I simply just LOVE to read. Its like air for me, can't seem to do without it. I really appreciate and admire those gifted individuals with their rich imaginations and able to write, coupled with the generosity to share it. Thank you and keep uploading.
I like stories that make sense, regardless of genre, as long as it has a clear direction and doesn't ramble aimlessly.
Good grammar and spelling does make a difference and makes the reading more enjoyable. On the other hand, we're not all gifted with this, maybe because of culture or language orientation or simply because we get too excited and caught up with the rush to tell the story before losing that train of thought. But that's what friends, fans and editors are for. Constructive criticism, editing and comments help a lot. You'll get this, wanted or not. Then again, never let yourself feel down if a comment isn't as expected or desired. Its your story, your call. Chin up. Rewrite. Update and upload.
Although a speed reader (yes, a pain at times since i wish to linger on some parts, i can finish a good thick novel in an hour or less with full comprehension ), I still appreciate a good story and not just go for quantity.
One can easily and quickly identify a time waster from the first paragraph. Sometimes from the first two lines even. Thought composition and presentation helps catch and hold a readers interest. The good ones keep you still, hooked per page and make you look for similar works by the same writer.
A friendly advise to all those rich imaginations out there : have a clear plot, make an outline and map out your stories first before going into details. It helps you keep on track and your readers will love you for it.
CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!
