Good Reads

There are a lot of elements that make up good fiction. I think most of us can probably agree on the big blocks of that make up, but then it all comes down to personal preference. What tips the scale between acknowledging something as good writing, admiring it in a purely technical sense, and becoming emotionally gripped in the story, savoring it for rereads, being impacted by it. It could just be one part, one line, or the entire thing. Whatever it is that elevates that piece of writing, separates it from equally talented work – that block is specific to the reader. That’s what I think, anyway.
