Chapter Four Part 1


I've just posted the first draft of chapter 4 (part 1). This chapter is designed to bridge the action between the oppening section of the book and the middle part where the main action will take place. The first three chapters happen within a 24 hour time frame, but this chapter will span a period of several weeks. This makes it a bit different, but I need a link like this if I'm going to get a sense of passing time...
I've also decided to break down the chapters into smaller chunks. I've noticed that other Wattpadders have done this and I can see the advantages. In particular, it keeps the time gap between posts down and means that you have more chances of engaging with readers... It would be interesting to see if this works. I don't think it will make much difference to the reading experience, and I can edit the whole thing in my own way later...
I've also decided to add something about writting status in the title. Again, I've seen other people do this and I wonder if it helps readers? I may try something similar next time I post....
