Typically if your novel is only 50k words, you are focusing on just one story line.Jeff Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308834117176284991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-11403278540444007052011-03-02T20:35:27.017-07:002011-03-02T20:35:27.017-07:00It's me, the questioner.

I write here and there, have lots of novel ideas. Even some starts of novels. I just am struggling with getting the WIP in the right spot. <br /><br />I started this one with writing out different parts of the novel. I had the beginning, the middle, and the end. Now I have to fill in. But when filling it in, I just can't find enough plot line. But, I felt the same way when I was at 17,000 words and look how far I've come. I'm sure that's why you don't send in the first draft. You may find better/more plotlines when you go back and re-read and do another draft.<br /><br />Writing isn't my top priority right now in life though, so I'm sure as I work at it more and more I will just get better and better. :)Menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-76797754552041074782011-03-02T14:34:41.321-07:002011-03-02T14:34:41.321-07:00At 50,000 words, you might be able to fit into cat...At 50,000 words, you might be able to fit into category romance (like Harlequin, etc.). You have to look at the submission guidelines carefully to find the right line for your work (including "heat level" and length). Like in LDS publishing, you don't necessarily need an agent to get into category romances.Jordan McCollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523599384793856702noreply@blogger.com
