Troubadour
All the publishers I've looked at want at lest an eighty thousand word manuscript, some want one hundred thousand or more, and are not considering shorter ones. I don't know if I can write a manuscript that long. When I finished my first book, I began reviewing and revising it. I found many things that I could describe with fewer words. I also removed a whole two thousand word scene because it didn't fit with what came before and after it. I also removed a large conversation between two characters because it didn't do anything for the story and was kinda dull. Then when I reworked all the dialogue, it lessened the word count more. In the end it went from sixty five thousand words, which was already too short, to forty one thousand words which is apparently of no interest at all!
What was I supposed to do? Have everything way drawn out and use as many words as possible?
