Hi writers,
I was wondering what is the average word count most writers finish the first draft on? I havent finshed my own yet, but my first draft so far is litrally plain and so bad I am fighting myself not to edit it eerrrrrrr...
So yeah if you guys could be super great and tell me!
Thanks writers :)
Really it depends on what your writing. My novella finished around 12000 words for my first draft and my target for it being finished is 15000 whereas my novel finished at 59010 but that was only the first draft and my personal target was 60000 words. Get the story written and then go back an edit but making small notes to go back to as you go along couldn't hurt. I felt so much better when I just finished my story before I even thought about going back to the beginning because I used to have a big problem with not finishing everything because I was constantly going back. I hope that you find something to help you in this tired answer somewhere :D Good luck with what you're writing by the way.
