On Reading & Writing-What Do You Enjoy?

Day 2

Today in the writing industry there are far too many novels that make me feel like I’m reading a television script. I can usually tell what’s coming on the first page in the first few paragraphs. I definitely fit the better-catch-my-interest-fast category of readers for this type of novel.
 
First person, you see, is not my favorite style to read or write. Even if it's well done, I don’t have the patience for the style and it bores me to tears. I'm sure that I could write a first person complete novel draft in a few days because it’s just ‘yakkity-yak’ put down on paper. The “I this and I that” is a real turn-off, the Mr. Yuck of style.

But that’s my opinion. What’s yours?
