Just have the prologue and epilogue to do and I’ve finished the second draft of my novel. Thank goodness! It’s around 55,000 words. Is that too short for a novel? When I checked Wikipedia it said the minimum novel length is 40,000 words. However, the general rule of thumb seems to be, from speaking to people and reading comments, around 80,000 words.
