I am getting close to finishing the fourth chapter of my third short story and this is where the plot starts to get intense. In essence, a game-changing event transpires that creates conflicting opinions about Vogan and those close to him. In future chapters, the consequences and aftermath of this event will be further elaborated. Also, there will be a few hints as to what Vogan’s master plan will entail. There will be tragedy and betrayal within this chapter along with a foreshadow of the villain Vogan will become. I am looking forward to writing this short story even more and I will keep you updated.
I’m not well versed in the short story format (I end up with either a novella or novel length deal) – how many words will this short story average / how many per chapter? Did you have a ball park idea on how many words total your story would be before you started? Thanks :-).
