Chan : Alphabetize Me!

[Chanthar]

Yay!
The last books arrived in the mail
As usual there are small things that didn't go well, but all in all it's good enough not to mess with ... just another thing to watch out for next time heh
So
Persona of Persuasion is published, which means the mini-collection This Isn't Home is published
Seeds of Blood is published, which means the collection Drag Shergi Mysteries is published
My third series is officially complete

Wow, three series completed? That is a major accomplishment! Well done!

 

[Chanthar]

Heh thanks ^^;
Oh... =o
Some of my single books might end up as series/trilogies .. Dx I don't want it to happen, but there are too many things to go over to fit it all into a single 700 page book

Despite explosions all around .. I got some more pages down =3 and I did a little restructuring to thread in more character interractions for the supporting cast .. hehe .. xD; I think this will definitely be towards romance category, no matter what else happens

Downpours are no fun .. not for book signings D=
But meh, I survived it coupled with work -yawns- moving along at a snail's pace with the writing though..
I hate publisher's restrictions Dx I can't go over about 500 pages to fit all of this into one standard sized book ..
 

[DesertRoseFallen]

Wow not over 500 pages?!

 

[Chanthar]

Yeah that's with the standard 8.5x11 page size with Times New Roman size 12 font ..
I can't go over 500 pages, cause there has to be room left for the title pages, copyright/ISBN, chapter index at least in the front. I have to leave room for the chapter breaks as well. I haven't even thought about leaving space for illustrations yet. Dx I might not have room.
When it is finished it will be sylfean 9.5 pt font (which is pretty tiny) and close to 700 pages (I just might be able to squeak in for qualifying for a hardcover, but it might be too long and only be available in softcover)

Oh oh, though I stayed up until about 4am last night fighting to finish off the first third .. I did =3 if I stay at 165 pages per third, I'll just hit 495 pages total ... I don't want them to be uneven in length because I'm dealing with two cities then the two people in the romance ... It's getting more and more complex though because of the different places there are, and couples ... @.o

I have to run to work now -splat- going to be so exhausted ..
