb! That's awesome news! =]
  • janiscullen
    WOW!!! Congrats Kaleb!!! :D
  • I am writing my first book & only have 43,000 something words. And I only have 5 chapters left to write. I may need to fluff some parts.
  • At first I thought that said pants.
  • Sydney
