Book 3 – And off we go again

2300 words into book 3.. This is a slow start. One of the hardest things to do is get through the first 10000 words. I really struggle with the beginning of novels. It usually takes me a few weeks to warm up to the routine again. It’s been three months since I finished the edit of book 2 and I was completely out of juice. At the moment I am only averaging five to six hundred words a day which is pretty miserable when faced with another 100000 word uphill struggle. I get into the flow after the first couple of chapters and then things start moving (fingers crossed). NANOWRIMO is something I could never get the handle of because if my pacing or story structure is rushed all I end up with is 50000 words of pure shite which is a complete waste of time when I could be concentrating on the long slog of forming something worth reading. Either that or I just can’t write to that level. Not that NONOWRIMO isn’t worth doing I think its an amazing challenge for those who are able for it. My targets are at least 1000 words a day. If I can manage 1000 a day then book three should have a good chunk ready by May… YAY!

 

Book 3 is the last instalment of The Agathon series BOOOOOOOO… I want to go out on a bang with this story. I am already planning my 4th book which is a stray from sci-fi and into the thriller arena to shake things up a bit so keep an eye out for that in late 2016..

 

By the way you can now buy The Agathon book 1 for only $0.99 !!!
