I tend to grumble about the fact that my novel is too long, that 160,000 words is too long, that I should really cut some scenes and so on... But I have to admit that part of me is actually proud of this achievement. I know I shouldn't be. I know that a long novel is not necessarily a better novel. Yeah, but it's still 160,000 words long. I wrote 160,000 words. And I feel smug. That is...until I have to edit those thousands of words for the hundredth time. Then I wish I'd written a short story!
