    Break the mold Christine. There are no set words, REALLY... Your book is as long as you want it to be. However long is good enough in your mind to tell your story. God Bless + take care :)

      Gabriela Bianchi Yes yes! I'm at the opposite end. My books have been on the short side. But, I feel like I've told the story and anything more would be filler.

    • @gabrielabianchi1809
      @gabrielabianchi1809 7 лет назад +2

      I'm writing a story too, but since I have to deal with memory issues, I decided not to pay attention to my word count, and just focus on the writing. I have 93 pages, and I'm happy with my progress so far.

    • @CareyHAuthor
      @CareyHAuthor 7 лет назад

      Gabriela Bianchi Keep going! That's awesome.

    • @gabrielabianchi1809
      @gabrielabianchi1809 7 лет назад

      I will, I just have to deal with memory and focus issues because of a condition I have. I try to fight through it though.

    @annajohnson2115 7 лет назад

    I always miss you announcing you're filming these by like 6 hours and it's driving me crazy! I'm going to just ask my questions now. 1. Is there a villain character in your book? Some contemporaries have them and some don't. And 2. Based off you saying the book is set in winter, is there a Christmas scene?? Also I just want to say I am so excited and happy that you are writing this book and I like that it's going to be long :)
