Communicate Effectively – Resonate with Your Reader
Communicating effectively relies on an understanding of the language you’re speaking. It can be potentially frustrating to your readers if they can’t understand what you’re trying to get across to them.
For instance, if the person you’re trying to communicate with speaks German, it won’t matter how beautiful your French sounds. The line of communication is still broken if they don’t understand what you are trying to say.
As a writer, I’m not speaking about literal languages but writing that makes a connection by not leaving out key details or putting in unnecessary ones, leaving the reader very confused or disconnected from your book.
As the author, you know what you’re trying to say and understand it perfectly, but if it leaves your prospective reader feeling overwhelmed without a more understandable explanation, then you may have lost a sale on that book.
When writing a book description or even a book title, it would be wise to consider what you are trying to communicate. Does it connect with the genre of book you’re writing? You’ve all probably read a book title and wondered why it was even in that genre because it didn’t make sense. It all comes down to awareness.
If you’ve ever read book reviews, a simple strategy for finding out what readers like or dislike about books will come to light. They often describe things differently than the writer would and reveal what language resonates with them, which can be very helpful. It may or may not change anything about the way you pen your novel, but it does give you valuable incite into how your readers view things.
Feedback from other people is a good way to discover the good and the bad of your novel, which is valuable for future reference. Knowledge is always a beneficial objective!

Confronting the Past: Lessons from “The Atrium”
You have just experienced a traumatic car accident and then suddenly find yourself within a long, roofless, hallway that appears to be an atrium. This mysterious hallway is decorated with framed pictures that depict doorways into key moments in your life.
From a young boy to an older adult, a man navigates through a journey of self-reflection that forces him to confront prior life decisions and trauma that have shaped his existence. Reliving these past events causes him to examine his emotions, morals, and motives, and evaluate how he can overcome his past indiscretions and experience a life that is enriched in compassion and purpose rather than self.
The Atrium causes us to take a good look at how we treat other people, reevaluate our past, and create a new paradigm for the future that will alter our outlook and empower not only our lives but those around us.
Solitaire allows us to see the battle of the life and death experience by adding a layer of tension and anticipation, while demonstrating that there is still the possibility for growth and redemption.
