I'm on the mailing list of a particular indie writer. They mention in an email that went out today getting a just-completed first draft of a 100k novel through four (or more) rounds of edits in time to release it sometime in April.
I realize they write full time (and release like ten books a year), but the mind boggles. Even writing full time, even doing nothing else, I don't think I could get a MS done that quickly, and not such a long one. Am I missing something?
