This weeks question: How important is good writing to you? In an ideal world, a book would be beautifully written AND have great character development, plot, etc. But in the real world, which do you prefer: (1) Great characters and plot with lousy writing or (2) Middling character development and plot but gorgeous writing.
I would have to say that good writing is pretty important to me. If a story is badly written, it takes away from the characters and plot. That being said, just because something is written really well, doesn't mean the story is that great. So I would have to say that I'll take decent writing and a good story over really great writing and a poor or underdeveloped story/characters.
Nice! I chose characters, plot, etc over great writing. I mean, I've read some pretty awesome self-pub or indie books and they were awesome! Maybe the writing was a little shaky, but nothing that had me throwing the book down.

Have a GREAT weekend!
Old Follower :)
That's kind of how I am. Writing doesn't usually bother me too much - or I can at least look past it - but as long as the story is good, I'll keep reading!
DeleteSometimes lousy writing can be compensated by a great story and characters one can connect. I'm also not bothered much by typo or grammatical errors so long as the story is really engaging (save for authors in my country who try hard to write in english).

Thanks for stopping by and following! Yes, If a story is engaging, then I generally overlook poor writing. :)
DeleteI don't find myself paying much attention to writing when I read and I'm not sure why. I prefer having great characters. I'm a new GFC follower. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and following! I try not to pay much attention to writing when the story is good. But if the writing is great and the story isn't, its hard to get hooked.
DeleteGood answer to a hard question. I'm an existing follower.
