@ryowildfire, WELCOME TO THE GROUP! I hope you will be able to participate and learn and make friends here. I’ve been somewhat absent, but felt it’s a part of my duty to welcome you.

In answer to your question about writing length I can’t give you the “answer” that will “solve” the problem. But I can give you my own opinion based on my own experience. I myself started writing with plans to write a best-selling novel of over 40K words. That, however, was derailed fairly quickly. Long story. But suffice it to say I’m trying for the shorter version of that. Novellas seem to be far more attainable for me now. It’s not the easiest thing because it means figuring out was to write shorter but still tell the whole story. I’m working on it.

I would say if you plan to keep the length where it is, try to find places where you can use more precise wording so you use less words earlier on. Did that make sense?
