Hello World!

[Peter Hankins]

Good to be here. I have 80k words - you could even call it a novel if you were kind - and I hope to work out what to do with them (or it).

 

[Carol Rose]

Welcome

Hello Peter, I'm new here too. I have 175k worth of work - now desperately trying to trim! Word count seems an issue for both of us! lol

It’s Beauty and the Beast with office technology instead of magic. Bel gets a job with a boss who is a tech millionaire but will not let anyone see him. She has to carry a kind of tablet through which he can interact with people. A complicated relationship develops and... well, you know roughly how the story goes!

Welcome to the Colony, Peter, and congratulations on writing a novel.

Hi Peter and welcome to the Colony. You'll find lots of helpful advice here, as well as a great opportunity to network with fellow writers. I also work as an editor so if you need some help, just drop me a PM.

Sounds like an intriguing concept!

Welcome to the Colony, Peter. My first draft completed at 46,000 words. After some revision it had increased to 55K. A year later the word count had climbed to 76K and, after some major editing, now sits at 62,000 words.

In fact, there was a colossal iceberg behind me, which we were about to hit. What a day that was!
