In a novella, a whole lot of crap can happen, and you can build momentum and suspense and leave room for a surprise or three.

Hence my love for the middle way.

It just doesn't inspire the same warm and fuzzy feelings." - The Indigo Spell

Richelle Mead

So it’s not being black; it’s a way of life. Unfortunately, the way of life is being celebrated not only in rap music, but among the intelligentsia, is a way of life that leads to a lot of very big problems for most people.

Robert Greene

Movie theaters barely make any money. A movie can make a couple of thousand dollars, or could get lucky and make ten or fifteen thousand dollars, but theatrical releases don't really sustain the work. For me, it's the best sort of advertisement for anything else you'd want to do.
