Another fantastic episode. So glad you're back to share your insights into writing and life in general, and with humour too! Great answer to Lauren's question! The novel I'm working on has 14 interlude short stories of sorts, as a way to show the repercussions of a global event... globally. I'm starting go think I'm doing too much though, the book's getting a little long (onto 90k so far but no where near done). Not a question for a whole episode but would your advice be to try and cut down the interludes, or maybe make them a separate book of short stories, or just persevere for now until I have a view of the whole novel? Think I've answered my own question there actually with option number 3 but yeah your thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for answering my question! There were some really useful tips, especially about having too many characters that are alike. I realised that blending sone together or cutting others out may be something I need to do. Thanks again!!!
