Everything Is Normal In This Small Town In New York, More Or Less. Okay, Maybe There Are A Few Weird

Everything is normal in this small town in New York, more or less. Okay, maybe there are a few weird things. Like the birds that take a little too long to fly away, the sunken eyes of tired hitchhikers, and the abandoned buildings around the area.

Oh yeah

There's also the group of kids who would begin to go missing.

One by one.

My current WIP, meant for ages 12+ idk how to describe it too well yet but think A Series of Unfortunate Events + Stranger Things + Welcome to Nightvale

I HAVE ARRIVED TO RENEW OUR ENEMITY

WHAT IS THOU'S OPINION ON PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA

MY OPINION IS YES. PINEAPPLE AND CHICKEN PIZZA. TRUST

I’m so hot.

By that I mean I’m an overthinker who can’t process simple things so my brain is overheating trying to keep up.

Reasons readers stop reading certain books

Limited internal conflict: There may not be enough of a personal struggle or conflict that the character faces, which can make it difficult for the reader to become invested in the story.

Too much unexpected content: There may be elements in the story that the reader does not expect or is not prepared for, which can be confusing or jarring. This is not plot twists but things like dark romance, certain tropes, genre, etc. This can be a good thing for some readers, but by being transparent you will find your ideal reader much more easily.

Slow pacing: The story may slow down considerably at some point, causing it to lose momentum and making it difficult for the reader to continue engaged.

Not enough of what the reader came for: The reader may feel that there is not enough of what they were hoping for in the story, such as character development, action, or a certain plot point.

Dense or challenging writing: The writing style may be overly dense, difficult to read or understand, making it difficult for the reader to stay engaged with the story.

Deviating from the characters: The story may deviate too much from the main characters that the reader cares about, causing them to lose interest or become confused. (think a book with multiple POVs where you just want to get back to one characters POV) (nothing against multiple POVs btw)

Personal preferences: The reader may simply not connect with the book or its themes, and there is nothing the author can do about that.
