Wise Words

"Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot." - Morpheus, The Sandman - Dream Country (Neil Gaiman)

"A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensly right words in a book or a newspaper the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt." - Mark Twain

"At the beginning there was the Word - at the end just the Cliche." - Stanislaw J Lec

On the subject of novellas

November 12, 2009

By alan

By the way, talking of novellas (as I have been fairly extensively recently) I should probably take the opportunity to pimp my own work! Don’t forget that you can download the ebook of my novella Ghost Of The Black: A ‘Verse Full Of Scum for free from Smashwords. And therein lies another great opportunity for authors getting their novellas out there. Ebooks are definitely going to enable more writers to get novellas published or allow writers to publish their own novellas and get them read.

Vive la novella!

OK, I’m done. For now.
