It has a total word count of 188,655 words. It's the longest thing I have ever written, and the first piece of original fiction that I'm really proud of. I failed during NaNo 2006, so this is my first completed novel. In a few months, I hope to be able to edit it (yes, I will be cutting out a lot) so that I can try sending it out to publishers. 19 Jul 2008 17:09:32 September Zing Thing -> 0/2,000 Illuminated Words - My writing blog
