I have only ever written short stories, now I want to write a novel. A couple ideas of mine seem like they might have legs, or at least they’re things I’d personally read a book about, but I still find myself scared I’d be wasting time if I try to go the distance. Yes, I find writing as an exercise in and of itself pleasant and useful, but unfortunately I’m product-minded. I enjoy being able to hold something up at the end that can function as what I intended it to be (and not require superfluous explanation) because otherwise the worth of my time spent is completely intangible. So, what are some hallmarks of a viable premise? I’d like to be the first to get it right on the first go! 🙏 ✍️❓
