I read chapter four of 82 Eridani: Journey to my writers’ group last night and received generally favorable feedback. Writers’ groups are a great resource for any writer and mine “The Shared Word Writers’ Group,” despite being quite small, has been a great help to me.
I’ve shared the first four chapters, but I’ve written six so far. These are fairly long chapters and this will be one of my longer books– 4,000 word chapters x 30 chapters = 120,000 words. Of course, that’s just how I’ve plotted it. My books usually tend to end up shorter than originally planned. For instance, The Voyage of the Minotaur, The Drache Girl, and The Two Dragons were all plotted out at 125,000 words and they ended up being 110,000, 105,000, and 106,000 respectivley.
Stay tuned tomorrow, for a little background about the book.
