Busy Holiday Schedule & Keeping Christmas Cheer At The Top Of The List

Posted by T.S.Garp


Yikes! The New Year is almost here already? The Christmas season is in the air and the shoppers are out in force. I have yet another book manuscript that's half-way done already, a second draft really on an entirely new and different theme altogether that I have been working on forever, but momentarily shelved to complete another book. Hmmmmm……So much to do as 2011 ends and 2012 is getting ready to start. As my cousin always says: “Taking it to the next level!” I wholeheartedly concur! Writing out my whole schedule will keep me on track and focus. Keep the Christmas cheer going. Forgo the rain and snow outside. Keep the winter chill away. Put another log on the fire, drink some hot flavored coffee or break out the secret scotch, and we’re good to go! - T.S.Garp

My Chapters Should Be How Long?

Posted by T.S.Garp



How long should my chapters be? As long as they need to be. Standard is about 20-40 pages, but can be as little as 3-4 pages. Chapters express key points in the plot of a story and should be as long as it takes to tell that particular idea/moment with a purpose pertaining to the overall plot of the story in your book - T.S.Garp
