    Post a paragraph!

    I like it. Based on this small taste, I want to read more. This is interesting. I couldn't guess the genre from that paragraph, but again, I would want to read on. We have moved on from feet in an earlier paragraph, to footwear. Evolution? ?

    Post a paragraph!

    Not sure what a flying fuck fest is, but I want to find out. ? Years ago I had a girlfriend who, despite being otherwise attractive, had feet like a Hobbit. Terrifying.

    What is a good word count for a single chapter?

    I keep it to between 1k and 2k. My average is about 1400 words. I did have one chapter that went well beyond 2k, so I cut it in half and did a slight rewrite to make it into two decent chapters.

    Post a paragraph!

    Post a paragraph (no more!) from whatever you are currently working on. Is it typical of your writing? Are you happy with it? Here is a paragraph of mine from an upcoming chapter. It's from a calm interlude in the action, not a lot is happening. I am quite pleased with it, but I will...

    I have found the secret to writing long novels!

    I'm very impressed. I managed 1100 words yesterday and felt pleased with myself! If you can keep up a 9000 word a day tempo, that's a book written every couple of weeks! Amazing!

    Do you plan ahead or write as you go?

    I have an idea of what I want to put in each chapter. Sometimes my brain has other plans though and extra stuff gets added, stuff gets bumped to the next chapter etc.. Having a plan is good, but I think it's important to be flexible too.

    After The End

    Chapter 14 is up! https://www.scribblehub.com/read/518045-after-the-end/chapter/551613/ It's a direct continuation of c13, which got too long, so I split it in 2 and rewrote a bit.

    I'm feeling pleased with myself!

    Before today, the longest thing I'd ever written was a 20,000 word project at university. My story on here passed 21,000 words with today's post. It's not the best story, or the longest. But it's the best, longest story that I've written, and I'm feeling good! Everyone help yourselves to a...

    After The End

    Chapter 10 is finally up. I pretty much binned my first attempt at writing it and started over. It now does what I want it to, and sets up the next few chapters pretty well. The story itself will move quicker from this point, with more action...

    When you write an outline, how much detail do you go into?

    I think I'd forget stuff if I didn't have some notes. You must have a better memory than I do!

    When you write an outline, how much detail do you go into?

    That second point is an excellent one. I should start doing that. Thank you. :s_smile: Very helpful. I think using the filter ideas will help me with characters. IE - how would this character act in this situation? I think that will help a lot with making my characters more believable. I...
