A look into Brooke's thought process

So, it has been about 3 weeks and I've resigned myself to this particular thought. Before I tell you what it is, I want to let you know how I got there. Read on for how my mind works through thoughts:

I read a blog post by Veronica Roth, author of the Divergent series, about back story and how to write it well without making the reader overwhelmed and, quite frankly, bored. She suggested "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner as a good example of well written back story. I bought the book but and waited and as I waited read some more blog posts, she then talked about books that have a point, that have a moral story behind it. This interested me a lot. She felt that a good book doesn't need this, just write and have your focus on writing a good story. Mmm what a brilliant idea.
So I just finished "The Maze Runner" and it made me think what I want people to feel at the end of the story. I decided *satisfied* was the word. I want you, the reader, to feel like it was time well spent.

I have decided that I wont focus on a moral that I wanted to portray quietly in the background, but rather focus on a great story. Good characters, good plot and a satisfying story. Yep. That's it. And it took three weeks to get to that.
