I'm trying to motivate myself to write here, so bear with me. My total word count for the Alyssa Project now stands at 8256 - and tonight I wrote 1142 words. I have been sitting here wondering if I should mention what the scenes were about - but decided not to.... it just seems like too much information about a novel in progress to put on the web. Suffice it to say, there were two scenes. Just like with the last two novels I wrote, I'm finding that 500 words is the length of an average scene. Now I'm curious to go analyze some other author's work to see how long other people make an "average scene" as if there really is one.
