Character and Plot Realism Q&A What kind of shoes do mailmen wear? What eye affliction could completely erase my character's short-term memory, then kill her in a dramatic fashion 15,000 words later?

Rules, Regulations, and Other Minutiae Do interrelated short stories constitute a novel? If my main character is just me with a different name, does that count as fiction? How can I claim to have written a novel in a month if I hit 50,000 words and am only halfway through? Shouldn't this be called National Novella Writing Month? And why is it called "national" if people are doing this all over the world? The place where the detail-oriented gather to ponder the fine print. Moderator cybele |
