Mystery Novella
I’ve been working on a mystery novella for a couple of months with a great group of gals from my critique group. When this opportunity came about I dropped my current WIPs and jumped at the chance. In fact, it was something I’d been praying specifically for (among other things.)
I’m not a huge fan of reading novellas mainly because they seem to be all romance and the stories don’t go deep enough for me, but a mystery novella was something I was interested in. A part of me felt like maybe I’d be selling out to write this smaller novel, but the other part of me was open to the fact that maybe this was God’s plan for my crazy life right now. Maybe He knew I could only handle 20,000 words at this time in my life. Maybe it’s the perfect way to help me grow as a writer and “cut my teeth” so to speak.
The word that kept coming to me was “don’t despise the little things.”
So I’m at 10,000 words and plan to write the other 10,000 this weekend when I lock myself away in a hotel. If you want a sneak peek as to what I’ll be working on, keep reading.
