???? TEFF HAS Twelve years on WDC! FORUM keeps ADC records. |
@ Onset of this sad tale of efforts gained & expectations pending ... we see a true, serious, working author open with reasons behind a novel plan, namely: word length. Dave, this is great. Maybe one of the most important notations RE: novels of any recents onsite. "Invalid Item"  is glad to host this post. And you know how we are together, we note our comments openly to each other and forum wise. So wuzat word? ah yeah r-e-b-u-t-t-l-e.From Miss TEFF -- Definition per memory lane. 55 words to moi are not short stories, nor short shorts (flash fictions.) Although 55 worder claims (here onsite) to be a story. A short story? By how many? Nah, nope, can't buy that pig in a poke. Standard info supplies that 55 words are captions, blurbs, writing exercises. Dave's wit surfaces on the WAVE from teeny caption inside a sepia photo album ... rising steadily toward big mess-around -- instead a novel from writer writing. From Stevie King, our pal, right? The leader of the pack, the first to accomplish self-publishing 101, taking that leap with Castle Rock Publishing for print novels. When King's "Silver Bullet" came out as an e-novella that particular cut-off was 66,000 wds. 1. Term 'Novella' was born. 2. Traditional short stories morphed into being under 66K wds. 3. 'Novel' redefined as over 66K words. Dave goes "No sane person writes a novel for just themselves and their close friends." CORRECT! Due 3 Es of writing (ME: authorship attempts & authorship as published author.*) Also, using the gift God gave you, the gift of gab & writing style one dabbles in with all ideas.) ENTERTAINMENT, ESCAPE, EDUCATION. RE: BEING PUBLISHED for no money 'tall --- Okay .. ? IF a member of CLUB has a short story published onsite they are a published writer. WDC is both a carrier and a portal to the I-net. A major online presence that works accurately. (Autumn theme thought for CLUB (kinda in the thinking stage is ... by definition here (onsite & online) We make our own damn exposure.) Well, congrats, published authors!* In my next reply to "Premise: Novels will just break your heart." ,\ Miss TEFFY touches on (yawsa) to-novel or not to-novel. The subject from  Mary MoffettThanx, honey chile. This is a fantastic tell-all post. Wishing you soon satisfaction again in Publishing World. |
