Readers

I have just published Chapter 4 of Hb and I am looking to push it out to a wider readership. I found a site that list online novels but the email I sent got an instant bounce back so it might be a dead site

I will keep searching but if anyone reads this and knows of such a thing please comment here.

Cheers

Chapter length

I have now published Chapter 3 of Hb

When writing I have always worried that the chapters I construct are too short, but then again whoever said a chapter should be a particular length?

The first few chapters of Hb are short but as they are doing the character introductions and setting up some of the themes I guess this is okay. I have notes for another three chapters that are much longer.

It may just be a case of me getting into the way of writing and becoming comfortable with the process and after all that is what the Hb project is designed to do.

Hb Chapter 2

Chapter 2 of Hb is online.

Language

In the first chapter of my online novel Hb I have use some words from the Scots Language this link will provide you with an explanation of the language and the dialects within the language as well as a history.

Why did I use it? To some extent because I speak it, maybe not the form that was used as I am from the east coast of Scotland and the scene presented takes place in the west of Scotland, where I now live.

When I construct characters in my head I usually hear them talking first before I know anything else about them. The language the character uses be it Standard English, Scots, American English, Slang and to what extent and in what situations and company the character Code Switches all helps me to build the character more fully.
