“Unlocking the Silent Mystery: What Are We Overlooking That Could Change Everything?”
Every Novel Has a “What If?” Question
This matters for novelists because at the heart of every novel is a question. A “what if?” question.
Most novels use a familiar “what if?” question that has been asked and answered many times before.
But the really ground-breaking novels ask a “what if?” question that is new.
It’s easy to ask a familiar “what if?” question. When you do, you get a familiar novel.
It’s also easy to ask an utterly unfamiliar “what if?” question that is too weird for words. When you do, you get a novel nobody wants to read.
