This weekend I finished the (very) rough draft of my hobby sci-fi novel manuscript.
115k words, 45 chapters, front to back readable.
Written in two months, but thought about for years which made the writing come out faster. It needs a ton of revision work, especially since fiction writing isn't my expertise.
Most people have to edit/revise down their manuscript, but I envision this being filled a bit more to 120k+ words.
For reasons I can't say due to spoilers, the third act was the hardest for me. For most writers, the second act is the hardest, kind of that "meh" middle. My middle was tight and fun and easy to write. But due to a couple nontraditional story structure elements, as well as the most technical action sequence in the story, the third act was *really* hard. But I managed to figure it out and am quite satisfied with it.
Now I have to revise and optimize it all.
