| I just completed the first draft of my newest book. Now to start polishing and massaging it. So far I haven't decided on a title yet so it is being called "Book Ten". It will turn out to be another short novel in the 42,000 - 46,000 words range. My other three novels have all fallen in this range. I guess I can only think of stories that run that length. I don't like to pad them to reach an arbitrary length goal. Some ill-informed reviewers mistakenly call my short novel a novella. Here is the word count guide: Classification --- Word count Novel --- over 40,000 words Novella --- 17,500 to 40,000 words Novelette --- 7,500 to 17,500 words Short story --- under 7,500 words Not that there is anything wrong with writing novellas. Here are some of my favorite novellas: Jack London's The Call of the Wild John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men George Orwell's Animal Farm Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange Isaac Asimov's Nightfall Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Sailor Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol H. G. Wells' The Time Machine Time to get to work on the second draft of my new book. |
| For the past three years I have held the position of Editor-in-chief for 4RV Publishing. It was fun to do and quite beneficial for me as a writer since I learned a lot about what makes good writing and what to avoid in my writing. However, it was demanding of my time and kept me away from my own writing efforts. I edited other authors' work instead of creating my own works. Therefore, I resigned ten days ago to return to my own writing efforts. I have written five poems since I returned full-time to my own writing efforts. My latest poem is entitled Imploring My Poetic Muse and may be something a lot of writers can identify with.
Cheers! Harry |
