#WritersCoffeeClub 14/3: Do you think readers want new experiences in structure or narrative, or do they prefer what's familiar?
Well, ‘new experiences in structure or narrative’ sounds like the sort of experimental writing that turns most readers off. Star Trek might seek out new life and new civilisations, but it tells the stories of those encounters in highly traditional ways. Storytelling is as old as humanity, and is a big part of what makes us human.
