PENNING YOUR NEXT STORY
How come one book resonates through history and everyone loves it? What’s the magic formula that captures an audience and holds their interest for years on end? Whether the books newly written or an older version, there’s something about it that draws a reader in.
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell is one such book for me. There are several other books on the market, new and old that I couldn’t put down once I started reading, but she’s my favorite writer. Is it the story plot, or is the writer so skilled, he or she’s drawn you into a magical world of history gone by, or into modern day experiences where there’s no escaping. You live and love right along with the characters in the book, feeling sadness when you turn the final page.
Someday, I’d like to find myself in the same position as Margaret Mitchell. She died before finding out what an impact her writing made on the masses. To me, capturing the public as she did would be the ultimate prize.
I’ll just keep on writing and hope some day I might stumble onto something that is near her expertise. Until that day, I’ll keep chasing the elusive rainbow when it comes to writing a story that no one will be able to put down.
We all have dreams in life and this is one of mine. If a writer, or reader, what are your dreams?

Hi Mary Suzanne, I think it's time the right story at the right time. Look at how books like Da Vinci Code and Harry Potter flew off the shelves. True your book has to be good, but you also have to be lucky.
Good Post, Dee
Thanks, Dee.
You're probably right. The story has to be good and well-written, but luck does play an important part in the circumstances.
Oh how I'd love to hit that lucky streak. LOL
Great post, Mary Suzanne. My next dream is to get my mystery/family saga novel published. I also love Gone With The Wind.
Lizzie,
Thanks for posting. I hope you fulfill your dream and find a publisher for your mystery/family saga. That would be great.
Like I told Dee, maybe we'll all get a lucky streak going when it comes to bestsellers. We can dream, can't we? LOL
Great Post, Mary Suzanne! I'm sure with you on Gone With The Wind - actually, it's what inspired me to start writing, as a teenager. I wanted to re-write the ending. No wonder what I write now is romance with happy endings!
My writing dream? My husband and I write such a special niche it'll never go viral - but what we hope is that it always entertains, and that we succeed in celebrating the rainbow of human sexuality.
Thanks, Adriana.
I write such a list of various genre, but there always has to be a happy ending on all of them.
Maybe one day I'll pen that special book. Still hoping.
