pjthompsonNice discussion of desired book lengths from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
editorialass and friends here.
The fantasy novel I am reslogging through is now tipping the scales at just over 121k (SMF). That will come down, but I just finished going over the horrific travelogue known as chapter 5 trying to make it work. I came up with a better frame to hang the travelogue on, cut a couple of pages of infoage, but added scenes which replaced the pages cut plus another.
And it's still a damned travelogue! ::sigh::
I need to rethink the entire thing, but I'm fresh out of ideas at the moment, so I'm pushing forward, hoping something will rattle loose as I go. I just hope I don't do my usual trick of "It's out of my sight so I don't have to think about it anymore!"
