I figured out the average number of words per page on a normal-sized book (one side of the paper) and it's 350. So then I figured out how many words I have right now in my largest work that I've been writing for over a "year" now (there were many months where I wrote nothing) and what I have right now is the equivilant of 63 pages in a book. That means the way I structured my whole story was bad. I know I need to go back and add to the scenes, but I can't really think of more to add....and I'm nearing the end of the plot that I had planned out. Ideally, I want at least 200, preferably 250 book pages done. So what does that mean for me?

Crap.

I'm really tempted to just give up on that plot line, but I still want to finish it. I also began to brainstorm new ideas for a novel-sized story, but I can only think of short-stories. I have one idea that would be great for a shorter, young-adult story....but it's kind of hard to write and not swear. Think about it. Yeah, even if you don't ever swear in real life, sometimes it's easier for your characters to make a point by using curse words. But obviously you can't do that with a young-adult book.....I need to get out of my current frame of mind before I can even venture down that road....
