Dear Distinguished Author,
One might wonder, "What have I done to deserve this?" But let's focus on the matter at hand, rather than our past misdemeanors, which we'll choose to forget for now (though, admittedly, they've added a dash of color to our lives, haven't they?).
We're here to talk about something rather sobering that's lurking in the shadows of the literary world. It's a challenge that many authors and hopeful writers face, the daunting reality of their stories remaining untouched on the shelves.
Does this sound familiar? If it does, then let's just say it's fate that you're reading this message right now.
Why aren't your stories turning into page-turners? The reasons usually boil down to two primary components:
1. Your masterpiece's visibility amongst a sea of books.
The vitality of your characters that drive your narrative.
2. Unfortunately, many creative spirits stumble at these hurdles, especially the second one.
I've come across stories where the characters are so two-dimensional that calling them 'mediocre' feels like an undeserved compliment. Now, this isn't an attempt to rain on your parade, but could your book be treading the same path?
