Scout_Fox Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Wow... I hope this wasn't all counted but can't really think of another way to find it. If it was, all I can say is you have incredible patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Brandon wrote the novel, it was almost always one view point per chapter(until the end) so, most of the time, i could just quickly highlight the whole chapter and get the word count instead of having to go slowly and keep an eye out for every PoV transition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fearing that you had actually counted out each word as crazy as that seemed and was just... yknow... making sure all the marbles were still there (not really, but not not really at the same time lol). Still though, quite impressive and interesting to look at the time given to each character and think about how that affected the plot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
