Hello, Mr. Cornwell, I have an odd question. Probably the Engineer in me. I am starting to write my first book. My first chapter fit on one page. Realizing this would be a 10 page book, I went back to square one and expanded the first chapter to 30 pages. I was curious, on a average, how many words do you write a day? I have had to develop a scene in my mind, develop the dialog, and then write. I keep Sharpe’s rifles by my computer. It helps to read a few pages to get me going. My wife likes my book so far but wonders if their would be an audience for it. I tell her, “Who thought their would be an audience for a British soldier in the 19th century.” Anyway keep the books coming.
