The Ah Hah Moment
By: Taige Crenshaw
By: Taige Crenshaw
In my opinion what makes the difference between an ok book and a great/amazing one is that all-important “ah hah” moment.So what is an "ah hah" moment?Ah Hah Moment ~ Taige Crenshaw Definition:A moment that elevates a story beyond just a book, to a book that makes the reader remember it. Remembering a line or a scene that makes them go back to it time and time again. This is a true keeper book that has wear and tear from continued reading. The book you buy multiple copies of and don’t lend it to anyone.These “ah hah” moments aren’t only in books. They can extend much further than that. They also happen in movies, TV shows and things that happen in your everyday life. In movies and TV shows these “ah hah” moments are those you remember and discuss with others. This is what happened to me recently. Some friends and I were discussing some of our favorite shows and movies. I noticed that each person had an “ah hah” moment when they talked about their show or movie they liked. In the everyday instances they ranged from falling in love, loss, and just a feel good or bad thing. Whenever I talk with others it is interesting hearing all these moments that resonated with each person.No matter that type of “ah hah” they all had one thing in common – they leave a lasting impression. Resonate with you long after done.Now back to books. So what makes an “ah hah” book? There is no sure formula. It has to be something that resonates with the reader. For me an “ah hah” moment is what makes the story more real. A book that captures me from the first line. To that last line that makes me feel not only content but when I go to sleep I dream of the book. And long after that last word I think of what I read. Give me everything. Emotions laid bare. Build the setting so I can feel it like I am there. Bring me along with the characters step by step. Give me a plot that is intriguing and makes me flip the pages.Then the most important thing of all, “ah hah” me. Give me something in the story that will flip that special figurative switch inside. This will bring reading to an all-new level. When you hit that “ah hah” level you are on my automatic must buy and read now list. Again we go back leaving a lasting impression. One that resonates with the reader.In the world and myths of my latest release Firestorm Encounters (Phoenix Intelligence Agency, Book #5) this is what I’m striving for— the Ah Hah Moment. That moment that makes a reader connect with my story on a deep level that resonates with them. In the book I’ve taken many parts of history, folklore and other interesting tidbits to create the world of the story Kaitya Erutan, my heroine is an Amazonian Warrior and Firebird which are two powerful races. Kaitya is a recently made hybrid and she is coming to terms with that when fate puts in her path a man who will change her life. The mythology of her and the world she inhabits grows with each book. This mythology is embedded into the very earth. Fyodor, the Shadow King has many obligations and things to overcome. The two come together a couple and each has their own quirks and personality which leads them on a road to love. It is an exhilarating ride for them. When I built the world of the Phoenix Intelligence Agency I knew it would have so much to be revealed brick by brick and layer by layer. There are so many beings and things in that world to explore. As I write each book I’m having a wonderful time laying down the layers of the world and going on each adventure.As a reader I seek out that “ah hah” moment in books. Those books are keeper ones that line my shelves and I read often. As a writer I strive to give the reader that “ah hah’ moment. Since reading is so varied and goes by what resonates with the reader I don’t succeed with everyone. Yet when I do with even just one reader I feel I have done what I set out to do - given that “ah hah” moment that will make me a keeper for a reader. I have a few readers who have contacted me letting me know that my story resonated with them in some way. That is its own “ah hah” moment that makes me as a writer proud and humbled that a reader has taken a journey with me.
