People read to solve a problem, and most of the time, that problem is boredom.

As a writer, your job is to capture your readers’ attention and keep them engaged throughout your work. You can do this by providing them with a solution to their boredom.

How? By creating compelling characters, building a captivating plot, and delivering an intriguing story that keeps your readers guessing.

But remember, your writing should never feel like a chore for your readers. Instead, it should be a journey they willingly embark on because they’re eager to solve their boredom.

So, the next time you sit down to write, remember that you’re not just putting words on a page; you’re offering your readers an escape from their boredom and a chance to experience something new and exciting.
