But at least Part 3 has developed better than I thought it would.
I’ve got a few concerns about a couple of dialogue heavy scenes,
but those will be edited down later. Better they’re on the page
than just in my head though. At least I’ve got something to work
with now.
I also keep wondering if the book as it is will be too short. It
feels short, although I’m aiming for something like 70k
words. I think it’s because the story is so fast paced. On the one
hand, I like that and I hope it’s as gripping as I intended. On the
other hand though, I hope it’s not so fast that people don’t get
a good feel for the characters. Because if people don’t connect
with the characters, they won’t care what happens next anyway.
Even once the first draft is complete there will still be a ton of
work to do on it before I let anyone near it. Because it’s so
different in style and tone to my previous stuff it’s hard to gauge
how it will be received. I think if I’ve pulled it off right it
should be pretty damn cool. If not…
