My estimates indicate about 80k for 200 pages. Truly finished would be nice, but that's dependent on a beta, so it's not critical. And I'm not working at the moment, although I'm looking for work.
I calculated the time based on writing for 2-3 hours/day, 3-4 days/week. That would be about 10 pages per week. I've plotted out 35 chapters and have averaged about 6 pages per chapter with what I've already written, so I have about 180-200 pages left to go. Which means 20 weeks, or 5 months. Which seems like *FOREVER*, but maybe it's not? What do you think, as an experienced novelist?
Also, I had no idea you were still lurking around LJ! *smooch* I've missed you. ;)
