bomberqueen, that isn’t a novel that’s ten novels wut

Oh I wrote 300k, threw it out, wrote a different 300k this time in 1st person with the characters switched up, then rewrote that second 300k from scratch because I was trying to master POV. Then I started over, and ran out of brain. So, ~1 million words. I only counted because Neil Gaiman said you had to write a million words badly before you could write well, and I thought, well– if this hasn’t done it I should give up. And I did, but it didn’t take. So. Here I still am.
