QUALITY not Quantity


This is a problem many writers make. They think, "when my book is made finally, I want it to be a novel not a novella." So they start adding useless, pointless information to the book, babbling on, just to make it longer. But really, whether it is a novella or a novel DOES NOT matter!

Your book could be shorter than the length of your thumbnail and it could definitely be better than a book as wide as the length of your finger! It's what is inside that counts. Just like a person. It doesn't matter that they look spectacular, with fine hair, crystal blue eyes, or that they appear in control and perfectly successful and happy with everything they do. Their personality is the core of them. What's inside defines who they are. So, having said that, your book could be the best looking book ever seen, but if it's written terribly, with little stability in the plot and characters, it will never be the best. 

Good written books, that go far, take time and patience to make. Just thought I would add this to the list of advice! :) I really hope it has helped.
