I Can't Read You

LJ Sellers, author of The Sex Club, lists several reasons why she can't finish a novel. It's a compelling list even for authors or those aspiring to become one. 

Check out LJ's post and then think about the reasons you might put down a novel or at least rank it in the bottom two out of five stars.  Are these reasons your own work might not be well liked by your readers?  What can you do to change that in your writing? 

Here's your challenge:  Take something you've written recently and consider the problem areas you've identified in reading other works or LJ's list.  If you find some of these problems, hammer out a working draft that will help solve them.
