Tayari Jones, just another author?

Tayari Jones may have had some interesting points on writing style, revision, and writers block, her stories, when read silently to one's self, or at least to myself, are lack luster and drawn out. To be able to even slightly enjoy Ms. Jone's work, I had to hear it spilling emotionally off her tongue as I sat in a well lit, comfortable auditorium. I almost felt as if Ms. Jones was a better reader than she was a writer, but none the less, she has her given talents in both categories. Perhaps my thoughts are biassed because I did not enjoy her genre or style of writing, but I really did not find it that breathe taking. Her works included good vocabulary and portrayed solid thought and connection between characters and events, but the stories she was reading seemed pointless as a whole. There was nothing greater to be perceived from her writing than was blatantly obvious, or worth noting.

Despite the missing punch in Jones' content, she has made it clear that she has the ability to entice a broad and vast audience as a professional writer, and for that I can most definitely conjure some respect. Also, the way she said that she was able to just keep writing in an ongoing manner, only to go back through her work and fearlessly remove anything that kept her from feeling content, gives her good reason to be humble. Taking away something you have put effort into, and realizing that you have wasted time and purpose, is often quite aggravating, and separating what is quality content from what is not is generally a harder task. Overall, I think that Tayari Jones is a somewhat dull, but respectable writer.
