If someone finishes my book and can't remember physically reading it, I consider it mission accomplished. I try to write simply, directly and visually, without clever prose, without complicated grammar and devoid of anything that might distract or interrupt the reader and remind them they are reading a book. In short, my actual writing should be invisible and only the story and experience should resonate with the reader.
This seems to go against the grain for many writers, but to me, perfecting a kind of 'silent voice' is my ultimate goal when writing popular fiction.
Is this something anyone else does?
