I'm at 60000 and it is getting hard. It's like pulling Teeth at this point. Skip did a really good job of editing almost all of what I've done so far and the quality of the work is significantly improved. After talking with him and feeling out the story, I think I'm going to end it somewhere between 72000 and 75000 words. The problem is that research I've done suggest that to most publishers 80000 is the minimum they will take for print. I know that 'technically' 45000 counts as a novel but publishers don't see it that way.
100000 is the basic bar that they want. This is humor and horror which is a totally different genre than Sci Fi/Fantasy so it might work. We'll see.
