Writing Manuscripts and Chapters
It’s funny I didn’t work on my manuscript because I was having trouble with how many pages to put in a Chapter.I know it sounds goofy but I was really stressed out about it!Then I went to a book store and looked at a few comparisons.Some chapters had 2 to 5 pages, others 20 pages. They were all different!It made me feel more relaxed about mine.I like to keep it from 10 to 27 pages to be on the safe side.I added a title to each chapter so I would have a good idea of what characters were in that section.Today I started working on creating websites about my characters, plots and settings.I’m going to Google pictures and look for stuff that i’d want in my book.I really wish I was more artistic so I could draw my own stuff.It would be cool to take a road trip to Quebec and take pictures.All this copyright stuff drives me nuts.I have trouble trying to figure out what is or what is not copyrighted!I know some sites tell you not to use the material unless you ASK or receive permission to do so!I used to just copy and paste pictures and then do a write up about the artist.Then I found out that’s a no no? LOLOOOPS…I have trouble reading the fine print because it’s so small. :)I just realized on here I can set the font and size!COOL…The biggest problem I’m having with posting my novels online is the FONT size is 10.People have written complaining that it’s WAY too small to read!I agree!But I just realized it will not be a problem on here!So I think I’ll do a chapter at a time or something like that, like a weekly read. :)I’ve written over 12 novels so far, and I’ve got 4 others kicking around that haven’t been posted anywhere yet.I’m still in the process of writing them!
