Glare Report: 11/21/04: Lake Nokomis scene

New words: 370
Total words: 12561 MS Word
Pages manuscript: 51
Reason for stopping: I gotta get to bed, really.
Notes: With a little experimentation, I have determined that blood will stick to the surface and spread when dripped onto a marshmallow. However, the blood will wash off if you dunk it in water. Therefore, Jack will cut the marshmallow in two, drip the blood on the cut part inside, and then jam it back together before threading it onto the fish hook.
Mood: Blah. This may be more a result of the fact that I didn't get as much cleaning on the house today as I would have liked, and I am irritated with myself about that rather than about the writing.

This is also the first time I have admitted publicly how few total words I have (and how few total pages). Makes me feel rather vulnerable. How embarrassing. However, sola plura verba hic liber requiret.

It was double-spaced in manuscript, mind you! I think it was about 104,000 words. Is your page count based on single-spaced or double-spaced?

My books are nearly *half* that word count, about 60-65K.

Strangely, they appear to be under 300 pages, which must be a margin and font thing.

Oh, and I completely didn't answer your question. Yes, my page count is double spaced.

Don't you want to write YA now? :D
