The past several months watching @robkroese, @TheBrometheus, @BrianNiemeier, @cirsova's commentary, @Gabino_Iglesias and a whole host of others really shifted my opinions on "necessary" word count for novels. I generally see 70k+, but it needn't be so!

Don't mean any disrespect to those who can pump out 275k word epics. I'm just not at a place to 1) do that or 2) read that right now. I read somewhere (can't remember where) to write the minimum required for your readers to understand & enjoy the story - no more is required.

Start at the beginning, and when you get to the end, stop. Word counts are much more important if you're selling to a publisher rather than to the public.
