Ah, okay then. Guess you would have probably known about that already.

Thank you for the help though. I only learned about it a little while ago. I wish I had known about it when I had started writing.

I am still going to use the last eight days to see how far I get in the story, I just started the 18th century I still have the 19th, 20th, and the finale in the 21st to go still.

Do it!

I fricking love Google Drive. I've been moving my story back and forth from my phone to my computer.

Lol, mine is going to be longer than 100k. I'm up to about 80k total, and only 6 weeks into a 5-month timeline. Though it will get faster once we get through the main conflict.

I am not sure how long this will be for me since I still have two and half centuries left to get through in my 500 year plot line. I have an idea for the finale which will take place in the 21st century London, where my characters were born way back in the 16th century but I am still in the first twenty years of the 18th century now. I'm liking my pirate theme too much to end it just yet...then it's on to the American Revolution which will be fun. ^^

I'm three weeks into my two month timeline. It's late fall so my characters are on a race against winter.

You could always make a sequel or trilogy, Ani-Mei? 500 years sounds like a helluva long time to get through in one novel!

I could but I don't think I will, I will keep it as one. I already had a trilogy started in 2017 but didn't finish the second part in 2018 so I won't be doing that again any time soon. I like this story more in truth than the trilogy I began in 2017.

Maybe you could do what Tolkien did with The Lord of the Rings where it's one giant book that's usually broken up into separate volumes? He wanted it as one book but his publishers told him no one would buy it and told him to break it up.

I won't be publishing though, it's currently at 61k and still just begun my arc during the American Revolution. I'm predicting at least 80k or so, maybe 90k if something else comes up.

90k isn't that long! Mine is already almost that long (across 2 Nanos), and I'm 6 weeks in. Almost caught up to where the site says I should be by day 26!

Yeah I couldn't find those graphs on the new site this year so I just winged it until I finished four days ago.

It's on the stats page... which is really freaking hard to find. I had to bookmark it when I finally found it, now it's the only page I use.
