Whether I’m writing a story, novel, or blog, I try to trigger an emotional response from the readers.
Big or little I hope my readers feel something other than boredom.
I love it when I become totally lost in a book, movie or TV show. Don’t you?
Time stands still or flies by on the winds of a hurricane. And when I reach the end, I sit back and savor the story. Full and content as if I’d just dined at a fine restaurant.
One day I hope to write something that captivating. Because nothing is worse than boring my readers.
I want my readers to feel something, fear, embarrassment, curiosity, hate, love, or disgust. Anything is better than nothing.
So, what is it that makes some stories better than others?
Fascination!
- Is the power to hold somebody’s attention completely or irresistibly.
- Something that inspires great interest.
- To be completely absorbed in something interesting
- To charm, enthrall, or lure.
That’s my goal! To write a story that holds a reader’s attention totally.
So what ignites such fascination?

I’ve been trying to write what I’d like to read. I don’t know if others will like it or not. Time will tell, I suppose.

I think we all write that way. I’d get bored writing something I didn’t enjoy.
