It was that long? My second book is 130k and 460 pages long, yours is 40k longer but thirty pages shorter. I guess that’s the formatting difference!

I had no idea about the 12pt, double space formatting thing. But I looked it up and one is supposed to have 12pt size, indented paragraphs, Times New Roman, Double Space, and no  extra space between paragraphs (just one enter after each). I had none of that before, so the amount of pages in TTD is small.

How many books are you planning for that series?

Probably 5.

I don’t have the attention span for anything longer XD

Yeah, I actually really enjoy long books. Epicness and all of that. xD

Oddly enough, with my second book, I discovered that I had a weak spot in the same place as TTD, the area just before the midpoint. I guess that’s a hard part to write or maybe that’s the point I get impatient with books, it could be either.

I seriously doubt it was from too many crazy fight sequences though. xD

As for the former, it may be a stylistic choice, but I’d break it off at “If the Baptist trusted Annan, then perhaps she had misjudged him.” and make the rest a seperate paragraph.

Okay, so no reverse order at least. The reason I liked to use either one of those was because introspection can take the place of a dialogue tag, which is always a beneficial thing to do. But I see your point.

I’m pretty sure that’s correct, though that would change if you had an action instead of a dialogue tag.

So you’re saying I was wrong about being wrong? If so, that’s great, because I used that one all the time.

You wouldn’t put an em-dash there “You only use an em-dash when–” she paused to push the cat off the table, “–you’re interrupting a sentence with an action.”

Alright, thanks for the info!
