When world building for example, it makes sense to utilise the format for other books in a series. Presuming that one may have spent years inventing it all. If the world that you have built is credible and interesting then I do not see the problem with using multiple times. So to recap reusing the format is fine as long as they stories are different.

LOTR, The Hobbit and Harry Potter are all extremely succesful examples. I see why people do not like them but the commercial oppurtunity they offer is huge.

I am working on using the above models but with a range of different books aimed at children, teenage, romance, mythical etc. I am not painting any red lines as that will constrict me. If some are novellas, shorts or novels. They will be what they will be.

The most important thing is the story itself is told well and is not destroyed by the process of writing, pandering to peoples whims or any number of other things.

I would say go for it Milestro. Just be mindful not to paint yourself into a corner and just let the creativity flow. Even if the work is a master peice it will need an awful lot of work and a fair wind to gain commercial success.

I personally try and make mine an artistic success and if the money comes rolling in thats fine.

Thank you. I will work on whatever feels right for me.

Drudge Work

In a city full of unstable magic, bad ideas can lead to great rewards, and the senior students at the Academy of Mages have the worst ideas of all. Merrick Fitzroy, undoubtedly the heaviest mage who ever lived, thinks his particularly bad idea might just change the world and make him rich, provided he doesn’t melt his own face off in the process. Dogged at every turn by guild enforcers, unwelcome guests, and some hideous, unreasonable creature bent on his demise, Merrick plods along the razor’s edge between glory and disaster. Science and sorcery collide in an irreverent fantasy romp that asks all the important questions like, “Who the hell set the school on fire?”

Drudge Work, a fantasy novel written by bossfearless.
