Draft 3
I’ve just finished draft 3 of The
Gift. It is now 59,000 words long so a little on the short side for a novel.
While working on draft 3 I realised I wanted to hear more
from one of my subsidiary characters, Pilar.
I've portrayed her as an embittered old woman, but now feel the reader needs to know why she is this way and so I want to give her a voice. My only concern is that too many narrators may
confuse the story - at the moment I have three. I have decided to
keep draft 3 as it is and to re-work another version, which will include some
narration from Pilar. It will also
increase my word-count. So now on to
draft 4!
