SORRY, SORRY, don’t get mad, but I have a word count question. There seem to be standard word counts, which you’ve laid out before, but at least for adult books, it seems like a lot of published books are longer than usual target word counts. I’m a chronic underwriter, so I HATE having to try to write more. Do you think it’s okay to be on the shorter side? Is there an expectation that editing with an agent and editor will make the word count longer, and that’s why published books are often longe
