I’m looking for someone feedback about a book concept I have just had.
It is reasonable advice to try and avoid long tracts of description, explanation and exposition in works of creative fiction. They break the flow and can smother the action entirely.
However, It can be impractical to spoon feed all of the this support material in between the exciting stuff. Then a lot of it ends up ’on the cutting room floor’. I find this a shame. I find some of my background material is exciting in its own right.
I have decided to try out an alternative approach. My book ’Hyper-physics’ is intended to be a stand alone ’Textbook’ that contains all the material that is too cumbersome for the novels I am writing.
What do you think?
Is this a workable option or are you an advocate of ’If it ain’t story it don’t get printed!’?
