The Great Gatsby is shorter, and it is arguably one of the greats.<br />But you are right that it is a good length for a (albeit long) MG. If it works as a motivator, and if you need an outside motivator, (most of us do) it's all fine. Thumbs up for all the brave!<br />I'm looking from the sidelines, but I LOVE the notion that a whole nation is writing novels all at once. Is this a great country, or what?Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.com
