Writing Novel's

So, lately I have been writing quite a few books. Two novels and one Novelette.

There are five main book sizes.

• Micro Fiction - under 100 words
• Flash Fiction - between 100 and 1,000 words
• Short Story - between 1,000 and 7,500 words
• Novelette - between 1,000 and 20,000 words
• Novella - between 20,000 and 50,000 words
• Novel - between 50,000 and 110,000 words
• Epic - 110,000 plus

All publishers look for the number of words, not pages in a book. The average book is between 65,000 and 100,000 wor

ds.

Anyway back to my books. My two novels are

both in the same series, Traders of the Snowy Peaks. The first one was the first book I ever completed - Moon City - it took me rougly six months to write, edit and proof read it but a few weeks ago I held the first copy in my hands. In the time I was getting my parents to proof read it I was writing the next one - Outlawed - I finished this one lately but haven't got round to editing. At the moment I'm writing the next and second to last in the series Twisted Dreams. I have just reached the 10,000 word milestone so that's pretty good

The cover of my first book is brilliant and I would like to thank Fena Lee for making it, she has amazing skill and has made the other two covers and will hopefully make the last! I'm not sure how long it's going to be but I estimate about 30,000 although the way the plot is going it could take a lot longer!

I'm also planning a series of five books which I am doing carefully and slowly but haven't even started writing. I'm not sure the series is going to be called but I know the names of the books will be - Mage, Stone, Spell, Divide and Quest - I am just finishing a few details and I should be able to start writing.
