Having coined "noven" as the novel spoken, I am trying to find out if there is interest by others in this new form of e-publishing. Given the increasing prevalence of broadband Internet connections, podcasts, and ever decreasing time for reading, this new form of writing that marries the spoken segment, serialization, and ease of speech over mechanistic typing.
More like story-telling, or musings from an itinerant minstrel, the noven seeks to capture the age-old telling of tales with the nubile impact of the Internet and its seemingly ever-present digital devices. However, novens advance upon the main weakness of story-telling -- its incessant alterations from one speaker to another. Now the tale can be digital preserved to protect it from the memory limitations of countless renderings and forgetful artisans.
So, I am beginning this thread to see if the idea of a noven can be annealed by this forum and its participants into a more understandable form of modern writing that simply is spoken versus written.
In a subsequent post, I will list what are the 3 primary differences between a noven and a novel. This is not meant to be the complete treatise on novens, but merely the beginning of process of maturing my idea for the "novel spoken" into a more accepted form of story telling.
Thank you in advance for your comments, critiques, or suggestions. Please be civil since unsubstantiated flames simply reflect on the thrower.
