• Is 12 to 20 books per year a good range for an aspiring writer?

  I always found target number of books a bit strange. I tend to get books in the 5-6hr range (shout out to https://howlongtoread.com/). When it comes to books that would take me like 10-12hrs it starts to feel a bit daunting. With my sched it takes me like 2 weeks to finish a 5-6hr book coz of my schedule. A 10-12 hr book would probs take me a month. Source: about 1 year ago

  It's 71k words according to howlongtoread.com but I don't know how accurate that website is. As far as I know, for a book to be considered a novella, it has to be under 40k words. It's definitely shorter than average, though. Most debut fantasy novels are 100k words, and The Goblin Emperor is 133k. Source: over 2 years ago
