What turns a story from good to very good? For me, it is that extra something. That attention to detail on the part of the author.
Whether it be the description of a place that makes you shiver because you feel the chill air coming off the hills, or a portrayal of a character so real they could easily walk in through the door and you would not be surprised, these are the things that give a story something extra.
It might be a new idea, or a twist on an old idea, that starts you thinking, or a provocative passage that gets you wanting to shout for joy or roar with anger.
Whatever it is, these are the somethings, the details, that make all the difference.
