Back when I was finishing the first draft of MAGE STORM, I posted that it was a little short. I wasn’t worried about that at the time because I knew I’d end up expanding it in the revisions.
Now that I’m about two-thirds of the way through the third draft, the tables are turned.
Since I’ve decided that MAGE STORM is really Middle Grade, not Young Adult, I’m now concerned that it’s creeping up towards being too long. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
I know there’s some stuff at the end that I’ll probably cut or at least cut back. Probably it will still end up about the right length.
Out of pure curiosity, how long is it now and how long do you intend it to be?

It’s hovering just under 60,000 words. As middle-grade, that’s close to the maximum length it should be.

Thanks.
The theme is Mistylook, but the header photo is mine, taken in Princess Louisa Inlet, British Columbia, about 15 years ago.
The photo and the location were the inspiration for the world-building for DREAMER’S ROSE.
