Some geeky statistics for Indebted
a year ago
I've been writing a 10-part series called _Indebted_, meaning i'll be spending 10 weeks writing this.
Here's a one-sentence summary:
> Our protagonist owes debt to loan sharks, which pulls them into an almost abusive workplace as they try to pay it off and figure out how to live in this werewolf world.
Just for fun, i did some statistics with approximate wordcounts, because i'm an A-Level maths student and my subconscious has been itching to apply this (sofar basic) knowledge.
(caveat: I pasted the full manuscript into a word-counter rather then the pure story so omit about 500 words per part)
Part Wordcount
01 5300
02 7000
03 5800
04 12000
05 6300
06 3500 (so far; i'm still to write the sex scene)
Total: 5300+7000+5800+12000+6300+3500 => 39900
Mean: total/6 => 6650
Final wordcount assuming ten parts: 6650*10 => 66,500
It's intresting to see that i'll have written my first novel-length work. It's a little unsettling knowing that i've written it in such a niche that i'll never be able to show the original manuscript to my IRL peers, but at least i have comfort knowing that i write about furry characters in such a way that they're basically just humans doing human things, so it'll be relatively easy to turn the web serial into something paletable for the mainstream.
