How do you decide where to define chapters? I’m reviewing my book and it sometimes feels like the chapter could be split, but I don’t want them too short.

Each #TraceOfLight is a brief glimpse into an untold story. Watch as #LightTracersArchive uncovers the tale within.

As I finish one draft and let it breath, I’m entering the planning phase for my next project.

This got me wondering. What are everyone’s techniques for plotting (or not plotting) a novel?

My own thoughts in thread

A Thief Scorned is a fantasy heist novel about a thief trying to steal a fortune from the dangerous criminal in the city - and maybe stop a bloody coup while he is at it.

A witch + a dystopian society + a family curse + ambition = THE TIME OF THE WICKED

Ancient Ones + Whisperers + Man Eaters + Uniques = A Hidden World

THE TIME OF THE WICKED is the 1st book of THE WITCH OF THE SANKUL WOODS series.

The land is overrun by undead, ruled by the Necromancer King. People are broken, hope is lost.

Bolan is bent on revenge, willing to do whatever it takes to kill the Necromancer.

Some call him Deathsbane, a hero in the dark. But he knows the truth.

Can evil destroy evil?

I just finally finished v3 of my necromancer revenge story. Feels great and it’s such a relief to be over that hurdle. I’m looking forward to reading with a reader’s perspective now and, as long as there are no glaring issues, sharing it!
