Through different Eyes - first draft approaching completion!
Added 2022-03-25 10:14:43 +0000 UTC"Through different Eyes" is the sequel to "Through my Eyes. Again. - and it's now getting very close to first draft completion. Chapter 19 is done and I'm into the final chapter. It's been a bit of a journey - Word tells me Chapter 1 was commenced on 27th September 2020 at 9:53pm.
At present, the book is 155,554 words, so I expect the first draft to be about 160,000+ words ... which may be a bit long. One chapter is over 10,000 words at present. One of the pieces of feedback I'll be looking for is pacing - does the story move forward fast enough? If not, I may need to cut some scenes...although on my editing list before I release the beta is checking though to make sure Col's hatred of lies and falsehood comes across strong enough...
In other news, I posted a 496 word short story to SoL - and it scored 5.8 - the lowest of all my stories. I've decided to pull it - it may eventually appear in an anthology!
Take care of you and yours,
