How Many "Novels" Have You Written So Far?
A short while back, I became very curious about the typical number of words in a novel. I'm an avid reader and have been all my life. But somehow I had never thought about length in words. And then, I became a blogger and content marketer and started obsessing over the number of words in my posts and the volume of content on my site.
Has anyone else done that? :)
Anyhow, it suddenly popped into my head one day that at about 200K words, my total volume of content might be getting pretty darn close to novel length. So, I asked my friend Google and discovered the fun fact above.
This is a little tongue-in-cheek, of course, but it seems I may be closing in on my third short novel. And, after recently jumping into the Super Affiliate Challenge, it seems I'm going to be writing a whole lot more "novels" in the coming year.
A couple days ago I published my longest post yet at 3,500 words and I'm wondering when, if ever, it gets easier. Publishing is always such a relief and I usually feel just fried. Then, I latch onto that next keyword and I do it again :)
Of course, there is a method to my madness now. I know they need a senior and retiree in Vegas next year to keep them in line. There are a lot of us in the SAC this year which is cool, because we know retirees rock, right?
Then again, I better get back to it if I plan on getting to the Vegas conference in 2020, because there's a lot of hard work ahead of us. That's okay though because I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes.
I'm not fond of weeds, lol! What about you?
So, the comment section is open. Will you jump in and let us know how many "novels" you've completed so far or what your plans are for the coming year?
We do need to have fun with this, right?

Hi Coreena,
I see you just joined the end of February. So, the prologue is just about right. :) I know you've got this, so keep plugging!
Well I am not as far along as you, about 30,000 words, but your post gives me something to think about, perhaps a short novel, do the call that a novella, well thanks you're inspiring.

Well, I kinda like weeds...wrote a book about Alaskan wild and edible plants and taught classes on them. However, they have their place and cultivated plants have another. I guess you could say our posts are cultivated???
Yes, they need a lot of us seniors there to keep them in line. These young ones need Managers to keep them from straying off course.

I am around 30k words here, but I've written much more off line.
Hi Rhonda,
