Some of my rough drafts for romance novels have been around 120,000 - 140,000. Needless to say, I needed to chop out a lot of extra words! But my novels still average more than 50,000. I guess you could say they're more drama/contemp/romance than plain romance though.
ReplyDeleteI can see that, plus, this is an average. Think about all the mass market paperback romances out there. There's nothing wrong with being above average.
