I can even ignore some (to a point) bad writing if the story keeps my attention well enough.Melissas Midnight Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871229267547737727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97743125022320979.post-4488644653855112712012-01-26T15:12:29.059-08:002012-01-26T15:12:29.059-08:00This is an easy one for me--the plot of the story ...This is an easy one for me--the plot of the story is waaay more important! You can be the best writer in the world, but if I'm not interested in what you're saying, I'm not going to be able to keep reading. And on the other hand, if you're writing about something really cool, I'm not going to mind as much if there's some shaky writing or errors, because the plot should be able to hold itself up, to an extent.

They just don't hold my attention very well.Mag @ Geek Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823121858336168191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97743125022320979.post-84750225810422871032012-01-26T08:55:35.873-08:002012-01-26T08:55:35.873-08:00Yes I would say good story also.
