Hello again everyone! Happy Leap Day! Last Leap Day, I was an eighth grader about to graduate. Now I'm a twelfth grader about to graduate. And next Leap Day, I could be a college senior about to graduate! It's crazy how these things seem to work in four-year stints.
Anyway, I am here with some new offerings: final stats on my stories and an excerpt for the novel I'm writing for my senior project.
First, the stats:
Overall, and not counting the title or the "The End" I would put at the end of each story, the total word count of my 52 stories is: 123,736 words!! That is about 16,000 more than Wuthering Heights and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and about 12,000 less than A Tale of Two Cities.
And in Microsoft Word 12-point Times New Roman font, single-spaced, again without the titles or "The End," my stories are: 228 pages!! In a novel, depending on how it's formatted, that could be around 460-480 pages.
I must say, I'm pretty happy with those stats. I'm curious to see how my novel will compare! Speaking of, read further if you'd like an excerpt...
Edit: I have added the prologue to the excerpt.
