I agree it's not worth worrying about. And for a trilogy, if one of the books is going to be longer, it seems like it makes sense for it to be the final one, so your counts sound good to me!Lisa Ecksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469107523441985396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010942979784569627.post-9821643952825048182012-05-10T17:21:56.489-07:002012-05-10T17:21:56.489-07:00Funny you bring this up; I'm revising the seco...Funny you bring this up; I'm revising the second of a trilogy, and it's probably going to come in at a svelte 75K or so, while the first currently sits at 88K. The third, ahem, is going to end up over 125K. Sometimes it's difficult to equally distribute plot; it sort of falls where it does. I'm not going to worry about it; plenty occurs in the second novel, all necessary to set the third book in motion. Just one of those little ironies, I suppose. :)))Anna Scott Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744202738210301084noreply@blogger.com
