Wonderwoman

I am Wonder Woman. I finished another chapter today. It's the shortest one. They've been getting shorter. My longest chapter is 30 + pages (in the very first draft it was at 40 pages). The problem with that chapter was that I was writing from the point when one of my characters was a few weeks old until the time of their death. I'm gonna shorten it some more so that it only focuses on the short period of time before his and his brother's deaths. I think this will also make the characters more engaging (can't think of a better word).

But I think why my chapters feel so shorter now (i.e. 6 - 13 pages) is that I need to do research, so I'm leaving things out. The chapter I just finished was supposed to have a conversation about souls. It does have one, but it doesn't feel convincing. I want to read up on people's different views about souls. The chapter before that dealt with rehab.

But of course you're not supposed to look at page number, only word count.

Anyways, signing off.

Randomness: My nephew (7 years old) sees a copy of Dead Until Dark on my bed (I've never finished reading it but was using it to cover my drink). His response:

"Oh my God. Another vampire book?"
