I think I'll end up with a short novel instead of a novella, which is to say, something in the neighborhood of 50,000 words. Most editors draw the line at 40,000 words. Doesn't matter one way or the other except for competitions, should I choose to enter any. With the right judge, this book could do well in competitions because it is so obviously non-commercial. Some judges like that. I sometimes do when judging, for example.
My worst experience judging was quite a while ago when I didn't want to give a prize to any of the finalists. Bad thing to confess. I should've just flipped a coin. But I truly was appalled by the poor quality, which makes me an elitist snob commie has-been asshole dinosaur. What else is new?
