About This Quote

Things were progressing as expected, until an unexpected event occurred. It was as if the author of the story had been trying to lead up to an incredible event that would change everything. Instead, he spent most of his time writing about something that seemed insignificant. In fact, it was a turning point in the story. If he had taken a little more time to reveal the true significance of this event, his story would have been more believable and better written overall.
