RE: Does Good Content Mean You Have More Chance At Success?
Unfortunately, luck plays more a part in success than good writing and great presentation.
50 Shades was featured on a local news station and it said how bad the book was... so many people wanted to see what the fuss was about that the printer had to print more books. That got reported too and it snowballed and snowballed... and snowballed.
Now, she's so successful that she is actually teaching writing...
There's no hope... ;)
Just like on Amazon, where there are a lot of good writers not getting recognition they deserve, luck has a massive part to play.
My advice is to not over-think it all, just do what you do and don't waste your time trying to figure out the algorithms - it's really not the answer.
Yes it's really fascinating to see how 50 shades panned out but with my simple brain, I didn't have a problem with her writing itself but the content . I did not like the storyline and for me was a poor version of the secretary which I did feel was done a whole lot better. But I do read different to alot of people with my dyslexia. I have learned that there are alot of different readers too. I think luck plays a massive part in how your book is portrayed and of course marketing. Saying that, I dont think there is any better writer than Stephen King and his success I believe is down to skill and luck.
James Spader movie?
I've not read 50 shades. I haven't read Twilight on which 50 shades is based (ripped off from) and I have no intention of watching any of the films - I saw the first twilight film, blackmailed to watch with my sick daughter...
Yes thats it and you will see james spader plays a business man who is namely mr grey and he likes a bit of slap and tickle
I seen twighlight once but never made that connection. If you watch secretary its hard not too
