comment What is the recomended word-count for a fantasy-fiction book?
@LaurenIpsum Hey Lauren sorry about answering so late! I decided to just write away and not mind so much about the word count, I think I'll manage to make it 100k.

I understand. Well by main arc I mean the main conflict. Maybe main arc means something else? Sorry english is not my native language.

comment What is the recomended word-count for a fantasy-fiction book?
Thanks lucy. The thing is the book I am writing it is sort of a prologue to the whole story I am already at 60k and not begun with the main arc of this first book. I have some beta readers that even tell me that I don't invest enough in descriptions of the world (something I have been changing). That is why I ask this question... Do you have any suggestions about this?

comment What is the recomended word-count for a fantasy-fiction book?
I am wondering mainly because I am already 60k and not close to finishing so it is sort of a bad sign...

comment Write multiple trilogies or make a saga?
How can I make the first book finish with a natural stopping point and the possibility of something more at the same time? It seems it is the best way for a new author. What do you suggest to achieve this?
