Hi! I’m currently working on the first draft of my novel, and it’s about 220+ book pages so far. Unfortunately, i am really not that far along with my plot, and i’m anticipating very roughly that the finished “book 1” or just, this project, will be around 400+ pages :,)

Obviously, I don’t want to drag my story on for that long, and obviously, I don’t want it to be too rushed either. How do I know when to stop?

I’m presuming this would be after I finish my first draft, so I’ll see after then. But comments and help and tips on planning would be appreciated!

"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
