[aryanhwy]

144 days.

Almost 300 handwritten A4 pages, which equates to roughly 550 A5 pages when typed.

104807 words, of which exactly 50,000 were written in November.

Approximately 1000 hours worth of Nightwish.

Draft Two (editing) starts tomorrow.

Do you know how much I cherish hearing things like, "You've done it; ergo it can be done"? What I usually hear is, "Ugh! I could never do that! You're scary-intimidating! / I'm just a normal human being unlike you."

I could see that if your process was mysterious and opaque and black-box-ey. But you tell us how you do it! And when we have questions, you answer them! Yeah, you have some weird specialized knowledge that some others don't have -- but surely the reverse is true.

Then again, I'm often the person that people find scary-intimidating, so maybe we are both abnormal to other people, but you seem normal to me?
