how many pages in your li'l writing project?
i dunno what other sub-section this goes under - so i'll just put it here :}
Does anyone (I'm sure they do) have any li'l writing projects?
Just a quick, pointless question (just wanted to make a thread, really - I'm bored  )
how many pages into it are you? I automatically assume that it is a size 12, double-spaced format so that's just over 300 words a page depending on whether you have a readable font type...
yeah so how many?
I'm just over 300 pages in... which would have been more had i not strangely decided to delete an entire and unnecessary chapter.
you can also talk about your garbage here if you want - i don't care :} |

None of my writing projects are "li'l". I'm 305 pages into my latest novel, and it isn't size 12, nor is it double spaced. It's size 10 Trump Mediaeval. So, you do the math on that one. I'd say it's about 900 to 1000 ordinary novel-sized pages.

Well, if I double spaced it and put it in 12, It would probably amount to three-hundred and fifty pages. Either way, it looks good to me.

I am 183 pages in to one and 97 pages into another. The first is not even one quarter done. The second is a different genre and has less pages per average book in that genre...so it is about 30% done...oh and that does not include notes, character bios, or any other extraneous info.

-About two notebooks full of short story ideas and snippets of dialog I've heard around.
-20 pages or so of unfinished short stories
-5 pages of a finished second draft of a short story
I know, I know, I'm a horrible procrastinator...

Well, I've got 270 pages. That's about 15 and two thirds of a chapter. I recon it will be about 25 chapters so that's about 170 pages give or take to go.

About 40 pages on one, 30 in another and and just finishing a short story. Trying to get past the 50 page number which is when I usually abandon stuff.
