I think I will attempt to make them longer, but who knows what the outcome will be.Joanne Brothwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277805693436251841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717817733001383313.post-90413375976085260052012-03-26T10:45:26.888-04:002012-03-26T10:45:26.888-04:00I'm with Amber: A reader should know from the ...I'm with Amber: A reader should know from the word count or page number or the description NOVELLA that it's going to be a short story when they start reading. There are different kinds of stories written for different kind of readers. Some readers prefer the long, detailed stuff, some like short and quick just-give-me-a-fun-plot, and some like both depending on their mood.<br /><br />I read the reviews for my YA story and it seems when one person says the story was too long, the next person will say it was too short, then it's too long, then too short. It just goes back and forth between each reviewer with no consistency whatsoever. <br /><br />So I say write what you love to read & what you love to write. Sometimes, the wrong reader looking for a different kind of story will find you, and hopefully sometimes the reader looking for exactly your kind of story will find you. It's all a game of chance.Miranda Stowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223576713894825069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717817733001383313.post-18877744208531990832012-03-26T10:24:42.574-04:002012-03-26T10:24:42.574-04:00This is so irritating to say the least. The review...This is so irritating to say the least. The reviewers KNOW they're reading a novella. What do they expect? I especially hate when they say that about a quickie. Hello...do you understand the meaning of quickie????? UGH. It frustrates me to no end. <br />Like you I prefer a shorter read because I don't have the time to read long. I'm looking for quick satisfaction. LOL<br />Though if that's all they can complain about you're doing good. :o)<br />hugs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244564493291133822noreply@blogger.com
