A novel is a story ...Yes, you are writing a novel!<br /><br />A novel is a story of a particular length and structure. What you describe as 'meaningful novels' is really a genre: the literary genre.<br /><br />But you prefer to write sci-fi novels. Heck, I write paranormal novels, and others write westerns or romance novels.<br /><br />All of those are novels. And yours sounds a lot more interesting than the average literary novel. But then I like nice spaceships and the odd time travel device, too. :)<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03976023683707524648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032939376659177890.post-46920761510705813882016-05-04T13:07:14.072-07:002016-05-04T13:07:14.072-07:00Your book sounds fun!
