Why Did I Write This Lens?
I saw the following question on a forum today:
To which another poster responded by asking:
To which I responded by saying:
And thus came the idea for me to creat this lens.
I'm writing a 30 page Sci-fi book for school and I need some ideas!
To which another poster responded by asking:
A 30 page book? Is it a children's story? I don't know if I have ever seen a book that short that was not for little kids or did not have the word "comic" in front of it.
To which I responded by saying:
Actually chapbooks are in the 20 - 75 page range, these are usually novelettes, too long to be a short story, not long enough to be a novella, which is a short novel. They used to be quite popular in the 50's, 60s, and 70s, esp with sci-fi stories, but there is a trend in longer books these days.
Check out the Retief series by Keith Laumer (I provide links to info on both the author and the series), most of his sci-fi stories were in the 25-50 page range.
And thus came the idea for me to creat this lens.
