What is the most you've ever written? A thesis? A novel? A letter?

I wrote a novel I was fourteen and cranked out 340+ pages, but my hard drive fried.

Lesson learned.

I started writing a novella, it’s up to about 98 pages Microsoft Word size 10 Arial with white space in between each paragraph and about 44,000 words. It’s a mystery involving a group of teens as the protagonists. It’s fun, I love writing. I’ve also written something else about 37 pages Microsoft Word, 18,000 words. They’re both works in progress. The 98 page one I started last year. The other one I started in 2007 but didn’t work on it for a while.

I had my Internet connection cut off prematurely about four months ago. I was moving and didn’t bother to have it turned back on. So I was without Internet. No job, lots of beer, and a month of nothing to do.

I wrote my life story. It is a few hundred pages.

A Master’s thesis was my longest completed work. It was 210 pages long in 12 point type with the required margins, etc. I have no idea how many words it was because my major professor insisted that I type it all on a typewriter, because that is what he had to do. Every time it was edited in a major way I had to retype the whole thing. It took 2 1/2 years but resulted in two published papers and a job.

I both loved and hated it.

Undergrad Art History Thesis, which is undergoing its 3rd revision as of right now. It has involved one main paper 20–25 pages, not including images, an accompanying 10 page paper which is to be read at a formal Symposium at the conclusion of the course. I completed the major paper in a week, WITH my harddrive deleting half of it…and it took a few days for the presentation paper. At this point, I’m glad its over, but I enjoyed writing about my topic. :)

138 pages . . .took me 2months . . .stopped half way through the story and never finished it. . .Ive done that twice and Im on my 3rd attempt at a new story.

The largest document I ever wrote was a little over 30 pages. It took me a semester.

I have a few friends who do nanowrimo every year and think it would be fun to try it sometime.

Novel 88,888 words, mystery, love and revenge.

Masters thesis, 263 pages

Double doctorate thesis 358 pages

Several beach novels, between 8–12 thousand words each.

Several tech manuals and instruction manuals.

i write bits and pieces, each not going beyond 5 pages though, thas all i can manage in a single session

Well, isn’t DrBill a fancypants.

30 pages, it was a very lengthy outline

@asmonet

Actually they’re just Levi’s, I had them chromed on my own.

did I mention the novel is titled “Eight”?

I would have never guessed. ;)
Published anywhere?

sometimes i write something for hours. See it some time, wonder what i was writing and tear it up ;()

I’m about 33 pages into a novel I’ve been writing since 7th grade, I’m in 8th grade now. It won’t really be a novel now, I’m running out of things to do with it.

@asmonet

Yes, but it is the far back corner of the adult section

I wrote about 100,000+ words into a novel and then decided to start over again. That was fun.

@asmonet oh no, about your work

I think the longest piece I’ve ever written was my literature review regarding the ability of healthcare practitioners to recognize and treat postpartum depression in new mothers…next to that is my cancer research write up in high school

I’m blogging all the time, and emailing; but the longest work I’ve done to date (that I finished) was a Star Trek novel, entitled, Star Trek: The New Era, nearly 300 pages long. It takes place 100 yrs after Picard’s time period, and a new species of Borg, complete with a King as well as a Queen rule the Collective, and they want revenge on the Federation. Meanwhile to answer this threat, Starfleet has commenced Project: Auroriales.
It was a good exercise, and very enjoyable as I got to use a whole new crew and starship (my own design) and mingle them with some established Trek characters like Kirk, Picard, Data, Guinan and some others.
I have a fantasy project that’s not finished yet, and still, is longer than my Trek story, but for now its collecting dust.
:::sigh:::

@TheKNYHT

Let me read yours and I’ll let you read mine.

A ~50 page undergrad philosophy thesis. It’s a theodicy, and primarily uses the work of Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne.

The most I ever wrote for school was a 30-page research paper on missing white woman syndrome (attractive white women who disappear get a lot more media coverage than others, even when there aren’t developments in the story.) I’m also trying to write a book. I have two notebooks full of notes, but maybe only 10 pages of actual novel.

a letter but i want to write a childrens book
