"- than plot-driven and has a clear beginning, middle and end is what editors (and readers) want."
I can't believe I got sick again! All day I felt tired and weak. I was thinking about resting for a day, but then figured maybe I still can put some words.
Honestly I don't really understand what the guide says for today. Does it mean I just have to think of all the page turners to keep readers' interests? More important than the plot itself?
The last book of Michael Crichton's I read, he spends tons of pages explaining things. Man, I don't know about other people, it is not a page turner for me.
Ok, I'm coughing and it's late. Will continue tomorrow.

Why do I keep having typos? What I read from this quote is that the editors/readers want to read something that is more powered by the characters, and less streamlined by the plots. That's an interesting thought. Are we more likely to be moved by the characters or by the plots? Hum... I've never thought of it that way.
