Those rare times that a book both conveys a great story and is well-written–they are Nirvana. I really have such limited time to read that I can’t shove myself through something that’s not a joy to read. I cringe over a lot of what sells well, just because it’s cornered a market or hits on particular buzz topics. I confess, I will read a topic I’m not interested in if it’s well-written over a sloppy guilty pleasure, any day. Q) Do you feel that a good story is more important than a good writing style?Ī) No. Then they sneak back up, taunting scenes and characters so flawed I have to plot them out of my head. They quiet every now and then, and it’s a nice reprieve, albeit a little boring. I can never write enough to soothe them, though the only solution seems to be to keep writing. Q) Welcome to Novel Ideas, Kelly! Let me start by asking you to tell me what drives you as a writer?Ī) The burning cells in my head drive me to write. Her book “Gift of the Dreamtime” is a really great read and I think after this interview, you will want to check it out! How could I refuse such a great request from a writer who has so much to say? I tried to get the real Ms Harrell down on paper, or blog paper anyway, for you to read about. Ms Kelley Harrell asked me to interview her for Novel Ideas. I have a very special interview to share with you all.
