BlackKnight - Never to late to say hello
Best of luck with the edits, what's you word count? If I may ask.
Ha, ha, err, yeah, word count, (closes eyes in pained embarrassment)
EXCUSE: When I started, I was only writing for my own enjoyment, I had no preconceived ideas or expectations, I just let the story play out - and that was my problem.
When the first draft was complete, the total was
419,390, yes, that's right, 419,390.
I am currently trimming/culling/massacring adverbs and over-description, I also have a couple of re-writes to do. When I finish it, this version will probably only be for me.
Next, my intention is to remove several characters and sub-plots in the hope that I can get it down to a two-part story length - complete with suitable break point. From the way things are going, I can't see this happening before the end of the year.
I'm also spending odd minutes here and there collating ideas for my next project...
