๐ Made the "mistake" of going for a pace-and-think while everyone's getting ready for the 5pm Colombia-Panamรก quarter-final for Copa Amรฉrica, so now I'm pre-writing this novelette in the best of happy, boisterous company out in public, with TVs everywhere rarin' to go. #AGoodDay ๐จ๐ด ๐ต๐ฆ #SportsBall
Ellison's a funny sod. ๐ Famous novellas include: Animal Farm, Of Mice and Men, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Old Man and the Sea, A Christmas Carol, Siddhartha, Heart of Darkness, The Time Machine...
And I'm pretty sure The Death of Ivan Ilyich is technically a novelette!
But it's true that this "novel in scanties" category was mainly created for awards circuits. Still, it's not the size of the tome that counts, so much as what the author does with each word!
๐ fun times!! @MLClark
I was wondering if you were going to mention the game, @MLClark ๐ค I'll be rooting for Columbia.
If you were going to come into my thread and root for Panamรก instead, there would be WORDS, sir! WORDS! The scariest thing a writer can fling at another writer! ๐
Nah, Panama beat my hapless USMNT, so I got no love for them, @MLClark ๐
No word flinging required! ๐
๐ I'm very fortunate because Canada somehow managed to win yesterday, too, so I'm covered for now on two sides.
Sorry about your USMNT! ๐ฌ
Eh, no biggie, @MLClark. They're a hot mess.
Ain't we all, Rootrot. Ain't we all. ๐
Hell, I'm even rooting for the Canucks, @MLClark! ๐จ๐ฆ
@MLClark I think Ellison called a novella โa novel wearing laceโ, is a novelette a novel in a thong? Other?
