When you have written a novel, editing the story into manageable parts can be a challenge.
I am working on two different novels but I will only publish one this coming February. I haven't decided on which one yet... but I bet you have already guessed it these are loves stories. My stories have plenty of action and drama but
Nocturnal Redemption and
Gibbous are driven by the relationship of these people instead of a crisis like in book one of
In the Name of Blood.
One is pretty much done for a first book release and to finish the rest of the story episodically in a series instead of all at once. Trouble is the story is under 40K words. I like my novels around 45K words.
Gibbous is done at 60K words but I want to expand the story so the adventure is smoother and the characters are perfected.
After worrying all this time about releasing a novella instead of a novel, I remembered: I am the publisher! I can do whatever I want. Then all the stress and worry dissolved.
I feel much better now.
...but you will have to wait to see which one I publish in February 2017. Is it the vampire, supernatural romance of Nocturnal Redemption? Or the werewolf saga of Gibbous?
Who wants to guess?
Have a great and wonderful day!
