Writing the Novella Quotes

“We live our lives without really asking ourselves what matters to us and why. Fortunately, writing—and reading—fiction allows us access to our deepest dilemmas.”
― Sharon Oard Warner, Writing the Novella

“Let’s take, as an arbitrary measure, something that is between twenty and forty thousand words, long enough for a reader to inhabit a world or a consciousness and be kept there, short enough to be read in a sitting or two and for the whole structure to be held in mind at first encounter—the architecture of the novella is one of its immediate pleasures.”
― Sharon Oard Warner, Writing the Novella
