My fear that my writing and ideas aren't strong enough to begin writing something has been shown to be unfounded. boy was I mistaken...
My friend passed along 50 Shades of Grey to me. She said that it was on all of the talk shows and it is selling like hot cakes. Not being a fan of fiction, romance fiction at that, my curiosity got the best of me and I read the wretched pointless story. egh. it left me feeling had and annoyed. The characters were clueless and monotonous. The story was predictable and weak. The sex was boring. and the writing was terrible!! But not all was lost on this pathetic book. If such garbage can sell, then I can surely come up with something that others will enjoy.
I think I was over thinking it. I thought that readers appreciated good stories and strong heroes and lyrical prose, when all they really want is smut. I'm not saying that I am going to come up with senseless trash to write about, but now I realize that I can definitely write something good enough to spark some interest. Time to get daydreaming ...
Thank you E.L. James, for lowering the bar.
