Re: Good writing

Elements I would say are a must: Consistent characterization; a logical chain of reactions for each event; appropriate pacing; characters reacting as humans (or demons, or angels, or werewolves or whatever) would in real life, instead of wooden marionettes; a theme providing the backbone for the plot(s); a good balance of detail vs non-specifics; that kind of thing.

Plus, proper sentence structure and concatenation; good punctuation, grammar and spelling. (Yeah, I know I'm not doing any of those very well in this comment OTL)

This is not to be a dead horse, but I've found that this blog goes over some very good pieces of advice by way of correcting the first Twilight book:

If anyone's interested. I know I found out things that I had never ever heard in any lesson or tutorial about writing, but that explained a lot of that "I will know it when I see it" feeling.

The water cooler forums seem to be good for that too.
