Word Length

How long should your story be? 

How many chapters should your story have?

How many scenes should a chapter have? 

This is enogh to give you a headache.  I don't think there is a correct answer to these questions.  So what you feel you need to do. is what you need to do. 

I write 20 chapters...Three scenes in each chapter...I read somewhere a long time ago, that was a good formula to stick to.  I don't know it that works for today, but that is what I do.

20 pages per chapter gives me 400 pages....It is easy to plot out this way for me.  Easy for me to see if I need to add more pages.

That is what I do.  What do you think?????

How do you determine the word length???

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.
