Writing 2.3 - A Contract with the Reader
Reblogged from brainsnorts inc >.
When I took a graduate class called “Writing the Novel” a few years ago, I learned two very important things. First, if you tell a woman that she’s writing a romance novel when she thinks she’s writing literary fiction, be prepared to see a chair fly across the room. Second, there’s something called “The Contract with the Reader.” Let’s forget about throwing chairs for a while and focus on the contract, which was something I had never heard of before.
I concur on all points about "The Secret Window," but I love Johnny Depp and Stephen King so much, I gave them an actor's/writer's pass. LOL
