Novels are basically long stories. They tend to have a lot of different plots and things all happening at once, unlike short stories. When writing a novel you have a lot of freedom to tell really BIG stories, stories that spanning worlds and centuries if you feel like it. In this Quackcast Banes chats to Tantz about the art of novel writing and what makes a novel
Tantz is a good person to talk about that with since she's published a few novels in her fantasy Art of Veiling series. And Banes is a good person to ask about it because he's interested in writing a novel of his own!
Have you ever had plans to write a novel? Do you prefer them over short stories or comics? How would YOU approach writing a novel of your own?
This week Gunwallace was overwhelmed so as another best-off special treat we have a reprise of the theme to Ginger&Shadow - Lovely string music with the competing themes representing the two cats. From Quackcast 204, 3rd of February 2015.
