Question by shifterred: “Autobiographical fiction?” Does it work?
I have in the planning stages a series of books, the life story of a thief in pre-Victorian period. I worry that there is no defined “plot”, persay. Its merely the story of this man’s life, with all of its impossibilities and trials from birth to death.
Is it possible that such a story would appeal to a reader? Does it need a defined goal to be reader worthy?
Thank you!
