When he moved from book writing to playwriting, he learned that storytelling has many of the same elements regardless of the form, whether it&#39;s a musical, short fiction, or movie. Moving between different forms helped reinforce what&#39;s most essential about storytelling, such as character, conflict, and structure. One difference between writing a book versus writing a play is that there&#39;s more collaboration in playwriting. He often worked with the director, actors, and composers. It was a more creative, open process with fewer set rules or assumptions. Another difference between a book and a play is that most forms of storytelling are complete, but plays are incomplete until the audience is in the room and the performance happens.</div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-00-73/WritingPlaysvsWritingNovels.mp3">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../WritingPlaysvsWritingNovels.mp3</a></div> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, podcast</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/fiction/w/common-mistakes/3068/writing-plays-vs-writing-novels---podcast/revision/1Wed, 14 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:edd0d22e-48d4-48e7-8c7d-af2c5b58a4a6Joe Menohttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/fiction/w/common-mistakes/3068/writing-plays-vs-writing-novels---podcast#commentsRevision 1 posted to Common Mistakes by Joe Meno on 12/14/2016 12:00:00 AM<br /> <div class='asl-wikipage-body'><div class='asl-wikipage-summary'>Joe Meno, playwright and author of “Office Girl,” talks about the difference between writing plays and novels, and the relationship between the two.
