Premium Content (Yearly): Draft NN4 – Chapter 21

~ Hadena James

Also, I want to highlight something weird that I’ve been doing the last couple of books. My chapters have gotten longer. Before 2020, I did a good job of consistently averaging 2,000 words per chapter. However, Dysfunctional Dreams, Buried Dreams, and this book average 3,000 words per chapter. It isn’t a huge deal except it shortens the number of chapters shown in the TOC and a few people have asked if my books are getting shorter because they don’t have as many chapters. My books aren’t getting shorter, they are actually getting longer – this draft was 100,456 words when I gave up on it. The replacement also has fewer chapters with just 26 chapters and 90,000 words.

I have been writing novels and short stories since I was 8 years old. I have no specific genre that I prefer to write in because I enjoy the challenge of trying to write outside my comfort zone. I run my own business to allow me time to write. I enjoy playing darts, traveling, reading anything I can get my hands on. While writing may be my first passion, history is my second. I hold a degree in History from the University of Missouri and pursue it in my free time.
