Title: Titanic: James Smith's Story
Post by: RMS Canada on September 26, 2008, 17:00:21
Here's Titanic: James Smith's Story for the folks on the fourm who wanted to see it...

A sequel is coming soon, Lusitania: Victim of War.  Information about it can be found here http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,10537.0.html

Young "Captain" James Smith, Victoria, and other related characters belongs to me (c), do not use without permission.

Not bad at all!  :D

But you're better off calling it a 'Short Story', since a novel has a much much higher word count. Even a novella, the "short novel", is estimated around 17.500 to 40.000 words. So yours would be more like a short story, I guess. If you got a bunch of them (You said you were working on another) you can bound them together as a "Collection of Short Stories".

Sometime, I might work on this, adding a couple more scenes.  And this is not the whole book, I only did the story part.  As for Lusitania: Victim of War I have to wait till my new computer gets Word installed on it.

Afraid so.  As I said before, the high school in which I go to uses Word 2007.  Do you think I should have made it compatical with Word 2003?
