It is the bane, and pleasure when creating Romance fiction, to know immersion and fulfillment for the reader are based on clarity. Clarity of plot, clarity of message, clarity of the characters, clarity of the changes going on inside of them, clarity of the darkest moment -- but don't you dare be obvious ~ Persuasion for the Endowment of Sex Appeal (Academic Paper) Glenn Hefley
About This Quote

The purpose of a story is not to provide depth or meaning, but to provide enjoyment. Those who write in order to affect the lives of their readers have written stories that are not entertaining in any way. Instead, they have written stories that are laden with symbolism, philosophical lectures and just plain boring. There is no reason for anyone to read a story that is boring. Readers can see right through it.
