To help visually see my progress, I'm going to post page counts on the three stories I'm working on. The page counts are a little bit misleading in Word. A standard 8.5 x 11 document with 67 pages translates to roughly 90 pages in a pocket sized paperback book. So my 8.5 x 11 page count may be low, but there is at least a 20 page buffer.
I would like each book to be a minimum of 250 pocket size pages. Now that we have that cleared up, here is where I'm at:
Crush - 38 standard pages (60 pocket size)
Red Bow - 67 standard pages (90 pocket size)
Untitled - 1 standard page (1 pocket size)
I'll be completely honest and say that most of my writing right now is on Crush. I really like the way that the story is unfolding. Since I don't know anything about proper writing technique, I'm writing this backwards. Backwards you ask? No, I'm not writing sdrawkcaB, I'm writing the ending first. Why the ending first? Because that is what is fresh in my mind. At least for this story, knowing where the story ends up will help me work the plotline from the beginning of the story.
