I'm working on my three WIPs I have in progress. I've had a plethora of beta readers who say they love the stories. But, I cannot seem to get near that 80K words minimum for a full-length novel I can even think about shopping to a publisher – let alone the 100 to 150K other writers have suggested I need to end up with 80K after any publisher's editor does the "slash and burn."
Getting to 80K? I can't seem to break 50K.
