Small is Good

So you want to write a novel or full-length play. I can recommend How To Write a Damn Good Novel by James Frey. Full of practical tips. But don't neglect writing something small. There are play competitions for very short plays and short stories are in demand from many publishers.

It may not take nearly as long to write something small but the challenge to create something good is still there. So give short plays and stories a go.

I call very short plays Pennyweight Plays and have published four volumes at foxplays.com. Read some of my samples, see the formula and consider giving them a go. I'm happy to advise if you want another opinion of your work.
