Snowflake, Chapter 3

I want to give special thanks to everyone who follows my blog, leaves comments and answers my seemingly unrelated questions. I promise that all the posts on this blog are related to various topics raised in the novel and I hope that one day I’ll be able to write your names in the acknowledgements section on the first pages of the Snowflake. As for now, I’d like to give you Chapter 3.

    I liked this chapter. I’ve got a few ideas about what’s going to happen next, but I’ll keep them to myself for the time being.

    It’s a good idea not to give too much away and keep that suspense going, otherwise it would be like watching footy when you already know the score.

    Nice chapter and nice beginning to the book. Personally, I might have changed a few things. Or maybe not. I still don’t know how the story is going to pan out. One piece of advice: if you have a good solid plan for your book and you know chapter by chapter what’s going to happen next, you should look for a literary agent to represent you. Getting a book published is often harder than writing it. So, the earlier you start the process, the easier it will get when you actually finish the manuscript.

    I have to disagree with Patricia. I don’t think you should be looking for an agent until your book is finished and free of errors. Then you’ll be able to see if your overall plot makes sense. I for one still can’t figure out what Snowflake is about. Also, I would make the episode when Sally finds out about Leo cheating on her much more emotional. And I’d include contents of the actual emails so the reader can understand better how she’s feeling.

    I don’t think you should change anything. And you shouldn’t try to please every one of us. You’re not writing a collective book, you’re writing your own and it’s turning out really good. If there’re any mistakes or inconsistencies you can easily fix them later during revision. If your book becomes successful it will be your success and you shouldn’t share it with anyone.

    I agree. A book is only interesting if you see author’s unique style in it. Having read first three chapters of the Snowflake, I can feel the style Ana is writing in and I find it suits my taste. Don’t change it. Stay true to yourself.

    I’ve been following this blog for a while but it’s a first time I’m leaving a comment. I prefer to read, not to write. What I read so far makes me want to read more. Keep doing what you’re doing.

    The Clarke’s family is very nice and I pray that Leo destroyed nothing.
