My Adventures (temp title) Questions Part 2

Are there any events in My Adventures that you’re excited about?

The major thing I’m excited about is the final confrontation, that’s the really big thing I’m looking forward to, and a few other major reveals. Pretty much anything that’s like, the plot twists, that’s what I’m most looking forward to, the things that are like, some people might have guessed it already, but other people will be like "Gasp! Really? Oh my word, I am completely dumbfounded!" And obviously, I will love really getting the characters properly developed.

When are you planning on writing My Adventures?

My Adventures is going to be the first thing I write. It is right at the top of the list. Pretty much the moment I finish school, I hope to get started writing it. But it is right at the top of my list. It is going to be the first thing I write because I have the most things planned for it, I have most of the story written, OK? Not written, but most of the story come up with. I have most of the ideas, so I think it will be ready soon.

How long would you want My Adventures to be? (Specify the number of pages, chapters and books.)

Well My Adventures itself, divided into seven novels. Each novel, I’m hoping to have the first one to be in 300 pages, with each one getting steadily longer. If I do the first one right, I hope to have 333 pages, exactly. I hope to be able to do that.

(And why is that?)

It’s so that I can have each part 111 pages. Because in each novel, the structure of the story is going to be divided into three parts, and hopefully I will have all the parts around the same size; they probably won’t be, because the second parts are probably all going to be shorter, because the second parts are going to be from the antagonist’s point of view, so they’ll all probably be a bit shorter. But I hope to have the first and third parts around the same length, but I want to start at 300 pages, because I think most novels start at that. If I can’t do that, then I’ll go shorter, but I hope not to have less than 200 pages for the first novel, and then try and get 50 to 100 more pages for the next one on. So each book gets a bit longer until the last one is the longest of all. And the reason for that is that the further I get on the story, the more I’ll be able to write for it, and the more I’ll be able to say for it. And obviously there’ll be a lot more things involved, a lot more plot development and such, but most of all, I really do hope that it will be long enough that I’ll be able to be happy with it.

As for chapters, I’m hoping that each part will have at least ten chapters. This is one of the few novels where I will say I definitely want to have a chapter number, and hopefully each chapter cannot be numbered, but be named, and each have a unique name, I hope. But who knows? It’s not really up to me for chapter numbers, that’s up to the publishers.
