should there be a few boring pages in a book your writing?

Answer 1

I think it comes naturaly, like in baseball, there's no grand slam without first having some base hits. Just set your story up, then swing for the fences. (Sorry for all the baseball)

Answer 2

You should constantly try to keep the story going so there are as few boring spots as possible. I would try to avoid any boring pages as much as possible. I've stopped reading a book because it has gotten boring.

Answer 3

Only if you think boring really describes you. But, I doubt that, so try to write for the readers you're targeting.

Answer 4

try to make your book as non-boring as possible coz you'll want people to recommend reading your book

Answer 5

Sure, the better to contrast with the sheer magnificence of the rest of it. (Actually, to judge from most of what are called classics, the more dull passages the better.)

Answer 6

As long as they stick to the plot, or provide information..if they are useless toss them out.

Answer 7

"Slow" is OK, but not "boring" or "tedious" (unless, as one answer suggested, you wish to write a literary masterpiece, full of cigars that aren't cigars).
