I figured I should eventually back up this blog, in case, you know, Google goes bankrupt or something. So I've cut and pasted all the entries into a word processor file. Of course, I was also curious as to how much I've written altogether.
The answer is: 354 pages, single spaced. Or in words, 193,632. Or to put it in terms more people can understand, that's somewhere between Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Or, close to the length of Johnathon Franzen's The Corrections. I should get around to reading that; maybe it won't feel so intimidating now.
Or, it's around a third of Infinite Jest or War and Peace. Or it's the Bible almost to the end of Judges. So that's pretty good for a little over two-and-a-half years of part-time writing. But still, don't expect my Great Canadian Novel soon, unless I go in to NaNoWriMo.
