So, I am toying with writing a book (a short novel), and one of the possible aspects might be that it's a story with only a single character.

But ... can that be done well? Does it require a huge amount of experience and talent beforehand? Would it be a dreadfully boring tale?

I don't know. But I'm afraid it might.

Should I try anyway?

Or must it include other characters? (And if so, must they be human characters?)

...

Well, I suppose it's my book. I'll just do what feels fun to write.

I say you go for it. You won't know if it works until you give it a try. -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 24, 05:35
It can be done, but it's tricky. We actually talked about this last week in class. - ceregon Jun 24, 05:01
Take a 1st draft, anything/just get it out approach. The Martian is mostly a 1 character story...it depends on the dilemma you give your 1 character - Flavorize Jun 24, 03:15
