No one says a novel has to be one thing. It can be anything it wants to be, a vaudeville show, the six o’clock news, the mumblings of wild men saddled by demons.

Long lost or finished adventures full of joy and sadness. Tears were shed and laughters warmed the hearth of the heros. Written memories of good and bad times, preserved for eternity and beyond.

You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Write the kind of story you would like to read.
