I'm thinking, maybe the story about the treasures should be finished in chapter 100? Or continue to write more? In principle, this topic is huge. Since treasures have been looking for a lot of them since the beginning of the centuries, and so everyone can't find it.
Under the treasure may not necessarily be - jewelry. it can be rare coins and coins made of precious metals. Manuscripts, old books and topographic maps of the 17-19th centuries and maybe the beginning of the 30-40s of the 20th century.
Stamps, stamps, calendars, badges, pens, matching boxes, glass bottles, porcelain, cupronickel, silver dishes and forks and knives, cutlery.
Medals and old bicycles, cars, watches, motorcycles. Old fishing rods inside which may contain memoirs or old maps with places where treasures were hidden.
Old cold weapons and noble hunting rifles, pistols. Guns on a gun carriage.
Leather boots with hallmarks of manufacturers of the 19th century. 15th century bricks and 19th century bricks with hallmarks.
Cufflinks and prints. Latch for ties.
A diverse list of treasures.
So are the places of their storage, where they were often hidden, and where completely unexpectedly.
Many treasures still lie, somewhere near you, in your cities. This may be the basements of old buildings with a double bottom, so to speak. These can be ravines and floodplains of rivers. It can be elementary old city gardens.
The legislative base is always closely connected with treasures, each treasure has its own law, in different countries and different laws. In some you can use metal detectors and in some you can't. Taxes and treasures. Paid and walk boldly, have a license, do treasure hunting.
In some countries, you can not use copters and other remote gadgets, sometimes in the city you can not photograph and for this you need to get a special permission. It is issued for six months, sometimes for a month and costs money.
Before starting treasure hunting, you should always check the laws governing this activity. Have a lawyer who understands these subtleties.
These are subtleties in this matter.
A whole science will buy the right one for money, a metal detector, other gadgets for it, a coil, a search magnet, they are different for 100 kg and 700 kg, everywhere their subtleties and tricks.
In principle, this topic is endless! But to the author it seems that this novel, and the theme should have its own borders, maybe 100 chapters is enough for this novel? Or is it still not?
The author would like to start a new novel with a working title "Gourmet". also for 100 chapters. But while 5 other novels hang, starting a new one is not very cool.
Finish one novel, start a second. I recently read on a site for writers that small novels should have no more than 45 - 80 thousand words. Maybe this is the logic?
The ability to complete the novel on the most interesting in order to force the reader to speculate and what could be further? Than to endlessly stretch the same plot, turning it into the story "Journey to the West", where the main characters come across a variety of spirits, after the 100th chapter ... it starts to bother. Since the story is boring. Although of course this is a classic!
So far, I'm thinking, 3 chapters of 69 have been written to me, do I need to write another 31 chapters and maybe the first season of the novel will end on this?
Somehow, the author's thoughts out loud!
