Getting to a point where Word Count is getting indeterminate, what with revisions, deletions, backfills. No longer a reliable indicator of progress.
More Experienced Writers: Is this a normal stage in book development? Feels a bit frustrating.
@mikro2nd Past a certain point, yeah, wc doesn't tell me much. Mine seem to go through 3 stages (roughly):
1. Oh no it'll be too short
2. Wait how is this 200K words
3. Finshed at 110-130K
@mikro2nd I really don't use wordcount any more. I spend too much time editing, and thus not producing WC. Other writers I know do used WC, but it's fallen by the wayside for me...
