A portion of the article reads: “Readers say all the time, ‘I love X author because he writes page turners.’ And that indeed may be so. Or, ‘I love Literary because it gives me the chance to think.’ And that may indeed be so as well. But in each of those—if the author is proficient—readers love them because they’re a balance of ebb and flow. You have to have both.”
Ms. Malone wrote the article to bring attention to a part of the book writing process which is often encountered by writers writing a novel, but often misinterpreted. She stated: “Many authors starting out don’t have a feel for this yet. They run into a stretch of their novel and are left wondering ‘How do I really make this part action packed?’ or ‘How much is enough?’. These are good questions to ask, and by looking at them you can get an idea of how to go about it. But you may need a bit of guidance, and that’s one of the reasons I wrote the article.”
