Recently I talked about one of my reading pet peeves, and why it hurt my reading pleasure. While not every reader has the same pet peeves, we all have different elements that irk us in a novel. We might even have tropes that bother us when we write our own novels, but we write them anyway, because we’re not sure how to avoid it and feel it has to be part of the story to get published (such as love triangles in YA fiction).
I invite you to share what makes you stop reading, what yanks you out of a book, or what you wish you didn’t have to write. Over the next few weeks, I’ll discuss and analyze ways to avoid some of those peeves in our writing. Let's find some ways to get rid of those peeves!
