Thanks, bpcyclist! I'm aiming for around 70,000 minimum, but I want quality over quantity.

I just free write, in the beginning. I then go back and cut out the excess (sometimes logorrhea). Yup! Then make other content improvements/additions. Again, this type of writing is fairly new to me (the last few years). Prior to that, I mostly wrote articles and marketing pieces. I've always loved storytelling, but mostly oral storytelling. It's a slightly different animal. I like to be animated. and utilize a wide range of vocal expression. More multidimensional. How best to transfer some of that into writing? I'm exploring the existing methods, but feel there is still an established constraint.

Hey, I love to dance! Dance is physical. What's going on in the brain is physical.

I also wish I could be a hummingbird for a day. Such master flyers! Amazing dancers!
