reminder that it’s okay for writers to have chapters that are ten pages long

reminder that it’s okay if your chapter is only one page long

reminder that it’s okay if your chapter is only one sentence long

as long as you can get across the point of your chapter, be it with ten thousand words, or just ten, then you do it. 

your book is yours to write. there is no set formula.

I saw somebody suggest that maybe the direction they had for Joe was scrapped when Mike Parr quit, I don’t know if there’s any truth to it or not but it would make the fairly sudden switch in how they’re presenting him (and how characters react to him) make sense, and it’d also makes sense of his fairly shite “redemption” arc and his general aimlessness now.

You know what? That makes sense to me. I kind of wondered if the Ross pretending to be Joe’s driver/bodyguard storyline was meant to go on longer than it did. It got cut short and I thought it would have been an interesting story if it continued. Maybe Ross and Joe would have become friends. Hmmmm….I guess we will never know. Now I want to know…any fanfiction writers out there…lets do this. 

BTW…Joe’s ‘redepmption’ arc was so secret I didn’t even know it happened. lol
