Quote: Out of the 3 novel-like things I'm working on, this is the only one I've blasted through 30,000-ish words without stopping or going back. So what you read was the first pass. I haven't re-read through it yet. The other 2, I've gone through at least a 2nd pass, which is why they aren't up to nearly that word count yet. You need to blast through another 30,000 or so to a conclusion (even if its not the full ending) and then take a breath to look at revisions. Quote: There are a few similar names in it, which were accidental. Abel station is named after a friend of mine. The name Shen Rae was picked *after* the name Ray (which appears later). I'm still thinking about whether to rename Shen Rae now, though, because I might get a nasty-gram from Disney re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - even though Shen Rae preceded the movie by years.Shen is also the surname of the principal female character in George Hemry's "JAG in Space" series. Hemry's better known these days as bestselling "nuts and bolts" SF writer Jack Campbell. Shen is a popular outer space name. Should Disney challenge your copyright you have incontrovertable dated proof of copyright online. Quote: I do need to improve a lot of the chapter breaks because they were arbitrary at first. I just kind of shoved them in at intervals that made them "bite sized", but it was originally just one long chapter all the way through to Abel Station.Nothing wrong with long chapters if that serves the story - or no chapters at all. My Transdimensional Travel Company novel has seven chapters total, averaging out at 11,000 words each. | |||||||
