Writing Developments

Again more of an update than anything else.
I have formatted all my chapters for editing and reviewing purposes (double-spacing) which I found last night on the train ride home immensley useful for writing whole sentences within a chapter as well as rewording sections. It makes printing a little more expensive, but seeing as its done at work, no apparent harm done.

I have also been doing some research in my writing and been reading about the Spanish Galleons and the Hollywood myth and legend surrounding the vessel, and it also makes the English defeat of the Spanish Armada not quite so impressive.

I have also been toying with an introduction to the book, as well as some appendices to help readers who dont want to get bogged down in explanation. Im also wanting a foreword to be written to, but Ive got to finish the first draft yet before that can even happen.

I went back and had a quick read of my first chapter, and enjoyed reading it again, wanting to make sure the tone of the novel carries on throughout the entire piece.

Anyway, Im approaching the mythical 400,000 words target, as I have written 68,000 words in only 5 chapters, and there are 26+ to go.
