The Wrong Brother – A Regency Novella
When I set out to writing a novella, I wasn’t sure I could do it. Fitting a whole story onto meager 30,000 words? That seemed impossible.
However, sometimes stories are not meant to be stretched to fit the regular length of a novel. ‘The Wrong Brother’ struck me as one such story, and so I decided to give it a shot.
Although my own insecurities and doubts would probably have stopped me at some point while writing the first draft, my wonderful readers kept me going.
As mentioned in my last post, I posted my chapters online available to all those on my mailing list, and to my great delight, I received wonderful feedback. Not only were some of those pesky errors spotted that authors are prone to overlook, but inspirational suggestions and honest critique turned the story into something worth reading.
Thank you so much for joining me on this exciting, while slightly terrifying journey! I had a wonderful time, and I am actually looking forward to writing the next novella!
