Can a novel be written using such a matrix? Most certainly. Can a good novel be written using a matrix? Probably. What Scarlett Thomas has done in Monkeys With Typewriters is provide the reader with the building blocks of writing successfully. The rest is down to the skill and imagination of the writer. Create a solid structure, plot correctly using the laws of cause and effect, tell the story by the actions of characters and write clear, honest sentences and you've got half a chance.
If this book appeals then you might like to try [[The Art of Fiction by David Lodge]]. We've also recently enjoyed [[Write. by Phil Daoust (editor)]].
