How Slow is Slow?

[Garmonbozia]

The best piece of writing advice I know comes from Herman Hesse: "Write the book you want to read." Not the book you think someone else might want to read, who might have quite different tastes from yours.

Thanks leo9, that quote made my day. I guess I started the thread because I was trying to write something that felt right to me and didn't understand how it would be labelled "slow" or "lacking action". I'm happy with my style and my base of readers so I shan't change the way I write but that quote really summed up how I feel.

Still, I won't ever use the 'slow' story code because I still feel it has negative connotations and I personally don't feel what I write is slow.
