[stylist] Plots and subplots.

[helene ryles]

Hello Everyone,
I've been busy working on 'demon decendants. I'm now in the stage of
pruning and filling in gaps. Finishing a novel is the hardest part.
There are 30 chapters all between 2500 and 5000 in length. So quite a
long novel.

There is one main plotline and 5 subplots. I've tried to cut back on
some of the sub plots although some bits refuse to be pruned. I also
have 4 major characters (who are all disabled in some way) and about
30 minor ones.

I've put all the pruning aside. Some of it will be used in a couple of
future novels.

When I've finally got the whole thing finished I'd like to know if
anyone is interested in reading. I cut and paste for the whole group
to read or send to interested individuals. If the book was online
would it affect my chances of publishing? Or would it be better to
enclose just to whoever expressed an interest?
