Creating book 2 in the dark Atlanta series: Game of rebels
At this very moment in time I'm attempting to write around 2500 words a week. The entire book is coming along well and I have currently written over 40,000 words. I do have a word count total in mind and that is between 105,000 and 110,000 words for the novel to be complete and then I will start editing the novel.
This novel is a lot different to the first novel in the dark Atlanta series in that I am having to write a lot more dialogue and there is a lot of world building because of the virtual worlds in the story. I am also having to compromise on certain story arcs because of the word count restrictions. At this moment it does feel like the story is bigger than I anticipated and I'm having to control where it is going but I hope I'll figure it out during the writing process.
I'll keep posting updates along the way.
