What’s a good page count for a fantasy novel?
I am thirteen and I have been writing a fantasy novel for about a month. I was wondering what would be a good number of pages, without having too much. I was thinking 200, yes or no? If not, what would be a better number?
Thanks

The truth is when you’re writing a novel, or even a short story you don’t want to focus on the word count. There’s two reasons for this:
1.) If you try to limit yourself to a certain number of pages you’re going to end up losing a lot of the story in the process. You’ll either lack in the description you need to understand the story and characters or you’ll leave the story with a weak ending.
2.) If you finish writing your story and it ends up short of the intended page count and you try to write more just to increase the length you’re likely to end up adding a lot of fluff and end up weaking the piece in the process.
So instead of shooting for a particular word/page count instead focus on writing your story. Write all the details you need to write. Describe your setting and your characters in a way that makes them come alive. And in the end you’ll have a story you’re proud of.
Also try to remember that when you’re writing you first draft it’s not going to be any spectacular, that’s what editing is for. I don’t say that to be mean it’s true. You can ask anyone who writes, the first draft always sucks especially when compared to the final product. I tell you this so you don’t get discouraged. I’ve been working on a YA novel for over 2 years and it’s still not ready for submission.
