(after about 1.3 million words, not intended for publication)
Sheesh. I’m at 106k words and that’s 10x more than any single thing I’ve ever written before. 1.3 million sounds impossible - what a journey writing that must have been!
Nothing kills the joy of writing for me more than “okay, but is it marketable enough to sell?” No shade on anyone who wants to be published! It’s just not for me.
I can get that. In my case, I am going to need a second career as I age, and personal circumstances limit the sorts of things I can consider. Fortunately, this is something I can consider, something I am really enjoying, and something I think I can learn to be good at.
If you are willing to share, what’s the scope and general description of your huge work?
