Hey all, I been busy working on the second draft of my Work in Progress - Historical Mystery novel, which I been thinking of calling 12:05 AM. I have made a few changes between the first and second draft of the novel.
These changes I find help the flow of the plot and overall feel of the story.
The biggest change I made was that the setting of the book will not be in 1970, I switched it to 1950 as most of the characters in the story were born in and around 1920, this change made sense. This also makes sense to the switch of timelines between 1920 and 1950.
The second change I made was character names. I changed some of the characters names to fit the 1920s. As to what babies would have been named during that time frame.
Structure. I changed the structure a bit, and moved around some scenes that I thought should be earlier or later. I also added in things, and deleted others. In the end it will fit in and flow with the over all plot.
Most of the POV is written in the main characters perspective. With Flashbacks written in other characters POV and the last few chapters shifting to another characters POV for a short while.
I'm about to start Chapter Five of Eighteen in the second draft. That was the other change I made, I combined some chapters and moved from 20 chapters to 18. I'm standing currently at 21k words.
Next week I plan on running a free promotion for Dark Jealousy, while promoting Guilty Deceptions a lot. I plan on posting more to my Social Medias, and working on my novel of course. It's going to be a busy week, but I hope to have the second draft finished before the end of July.
Speaking of the end of July, don't forget my special Author Question and Answers I have scheduled for the end of the month. If not many sign up I'm going to have to cancel it, so if you haven't yet please express your interest.
That's all for today, until next time,
D.C.
