Day 1
You can't please everyone.
It's not an under or overstatement but means exactly what the words imply. I currently have 2 reviews on my novel, Heart in the HIGHLANDS, on Amazon and completely understand both comments. We’re all entitled to our opinions, and this blog is about not only my opinion, but yours.
One review of my book is highly favorable and the other is middle-of-the-road.The reason? It’s all about things people like and dislike. Personally I enjoy various genres and writing styles, and the written word is more comfortable to me than the spoken word. For my tastes, most people talk too much and say very little worth hearing in the process.
So while conversation is part of being human and even necessary, it’s not my favorite pastime. I’d much rather curl up with a good book and lose myself in a make-believe world filled with adventure, romance, and paragraph upon paragraph of descriptive elements that tell a tale and paint a picture I’ll never forget.
I want to read about the stunning countryside or the exquisite pearl buttons on the bodice of a Regency evening gown. You get the picture.
So the first thing that I particularly enjoy are descriptive elements in stories. This can make a book long, even boring, if you’re not a genuine fan of the written word.
