| Re: Writing SF/F short stories - useful for novelists?
Who was drawing a comparison between subplots and discrete short stories? Not I, as you would realise if you took the trouble to read my posts.
At no point have I said that writing a novel is equivalent to bolting or weaving together short stories. That has been the opposite of what I was saying.
But thinking in short story terms can show some writers a way into a longer work. A starting point. If you don't agree with that, then you should just respect that other people have different ways of working.
Now I will return to lying "on my couch".
Good luck with your marathon... |
