I just had an eye opener. I&#8217;ve been reading some Kindle mystery authors.

I appreciate all over again how <a href=\"http:\/\/aprilrane.com\">April Rane<\/a> is able to weave a compelling story around interesting characters when many writers are not. What keeps your interest in a story? I want details, I want to be able to set the scene in my mind. I want to know what the self talk is throughout, and I&#8217;d like to know the details of what the surroundings look like. If it&#8217;s too detailed or boring, I can skim past it, but I like to immerse in the story by knowing the details. When a writer gives too few details, or fails to paint a picture or tell a compelling story, I lose interest.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=39981\">I get to edit April Rane&#8217;s Mystery Series<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/kindle-writers-are-a-whole-new-breed-of-writer\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Kindle writers are a whole new breed of writer&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/kindle-writers-are-a-whole-new-breed-of-writer\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/kindle-writers-are-a-whole-new-breed-of-writer\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/kindle-writers-are-a-whole-new-breed-of-writer\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Kindle%20writers%20are%20a%20whole%20new%20breed%20of%20writer&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/kindle-writers-are-a-whole-new-breed-of-writer\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What keeps you interested in a story?
