So without really meaning to, I've finished another book. This one is
more a result of just writing everyday and reaching a conclusion than a
goal to write another book, if that makes sense. Just looked for an
interesting theme to explore and chipped away at it. It took twice as
long as normal and is shorter than usual, but it's a complete story.
Passed 50,000 words on "Eden's Return," which just goes to show that I should never worry about length. By the time I finish the second draft, I'll be beyond 60,000 words, which is fine.
I wanted this story to be shorter.
I have one chapter and the epilogue to go, which I think I can finish today.
There are plenty of concepts to explore here. I don't want the theme to overwhelm the story, but I'd like to add a little depth to it all. Just going to tinker with it, try to find ways to introduce the concepts.
FINISHED: It ended up at 52,400 words. I figure the rewrite will add about 15% as usual, so it may end up close to 70,000 words, which would be great. Anything above 60K would be fine.
Different than what I've done before. I like it, though I think it will need some strong rewriting. I want to delve into philosophy, though I'm not sure how I'm going to do that. That's my intent, at least.
I'm moving more and more into fantasy and science fiction, rather than horror or thrillers.
Not sure what to do next. I'd intended to rewrite and that's probably what I should do, rather than write another one. But...I never turn down ideas.
