Question of the Day with Sharon Cooper

 Question: What are some of the most compelling and unique elements that you always add to your stories?

 

I try to make all my stories unique and compelling. Some of the elements I use include:

·      Character conflicts that are relatable (to some extent) to readers.

·      Humor. Even if the storyline is somewhat serious, there are always areas in the story to drop in some humor to lighten the reading experience.

·      Angst. I add just enough angst to keep a reader reading, but not enough to make that same reader uncomfortable.

·      Surprise twists and turns throughout my stories keep a reader reading.

·      The value of family love. Whether characters are related or thrown together by love and respect for each other, there’s always a feeling of “family” in every story I write.
